Abstract
Whatβs a numerically verified proof? In pure maths we want to prove theorems, usually using pen and paper. On the other side there exist hundreds of very elaborate ways to approximately solve equations, for example physics-informed neural networks. Due to the advent of greater computational power it has recently become possible to use such approximate solutions in a theorem proofs. In the talk, Iβll explain how that works in a toy example and then briefly mention some applications of this in pure maths.
Series This talk is part of the Accelerate Lunchtime Seminar Series series.
