The paper introduces JI-PINN, a joint initialization strategy for physics-informed neural networks that simultaneously initializes neutron flux and the effective multiplication factor (keff) using a low-resolution approximate solution. By jointly optimizing both quantities under physical constraints, the method achieves significant reductions in computational time—up to nearly 50%—across various benchmark neutron diffusion problems while maintaining accuracy. It also reduces anomalous keff deviations, offering a more robust approach to solving K‑eigenvalue problems with PINNs.

Physics-Informed Error Field Learning (PIEFL) is a post‑training optimization framework for Physics‑Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). After a primary network reaches satisfactory accuracy, PIEFL introduces an auxiliary error network that learns the discrepancy between the current approximation and the exact solution by deriving error control equations under physical constraints. The learned error correction is then combined with the primary prediction, improving solution accuracy without modifying the primary network architecture and focusing computational resources on correcting existing prediction errors.
