PL-KKT-hPINN: Enforcing Nonlinear Equality Constraints on Neural Networks via Piecewise-Linear Projection

arXiv:2606. 10682v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have shown strong potential for process modeling, physical equations are only enforced as soft constraints during training, and thus, they do not guarantee constraint satisfaction at inference.

Differentiable Hybrid Modelling for Learning and Optimising Chemical Transport Processes from Experimental Data

The paper presents a differentiable hybrid modelling framework that combines a JAX finite volume population balance solver with learnable neural network components. This approach learns constitutive laws and initial conditions directly from experimental data, improving the fidelity of transport models in chemical engineering. The framework’s differentiability also enables optimisation of experimental settings for desired process outcomes.

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.

Linearized PINN with pretrained nonlinear layers

The paper introduces a linearized Physics-Informed Neural Network (lPINN), a reduced‑order neural basis approach for solving forward and inverse differential equations. In an offline phase, lPINN learns continuous, differentiable neural basis functions from numerical solutions, which are then frozen for new problem instances; the online solution is obtained by minimizing the governing‑equation residual with additional constraints. Experiments on advection‑diffusion, Burgers', and nonlinear pendulum equations show that lPINN achieves lower solution and parameter errors than vanilla PINNs while reducing online inference times by up to three orders of magnitude, and its continuous representation generalizes to finer meshes without retraining.

Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine: A Backpropagation-Free Neural Network with Fast Training for Nonlinear Differential Equations

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.

Hard-constraint physics-residual networks for hydrogen crossover prediction and high-pressure extrapolation in PEM water electrolysis

arXiv:2511. 05879v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hydrogen crossover is a critical safety and efficiency constraint in high-pressure polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE), but accurate prediction remains difficult because data are limited, transport physics are strongly coupled, and industrial operation requires reliable extrapolation beyond observed conditions.

Differentiable Hybrid Modelling for Learning and Optimising Chemical Transport Processes from Experimental Data

The paper presents a differentiable hybrid modelling framework that combines a JAX finite volume population balance solver with neural network components to learn constitutive laws and initial conditions directly from experimental data. This approach addresses biases from hand‑picked models and the limitations of black‑box surrogates, enabling more accurate transport predictions. The framework’s differentiability also facilitates optimisation of experimental settings for desired process outcomes.
