Hard Constraint Projection in a Physics Informed Neural Network (Burgers)

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

This paper extends the hard constraint projection (HCP) method to the nonlinear 1D Burgers' equation, integrating it into a physics‑informed neural network (PINN). By discretising the equation, constructing a constraint matrix, and adding an unlearnable projection layer, the HCP‑PINN enforces the governing PDE during training. Experiments show that the HCP‑PINN achieves higher accuracy—about an order of magnitude lower data error than a standard PINN—and better adherence to the PDE, while being less sensitive to the number and placement of collocation points.

A Convex Quasilinearization Method for Solving Nonlinear PDEs with Physics-Informed Neural Networks

arXiv:2606. 18175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a numerical method for the forward solution of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in which Bellman-Kalaba quasilinearization reduces the nonlinear problem to a sequence of linear subproblems, each discretized by collocation onto a trial space that is linear in its parameters and solved by a single direct linear least-squares QR factorization.

Adjoint Method versus Physics-Informed Neural Networks in PDE-Constrained Inverse Problems

arXiv:2606. 12337v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inverse problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) are central to computational mechanics and are commonly solved by adjoint-based optimization, while physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as a flexible alternative.
