Approximation of the Basset force in the Maxey-Riley-Gatignol equations via universal differential equations

The paper addresses the Maxey‑Riley‑Gatignol equations, which describe the motion of spherical inertial particles in a fluid and include the Basset force—a history‑dependent integral term. Because this term complicates numerical solutions, it is often omitted, yet it significantly influences particle trajectories. The authors propose using universal differential equations, specifically neural networks, to approximate the Basset force, thereby converting the equations into a system of ordinary differential equations solvable by standard methods such as Runge‑Kutta.

A Convex Quasilinearization Method for Solving Nonlinear PDEs with Physics-Informed Neural Networks

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.

DeepSPoC: A Deep Learning Based Sequential Propagation of Chaos

DeepSPoC is a neural particle method that replaces direct particle-particle interactions in sequential propagation of chaos (SPoC) with particle‑network interactions, using a neural density representation (KRnet) to approximate the empirical measure. By simulating particles in batches and embedding a neural network into the mean‑field SDE coefficients, DeepSPoC reduces memory usage and computational cost compared to traditional particle methods. The approach is demonstrated on various mean‑field equations, showing improved scalability for high‑dimensional problems.
