Abstract. In this presentation, we introduce semi-autonomous neural ordinary differential equations (SA-NODEs), a variation of the classical NODEs, employing fewer parameters. We investigate the universal approximation properties of SA-NODEs for dynamical systems from both a theoretical and a numerical perspective. Within the assumption of a finite-time horizon, under general hypotheses we establish an asymptotic approximation result, demonstrating that the error vanishes as the number of parameters goes to infinity. Under additional regularity assumptions, we further specify this convergence rate in relation to the number of parameters, utilizing quantitative approximation results in the Barron space. Based on the previous result, we prove an approximation rate for transport equations by their neural counterparts. Our numerical experiments validate the effectiveness of SA-NODEs in capturing the dynamics of various ODE systems and transport equations. Additionally, we compare SA-NODEs with classical NODEs, highlighting the superior performance and reduced complexity of our approach.
