| Research Type | Theoretical | We present error bounds for the flow matching procedure using fully deterministic sampling, assuming an L2 bound on the approximation error and a certain regularity condition on the data distributions. Our results come in two parts: first, we control the error of the flow matching approximation under the 2-Wasserstein metric in terms of the L2 training error and the Lipschitz constant of the approximate velocity field; second, we show that, under a smoothness assumption explained in Section 3.2, the true velocity field is Lipschitz and we bound the associated Lipschitz constant. Combining the two results, we obtain a bound on the approximation error of flow matching which depends polynomially on the L2 training error. |

| Pseudocode | No | The paper primarily focuses on mathematical derivations, theorems, and proofs related to error bounds for flow matching methods. It does not include any explicitly labeled pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not contain any statements about releasing source code for the methodology described, nor does it provide links to any code repositories. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper discusses 'data distributions' (π0, π1) as theoretical constructs for flow matching, but it does not refer to any specific, named datasets (e.g., MNIST, CIFAR-10) or provide any access information (links, DOIs, citations) for publicly available datasets. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper is theoretical in nature, deriving error bounds. It does not describe any experimental evaluations or use any datasets in a manner that would require specifying training, validation, or test splits. |
