Iterative Training of Physics-Informed Neural Networks with Fourier-enhanced Features

arXiv:2510. 19399v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spectral bias, the tendency of neural networks to learn low-frequency features first, is a well-known issue with many training algorithms for physics-informed neural networks (PINNs).

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.

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.

Fourier Preconditioning for Neural Feature Learning

arXiv:2607. 02199v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mutual information (MI)-inspired feature learning techniques are capable of generating low-dimensional embeddings that retain nonlinear dependence structures, but direct estimations of MI suffer from noisy probability distribution estimates in the low-data regime.
