Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine: A Backpropagation-Free Neural Network with Fast Training for Nonlinear Differential Equations

The paper introduces the Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine (PI‑SCM), a backpropagation‑free neural network designed for solving nonlinear differential equations. By analytically evaluating local Jacobians, PI‑SCM linearizes the physical loss, enabling optimal weight determination through generalized linear least squares and avoiding iterative nonlinear optimization. The authors present a progressive algorithmic suite—PI‑SC‑I, PI‑SC‑II, and PI‑SC‑III—prove their universal approximation properties, and show through experiments that PI‑SCM achieves high‑fidelity predictions and parameter identification while accelerating training by orders of magnitude compared to standard PINNs.

Nonlinear GENERIC-Embedded Neural Networks (N-GENNs): Learning GENERIC dynamics with non-quadratic dissipation potentials

Nonlinear GENERIC-Embedded Neural Networks (N-GENNs) are a deep learning framework designed to discover evolution equations for systems governed by the nonlinear GENERIC formalism. The method incorporates generalized gradient flows through convex dissipation potentials, allowing it to capture a wider range of thermodynamically consistent dynamics, including those with non‑quadratic dissipation potentials. Thermodynamic structure is enforced by construction, ensuring compliance with the first and second laws, and the approach is validated on a harmonic oscillator with a heat bath, an idealized chemical motor, and a one‑dimensional viscoplastic Perzyna model.
