Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) provide a meshless approach for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), but suffer severe degradation in stiff and shock-dominated problems, where small PDE residuals can correspond to globally inaccurate solutions. We show these failures are multi-causal, arising from the concurrent interplay of (i) spectral bias against sharp features, (ii) imbalanced multi-term optimization and loss-weight collapse, (iii) violation of temporal causality, and (iv) under-resolved collocation.

arXiv:2607. 11094v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have shown promise for solving partial differential equations (PDEs); however, their synchronous optimization treats residuals of different regions and constraints equally, which is inconsistent with the progressive "from source to response" physical information propagation path, degrading training stability and accuracy.

arXiv:2606. 01122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a five-step diagnostic protocol for residual-trained neural HJB-PIDE solvers with control-dependent L\'evy jumps, targeting a general failure mode of neural PDE methods: a learned solution can match headline scalar diagnostics while miscomputing an operator inside its training loss.
