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.

Gradient-Update Mismatch: Rethinking Conflict-Free Training of Physics-Informed Neural Networks

The paper identifies a problem called Gradient-Update Mismatch (GUM), where optimizers can alter conflict-free gradient directions produced by gradient surgery, leading to conflicts between physics residual and boundary condition losses in Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). To address this, the authors propose Gradient-Update Alignment (GUA), which projects the optimizer’s update onto the conflict-free cone and adjusts internal optimizer state accordingly. Experiments show GUM is common across many optimizers, and GUA consistently eliminates conflicts and significantly reduces error in PINN training.

Latent Generative Solvers for Generalizable Long-Term Physics Simulation

The paper introduces the Latent Generative Solver (LGS), a neural PDE solver that combines a Physics VAE, a Pyramidal Flow-Forcing Transformer, and input noising to achieve generalization across twelve PDE families and stable long-term rollouts. LGS matches or surpasses deterministic baselines on one-step predictions, outperforms them on 5- and 10-step rollouts, and significantly reduces long-horizon error while cutting compute costs. It also adapts efficiently to unseen higher-resolution systems, demonstrating strong empirical performance on 2D regular-grid PDE simulations.

Eikonal Regularisation in Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Three-Dimensional Level-Set Advection: Transferability of Two-Dimensional Design Principles

arXiv:2608. 08322v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks applied to the level-set formulation of interface advection commonly augment the residual and initial-condition losses with an eikonal regulariser, penalising the deviation of $\|\nabla\phi\|$ from unity.

Spectral Asymptotics of Neural Network Loss Landscapes: An Exact Decomposition of the Curvature Exponent

arXiv:2606. 02596v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The curvature exponent $\alpha$ in $h_k \propto \sigma_k^\alpha$ -- governing how Hessian eigenvalues scale with gradient singular values -- varies systematically across layer types ($\alpha \approx 2$ for convolutions, $\approx 1$ for transformer attention, $< 1$ for MLP up-projections).
