Higher-Order Geometric Updates for Levenberg-Marquardt Method via Riemann Normal Coordinates

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.

From Non-Convex Self-Concordant Regularization to Scalable Quasi-Newton Training of PINNs

arXiv:2608. 04206v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) often require high-accuracy quasi-Newton refinement to obtain reliable partial differential equation solutions, but their residual objectives can exhibit indefinite, nearly singular, and poorly scaled local curvature.

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.

Generalization in Nonlinear Least Squares via Learned Feature Geometry

arXiv:2606. 08799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the generalization of ridge-regularized nonlinear least-squares models via on-average algorithmic stability, deriving error bounds for local minimizers in terms of a data-dependent effective dimension that reflects the geometry of the gradient model at the trained parameters, through the empirical Jacobian Gram matrix and a residual--curvature term.

Iso-Riemannian Optimization on Learned Data Manifolds

arXiv:2510. 21033v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a theory of iso-Riemannian optimization for problems constrained to learned data manifolds, a setting in which classical Riemannian optimization - and Riemannian gradient descent in particular - can be poorly suited.
