The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is a well-known second-order method for rapid convergence and strong robustness when training small- to medium-sized neural networks (NNs). However, its computat...
arXiv:2606. 18175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a numerical method for the forward solution of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in which Bellman-Kalaba quasilinearization reduces the nonlinear problem to a sequence of linear subproblems, each discretized by collocation onto a trial space that is linear in its parameters and solved by a single direct linear least-squares QR factorization.

The paper introduces Linearized Subspace Refinement (LSR), a post‑training framework that uses the local linearized model of a trained neural network to compute a low‑dimensional correction via a reduced least‑squares problem. LSR is architecture‑agnostic and improves accuracy across tasks such as function approximation, operator learning, physics‑informed fine‑tuning, and noisy inverse problems, often achieving order‑of‑magnitude error reductions. The method reveals that standard training can leave significant accuracy plateaus due to numerical ill‑conditioning, and it offers a subspace rank that balances correction strength, stability, and noise sensitivity.

Nonlinear least-squares optimization is central to regression, physics-informed neural networks, and other machine-learning tasks. Such problems have a natural geometric interpretation, model predictions form a manifold in data space, while the chosen parameterization can introduce parameter-effects curvature that becomes a dominant source of nonlinearity.

The paper introduces the Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine (PI‑SCM), a backpropagation‑free neural network designed for solving nonlinear differential equations. By analytically evaluating local Jacobians, PI‑SCM linearizes the physical loss, enabling optimal weight determination through generalized linear least squares and avoiding iterative nonlinear optimization. The authors present a progressive algorithmic suite—PI‑SC‑I, PI‑SC‑II, and PI‑SC‑III—prove their universal approximation properties, and show through experiments that PI‑SCM achieves high‑fidelity predictions and parameter identification while accelerating training by orders of magnitude compared to standard PINNs.
