Energy Manifold Natural Gradient Descent: Riemannian Optimization for Neural PDE Solvers

arXiv:2607. 22004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Energy natural gradient descent (ENGD) aligns parameter updates with the curvature of an underlying function-space energy, but existing formulations assume an unconstrained Euclidean parameter domain.

Mosaic: A Benchmark Suite for Differentiable Physics Solvers

arXiv:2606. 27895v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Differentiable partial differential equation (PDE) solvers underpin solver-in-the-loop ML training, gradient-based optimal control, and inverse problems, yet the practical cost of obtaining correct, usable gradients from a given solver on a given problem is largely undocumented.

SNAP-FM: Sparse Nonlinear Accelerated Projection for Physics-Constrained Generative Modeling

arXiv:2607. 00095v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative models have emerged as scalable surrogates for physical simulation, yet they offer no guarantee that their outputs respect the conservation laws, boundary conditions, and nonlinear invariants that govern the underlying physics.

Accelerating SAV-based optimization via randomized low-rank Hessian approximation

arXiv:2606. 10562v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a new optimization method, the Nystr\"om-enhanced relaxed scalar auxiliary variable method (N-RSAV), which incorporates curvature information into the RSAV framework to accelerate convergence while preserving an unconditional modified energy dissipation law.

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.

PG-KINN: A Physics-Informed Petrov-Galerkin Kolmogorov-Arnold Network for Solving Forward and Inverse PDEs

arXiv:2607. 20378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed learning of partial differential equations (PDEs) has been dominated by multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), whose spectral bias and dense parameterization limit both accuracy and interpretability.

A Riemannian Approach to Low-Rank Optimal Transport

arXiv:2606. 12120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank optimal transport (OT) mitigates the quadratic scaling of classical solvers, yet existing approaches rely heavily on first-order mirror-descent updates that require careful hyperparameter tuning and ignore the optimization landscape's curvature.

Mitigating Gradient Pathology in PINNs through Aligned Constraint

arXiv:2605. 25001v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are powerful for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), their training is often paralyzed by gradient pathology.

Introduction to optimization methods for training SciML models

arXiv:2601. 10222v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Optimization is central to both modern machine learning (ML) and scientific machine learning (SciML), yet the structure of the underlying optimization problems differs substantially across these domains.
