课程介绍:In this talk, I will discuss our new research on the connection between finite element methods and deep neural network (DNN) functions. At the beginning of the talk, we will first showcase some successful applications of neural networks in both physical and data sciences. Then, I will recall our previous studies that any linear finite element functions, regardless of dimension or mesh, can be represented by DNNs with the ReLU activation function. Extending this finding to finite element functions of arbitrary order has been a challenging problem. In this presentation, we will unveil a solution to this open problem. Specifically, we will demonstrate that finite element functions of any order, constructed on arbitrary simplicial meshes in any dimension, can be represented by a type of DNN equipped with appropriately selected activation functions. Additionally, we will illustrate how this capability to express finite element functions can be utilized to determine an approximation rate for such DNNs.s.
