Asymptotic Analysis of Deep Residual Networks
We investigate the asymptotic properties of deep Residual networks (ResNets) as the number of layers increases. We first show the existence of scaling regimes for trained weights markedly different from those implicitly assumed in the neural ODE literature. We study the convergence of the hidden state dynamics in these scaling regimes, showing that one may obtain an ODE, a stochastic differential equation (SDE) or neither of these. In particular, our findings point to the existence of a diffusive regime in which the deep network limit is described by a class of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Finally, we derive the corresponding scaling limits for the backpropagation dynamics.

Asymptotics-guided learning and symbolic regression for dispersive resonances
We study resonance prediction in dispersive media, formulated as nonlinear spectral problems for volume integral operators. The main idea is to use asymptotic analysis not only as a baseline approximation, but also as a …
Noise Variance Estimation Using Asymptotic Residual in Compressed Sensing
In compressed sensing, measurements are typically contaminated by additive noise, and therefore, information about the noise variance is often needed to design algorithms. In this paper, we propose a method for estimatin…

Anderson acceleration (AA) is widely used for accelerating the convergence of nonlinear fixed-point methods $x_{k+1}=q(x_{k})$, $x_k \in \mathbb{R}^n$, but little is known about how to quantify the convergence accelerati…
