The Porous Medium Equation (PME), given by $u_t = Δ(u^m)$ for $m > 1$, is a degenerate nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation that arises in various physical applications such as fluid flow...
The paper introduces a physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework for modeling fluid flow in dual‑network porous media, specifically addressing double porosity/permeability (DPP) systems. The framework embeds governing equations and boundary conditions into the loss function with adaptive weighting, employs dynamic collocation point selection, and uses shared trunk architectures to efficiently capture coupled pore‑network behavior. It is mesh‑free, accurately handles discontinuities across layered domains, and supports robust inverse analysis for parameter identification, with a systematic convergence study validating its stability and accuracy.

The paper evaluates the robustness of Physics‑Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) against noisy data in inverse problems, comparing them to a finite element method (FEM) plus optimizer baseline. Experiments on viscosity identification in 1D Burgers’ equation and 2D/3D Taylor‑Green Vortex with additive Gaussian noise show that PINNs, while requiring less human expertise, are outperformed by the traditional FEM approach in accuracy (e.g., RMSE 0.01 vs. 0.0013 for 2D Taylor‑Green with σ=1). PINNs do, however, exhibit better scaling with problem complexity, and the study highlights specific training failures that must be addressed for PINNs to become more competitive.

The paper introduces a linearized Physics-Informed Neural Network (lPINN), a reduced‑order neural basis approach for solving forward and inverse differential equations. In an offline phase, lPINN learns continuous, differentiable neural basis functions from numerical solutions, which are then frozen for new problem instances; the online solution is obtained by minimizing the governing‑equation residual with additional constraints. Experiments on advection‑diffusion, Burgers', and nonlinear pendulum equations show that lPINN achieves lower solution and parameter errors than vanilla PINNs while reducing online inference times by up to three orders of magnitude, and its continuous representation generalizes to finer meshes without retraining.
