Tldr We develop a variational neural transport framework for nonlinear aggregation-diffusion equations by reformulating them as an optimal control problem with a neural network parameterized velocity field. We establish a rigorous error analysis, decomposing total error into approximation, optimization, Monte Carlo sampling, and time-discretization components, and prove corresponding bounds.
