Fourier Feature Pyramids for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

The paper introduces beignet, a neural field architecture that replaces the random Fourier feature embedding in physics-informed neural networks with a trainable multi‑resolution Fourier feature pyramid. By using Fourier interpolation and spectral derivatives, beignet efficiently computes spatial derivatives and scales accuracy through the feature pyramid rather than the neural network size. Experiments show that beignet achieves more accurate PDE solutions with fewer parameters than existing PINN methods and can reach machine‑precision residuals on the inviscid Burgers blowup problem using the Adam optimizer.

Enhancing Physics-Informed Neural Networks with Domain-aware Fourier Features: Towards Improved Performance and Interpretable Results

The paper proposes Domain-aware Fourier Features (DaFFs) for Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), embedding domain-specific geometry and boundary conditions into the positional encoding. DaFFs eliminate the need for explicit boundary loss terms, simplify optimization, and reduce training cost, leading to orders-of-magnitude lower errors and faster convergence compared to vanilla PINNs and RFF-based PINNs. An LRP-based explainability framework further shows that DaFFs produce more physically consistent relevance attributions, improving interpretability.

When Does Frequency Decomposition Benefit Physics-Informed Neural Networks? A Preliminary Ablation Study

The paper investigates when frequency decomposition aids Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) by introducing a dual‑branch, spectrally‑gated architecture (DBSG‑PINN) that separates low‑ and high‑frequency components. Experiments on five one‑dimensional PDE benchmarks show that frequency decomposition significantly reduces error—up to 59.2% on a multimodal wave problem—when the target solution is spectrally complex, but offers little improvement on smoother problems and can even worsen performance on a simple 1D wave benchmark. The adaptive gate’s effectiveness scales with the spectral richness of the solution, suggesting it exploits frequency structure rather than adding noise.

On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data. By incorporating physical constraints into the training objective, PINOs combine the cross-instance generalization of neural operators with the data efficiency of physics-informed learning.
