Random test functions, $H^{-1}$ norm equivalence, and stochastic variational physics-informed neural networks

arXiv:2605. 03542v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The dual norm characterisation of weak solutions of second-order linear elliptic partial differential equations is mathematically natural but computationally intractable: evaluating the $H^{-1}$ norm of the residual requires a supremum over an infinite-dimensional test space.

Boundary-Adapted PINNs for Elliptic Dirichlet Problems: $H^2(\Omega)$ A Priori Error Bounds with Application to Mean Escape Time Computation

arXiv:2607. 19167v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the numerical computation of the Mean Escape Time (MET) $\tau:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ of a stochastic process from a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$, we study elliptic Dirichlet boundary value problems (BVPs) using boundary-enforced Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), in which the Dirichlet condition is imposed exactly by multiplying the network output with a predefined distance-to-boundary approximation $\rho$.

A Zeroth-Order Deep Learning Method for Fully Nonlinear Parabolic Partial Differential Equations with Unknown Coefficients

arXiv:2606. 24999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) with unknown coefficients arise widely in scientific machine learning, including continuous-time reinforcement learning, yet solving them efficiently in a data-driven way remains challenging.

Learning rate adaptive stochastic gradient descent optimization methods: numerical simulations for deep learning methods for partial differential equations and convergence analyses

arXiv:2406. 14340v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The standard stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization method, as well as adaptive methods such as the Adam optimizer fail to converge if the learning rates do not converge to zero (particularly, in the situation of constant learning rates).

Taming the Loss Landscape of PINNs with Noisy Feynman-Kac Supervision: Operator Preconditioning and Non-Asymptotic Error Bounds

arXiv:2606. 00643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) often train slowly or fail to converge on challenging partial differential equations (PDEs), a behavior recently linked to severely ill-conditioned loss landscapes inherited from the underlying differential operator.

PG-KINN: A Physics-Informed Petrov-Galerkin Kolmogorov-Arnold Network for Solving Forward and Inverse PDEs

arXiv:2607. 20378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed learning of partial differential equations (PDEs) has been dominated by multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), whose spectral bias and dense parameterization limit both accuracy and interpretability.
