These lecture notes accompany the PhD course "Physics Informed Neural Network" offered at the University of Bozen/Bolzano in 2025/2026. They introduce Physics Informed Deep Neural Networks (PINNs) and Neural Operators (NOs), covering implementation from scratch in PyTorch and with libraries such as NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo. The notes also discuss advanced topics like Mixture-of-Models, Fourier Neural Operators, and Physics‑Informed Kolmogorov‑Arnold Networks (PIKANs).
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.
arXiv:2608. 14619v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work proposes a new interpretable neural operator framework, termed the Physics Informed Kernel Function Neural Operator (PIKFNO), which explicitly incorporates physics informed kernel functions derived from governing equations into the neural operator architecture.
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.
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.
