Gradient Surgery for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

The paper introduces PAM-GS, a physics-aware gradient surgery technique for Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). It addresses the highly imbalanced multi-task optimisation problem in PINNs by adaptively mitigating task interference based on observed gradient conflicts. Experiments on four PDE benchmarks show that PAM-GS achieves competitive solution accuracy while maintaining strong task-balanced performance, outperforming existing methods on most problems.

Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine: A Backpropagation-Free Neural Network with Fast Training for Nonlinear Differential Equations

The paper introduces the Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine (PI‑SCM), a backpropagation‑free neural network designed for solving nonlinear differential equations. By analytically evaluating local Jacobians, PI‑SCM linearizes the physical loss, enabling optimal weight determination through generalized linear least squares and avoiding iterative nonlinear optimization. The authors present a progressive algorithmic suite—PI‑SC‑I, PI‑SC‑II, and PI‑SC‑III—prove their universal approximation properties, and show through experiments that PI‑SCM achieves high‑fidelity predictions and parameter identification while accelerating training by orders of magnitude compared to standard PINNs.

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.
