Polynomial-Augmented Neural Networks (PANNs) merge deep neural networks with polynomial expansions to leverage the flexibility of DNNs and the rapid convergence of polynomials. The architecture introduces orthogonality constraints, basis pruning, and polynomial preconditioning to stabilize training and improve accuracy across diverse problems. Experiments show that PANNs outperform both pure DNNs and polynomial methods in approximating smooth and limited‑smoothness functions, as well as in solving partial differential equations.
arXiv:2510. 10350v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Operator learning provides a data-driven approach to approximating solution operators of partial differential equations, but its effectiveness depends strongly on how input and output functions are represented.
The paper proposes a conjecture that composing a fixed number of distinct nonconstant polynomials with a generic high‑degree polynomial produces linearly independent polynomials, extending Newman–Slater’s theorem. The authors prove the conjecture for two polynomials and for any number when the degrees are bounded, and they show how these results explain the parameter symmetries of deep fully connected neural networks with generic polynomial activations. In particular, for architectures with layer‑specific activations of increasing degree, the conjecture’s proven cases fully characterize the parameter sets that yield the same end‑to‑end network function, and it also resolves the identifiability of shallow polynomial networks.

arXiv:2608. 05892v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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.
The paper introduces Spectral-like Neural Discretisation (SpeND), a mesh‑free method that learns stencil weights via a neural network to approximate the modal response of a spectral operator across a specified band of wavenumbers. By projecting the network output onto the space of polynomial‑consistent weights, SpeND ensures exact consistency while minimizing dispersion and dissipation errors in a self‑supervised, physics‑agnostic manner. Experiments on disordered 2‑D node sets demonstrate that the learned fourth‑order operator matches the exact spectral response over a wider band than traditional LABFM or structured‑grid finite differences, and retains fourth‑order convergence upon refinement.
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.
