Operator-informed initialization for Fourier features physics-informed neural networks

The paper introduces an operator-informed initialization for Fourier Feature Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to mitigate spectral bias, where certain frequencies converge slower. By analyzing training dynamics in the Neural Tangent Kernel regime, the authors derive an evolution equation linking convergence rates to the product of the differential operator’s symbol and the spectral density of initialization weights. They propose tailoring the initial weight distribution to the specific PDE, which balances convergence across frequencies and improves prediction accuracy without extra training cost, as confirmed by experiments on linear and nonlinear PDEs.

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.

Alternating Levenberg-Marquardt Training of Physics-Informed Neural Networks with Fourier-Enhanced Features

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) often fail to accurately resolve partial differential equations (PDEs) with high-frequency or multi-scale solutions, as well as strongly nonlinear problems. Two factors underlie this difficulty: spectral bias, the tendency of neural networks to underfit high-frequency features; and representation-coefficient coupling, the entanglement of representation learning and coefficient fitting within a single nonconvex optimization objective.

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

arXiv:2606. 06164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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.

Gen-PINNs: Generative Adversarial Physics Informed Neural Networks for solving partial differential equations

Gen-PINNs introduces a deterministic residual-adversarial framework that combines Generative Adversarial Networks with Physics-Informed Neural Networks to solve partial differential equations. The method addresses limitations of standard PINNs—such as spectral bias, loss imbalance, and optimizer stagnation—by using a generator that learns the PDE solution with dynamically weighted physics-informed losses and discriminators that assess residuals against zero-residual states. Experiments on nonlinear and higher-order PDEs (Burgers, Allen‑Cahn, Kuramoto‑Sivashinsky) show significant gains in accuracy and convergence, especially for sharp-front, stiff, and high-order problems.
