Uniform Convergence Guarantees for the Deep Ritz Method for Nonlinear Problems

Patrick W. Dondl, Johannes Müller, Marius Zeinhofer

Abstract: We provide convergence guarantees for the Deep Ritz Method for abstract variational energies. Our results cover non-linear variational problems such as the $p$-Laplace equation or the Modica-Mortola energy with essential or natural boundary conditions. Under additional assumptions, we show that the convergence is uniform across % bounded families of right-hand sides.
