arXiv:2605.25057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural networks with randomly generated hidden weights (RaNNs) have been extensively studied, both as a standalone learning method and as an initialization for fully trainable deep learning methods. In this work, we study RaNN expressivity for learning solutions to non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs). Despite their widespread use in practical applications, a rigorous theoretical understanding of the approximation properties of RaNNs in this context remains limited. Here, we derive error bounds for RaNN approximations to time-depend
