arXiv:2609.00789v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is a well-known second-order method for rapid convergence and strong robustness when training small- to medium-s...
The paper introduces an Adaptive Hybrid Subspace Levenberg–Marquardt (HSLM) algorithm that tackles large‑scale nonlinear least‑squares problems by building a low‑dimensional subspace from gradient, memory, Krylov‑subspace, and randomized curvature data. It employs a deterministic adequacy monitor to adaptively enrich the subspace and decouples step acceptance from damping adjustment, using Armijo backtracking for step length and a ratio of actual to predicted reduction for damping updates. The authors prove global convergence to stationarity and local linear and superlinear convergence, and demonstrate that HSLM matches the convergence of classical and Krylov‑subspace LM while significantly reducing per‑iteration cost, especially as the parameter dimension increases.
The paper introduces Linearized Subspace Refinement (LSR), a post‑training framework that uses the local linearized model of a trained neural network to compute a low‑dimensional correction via a reduced least‑squares problem. LSR is architecture‑agnostic and improves accuracy across tasks such as function approximation, operator learning, physics‑informed fine‑tuning, and noisy inverse problems, often achieving order‑of‑magnitude error reductions. The method reveals that standard training can leave significant accuracy plateaus due to numerical ill‑conditioning, and it offers a subspace rank that balances correction strength, stability, and noise sensitivity.

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.
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.
