Topological DeepONets and a generalization of the Chen-Chen operator approximation theorem
Deep Operator Networks (DeepONets) provide a branch-trunk neural architecture for approximating nonlinear operators acting between function spaces. In the classical operator approximation framework, the input is a function $u\in C(K_1)$ defined on a compact set $K_1$ (typically a compact subset of a Banach space), and the operator maps $u$ to an output function $G(u)\in C(K_2)$ defined on a compact Euclidean domain $K_2\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. In this paper, we develop a topological extension in which the operator input lies in an arbitrary Hausdorff locally convex space $X$. We construct topological feedforward neural networks on $X$ using continuous linear functionals from the dual space $...
