TL;DR: A new deep neural network called DeepONet can lean various mathematical operators with small generalization error and can learn various explicit operators, such as integrals and fractional Laplacians, as well as implicit operators that represent deterministic and stochastic differential equations.
Abstract: It is widely known that neural networks (NNs) are universal approximators of continuous functions. However, a less known but powerful result is that a NN with a single hidden layer can accurately approximate any nonlinear continuous operator. This universal approximation theorem of operators is suggestive of the structure and potential of deep neural networks (DNNs) in learning continuous operators or complex systems from streams of scattered data. Here, we thus extend this theorem to DNNs. We design a new network with small generalization error, the deep operator network (DeepONet), which consists of a DNN for encoding the discrete input function space (branch net) and another DNN for encoding the domain of the output functions (trunk net). We demonstrate that DeepONet can learn various explicit operators, such as integrals and fractional Laplacians, as well as implicit operators that represent deterministic and stochastic differential equations. We study different formulations of the input function space and its effect on the generalization error for 16 different diverse applications. Neural networks are known as universal approximators of continuous functions, but they can also approximate any mathematical operator (mapping a function to another function), which is an important capability for complex systems such as robotics control. A new deep neural network called DeepONet can lean various mathematical operators with small generalization error.

TL;DR: It is found that single rat neocortical pyramidal neurons adapt with a time scale that depends on the time scale of changes in stimulus statistics, which is consistent with fractional order differentiation.
Abstract: Neural systems adapt to changes in stimulus statistics. The authors find that neocortical pyramidal neurons adapt with a time scale that depends on the time scale of changes in stimulus statistics, and that for individual neurons the firing is a fractional derivative of slowly varying stimulus parameters. Neural systems adapt to changes in stimulus statistics. However, it is not known how stimuli with complex temporal dynamics drive the dynamics of adaptation and the resulting firing rate. For single neurons, it has often been assumed that adaptation has a single time scale. We found that single rat neocortical pyramidal neurons adapt with a time scale that depends on the time scale of changes in stimulus statistics. This multiple time scale adaptation is consistent with fractional order differentiation, such that the neuron's firing rate is a fractional derivative of slowly varying stimulus parameters. Biophysically, even though neuronal fractional differentiation effectively yields adaptation with many time scales, we found that its implementation required only a few properly balanced known adaptive mechanisms. Fractional differentiation provides single neurons with a fundamental and general computation that can contribute to efficient information processing, stimulus anticipation and frequency-independent phase shifts of oscillatory neuronal firing.
