This work develops a framework for two-sided error estimation for Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) solving ordinary differential equations, providing computable a posteriori lower and upper bounds. It introduces localized one-sided growth conditions for sharper certificates and addresses challenges in obtaining nontrivial lower bounds for hard-constrained initial conditions.

Key insights

  • Using one-sided Lipschitz conditions for upper error bounds can yield sharper and less conservative certificates compared to traditional global Lipschitz constants.
  • Scalar a posteriori lower bounds can be uninformative (trivial) for hard-constrained PINNs with zero initial error, requiring directional probing to provide meaningful lower error diagnostics.
  • The framework enables the first rigorous two-sided error enclosures for PINNs applied to ODEs, significantly enhancing the reliability and interpretability of their predictions.
