Abstract: Using deep neural networks to solve PDEs has attracted a lot of attentions recently. However, why the deep learning method works is falling far behind its empirical success. In this paper, we provide a rigorous numerical analysis on deep Ritz method (DRM) cite{wan11} for second order elliptic equations with Neumann boundary conditions. We establish the first nonasymptotic convergence rate in H1 norm for DRM using deep networks with mathrmReLU2 activation functions. In addition to providing a theoretical justification of DRM, our study also shed light on how to set the hyper-parameter of depth and width to achieve the desired convergence rate in terms of number of training samples. Technically, we derive bounds on the approximation error of deep mathrmReLU2 network in H1 norm and on the Rademacher complexity of the non-Lipschitz composition of gradient norm and mathrmReLU2 network, both of which are of independent interest.
