arXiv:2608. 11020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We systematically investigate finite-difference (FD) derivative computation in Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) as an alternative to automatic differentiation (AD).

Generative Monte Carlo (GMC) is a new particle transport simulation method that embeds generative AI into solving the linear Boltzmann equation. By treating cell transmission as a conditional generation task, neural networks trained with conditional flow matching produce particle exit states—position, direction, and path length—without simulating scattering histories. GMC generalizes across materials using optical coordinate scaling, matches standard Monte Carlo’s statistical accuracy and convergence, and achieves constant‑cost per cell transmission, offering significant speedups in optically thick regimes.

We systematically investigate finite-difference (FD) derivative computation in Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) as an alternative to automatic differentiation (AD). On three benchmark PDEs we show that, with a properly calibrated step size, FD matches AD in accuracy on every problem while running faster across the full tested batch-size range and using substantially less GPU memory, and that a stochastic variant we propose outperforms AD on a stationary problem.
