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.

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.

The paper introduces an Adaptive Hybrid Subspace Levenberg–Marquardt (HSLM) algorithm that tackles large‑scale nonlinear least‑squares problems by building a low‑dimensional subspace from gradient, memory, Krylov‑subspace, and randomized curvature data. It employs a deterministic adequacy monitor to adaptively enrich the subspace and decouples step acceptance from damping adjustment, using Armijo backtracking for step length and a ratio of actual to predicted reduction for damping updates. The authors prove global convergence to stationarity and local linear and superlinear convergence, and demonstrate that HSLM matches the convergence of classical and Krylov‑subspace LM while significantly reducing per‑iteration cost, especially as the parameter dimension increases.

The paper introduces StablePDENet, a physics-informed adversarial training framework that regularizes the residual sensitivity of neural operators to improve stability against input perturbations. The method formulates operator learning as a min–max optimization, where a physics-based projected‑gradient adversary generates perturbations and the outer objective combines the attacked physics loss with a normalized residual‑sensitivity penalty. Experiments on benchmark problems show that StablePDENet outperforms PI‑DeepONet and its adversarial variant in accuracy under adversarial attacks while maintaining competitive performance on clean data, and it also enhances generalization and highlights the distinction between model sensitivity and intrinsic operator ill‑conditioning.

The paper demonstrates that a neural solver trained on a single condition can generate a reusable response space via its output Jacobian, enabling efficient cross‑condition solution transfer. By introducing Linearized Subspace Transfer (LST) and Active Transfer Modeling (ATM), the authors recover target solutions through residual minimization and selectively acquire additional response spaces based on coverage indicators. Experiments on six PDE systems show that this approach reduces error and offline construction cost compared to physics‑informed baselines, achieving significant accuracy gains and rapid target adaptation.
