When Does Frequency Decomposition Benefit Physics-Informed Neural Networks? A Preliminary Ablation Study
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →The paper investigates when frequency decomposition aids Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) by introducing a dual‑branch, spectrally‑gated architecture (DBSG‑PINN) that separates low‑ and high‑frequency components. Experiments on five one‑dimensional PDE benchmarks show that frequency decomposition significantly reduces error—up to 59.2% on a multimodal wave problem—when the target solution is spectrally complex, but offers little improvement on smoother problems and can even worsen performance on a simple 1D wave benchmark. The adaptive gate’s effectiveness scales with the spectral richness of the solution, suggesting it exploits frequency structure rather than adding noise.
