HUANet: Hard-Constrained Unrolled ADMM for Constrained Convex Optimization

HUANet is a deep neural network architecture that unrolls the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) into a trainable model for accelerating parametric constrained convex optimization. It embeds a hard‑constrained neural network in each ADMM iteration, using a differentiable correction stage to enforce affine equalities of the primal subproblem. The method also incorporates first‑order optimality conditions into a self‑supervised training loss, and numerical experiments on benchmark problems and a control application demonstrate its effectiveness in speeding up constrained convex optimization.

Introduction to optimization methods for training SciML models

arXiv:2601. 10222v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Optimization is central to both modern machine learning (ML) and scientific machine learning (SciML), yet the structure of the underlying optimization problems differs substantially across these domains.

Mosaic: A Benchmark Suite for Differentiable Physics Solvers

arXiv:2606. 27895v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Differentiable partial differential equation (PDE) solvers underpin solver-in-the-loop ML training, gradient-based optimal control, and inverse problems, yet the practical cost of obtaining correct, usable gradients from a given solver on a given problem is largely undocumented.
