Regularity of Second-Order Elliptic PDEs in Spectral Barron Spaces

Abstract

We establish a regularity theorem for second-order elliptic PDEs on ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ in spectral Barron spaces. Under mild ellipticity and smallness assumptions, the solution gains two additional orders of Barron regularity. As a corollary, we identify a class of PDEs whose solutions can be approximated by two-layer neural networks with cosine activation functions, where the width of the neural network is independent of the spatial dimension.
