“…Recently, certain artificial neural networks (ANNs) based approximation methods for PDEs have been proposed and various numerical simulations for such methods suggest (cf., e.g., [9,11,13,14,19,21,22,24,29,30,32,35,38,40,41,46,47,[49][50][51][55][56][57]59,60] and the references mentioned therein) that deep ANNs might have the capacity to indeed overcome the curse of dimensionality in the sense that the number of real parameters used to describe the approximating deep ANNs grows at most polynomially in both the PDE dimension d ∈ N = {1, 2, . .…”
