• Abstract summary: We present a methodology combining neural networks with physical principle constraints in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs) The approach allows to train neural networks while respecting the PDEs as a strong constraint in the optimisation as apposed to making them part of the loss function. We demonstrate the method on a complex cardiac cell model problem using deep neural networks.

• Abstract: We present a methodology combining neural networks with physical principle constraints in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs). The approach allows to train neural networks while respecting the PDEs as a strong constraint in the optimisation as apposed to making them part of the loss function. The resulting models are discretised in space by the finite element method (FEM). The methodology applies to both stationary and transient as well as linear/nonlinear PDEs. We describe how the methodology can be implemented as an extension of the existing FEM framework FEniCS and its algorithmic differentiation tool dolfin-adjoint. Through series of examples we demonstrate capabilities of the approach to recover coefficients and missing PDE operators from observations. Further, the proposed method is compared with alternative methodologies, namely, physics informed neural networks and standard PDE-constrained optimisation. Finally, we demonstrate the method on a complex cardiac cell model problem using deep neural networks.

  We develop an ODE based IVP solver which prevents the network from getting ill-conditioned and runs in time linear in the number of parameters. We show that current methods based on this approach suffer from two key issues. First, following the ODE produces an uncontrolled growth in the conditioning of the problem, ultimately leading to unacceptably large numerical errors.

  This strategy can be used to efficiently train neural network surrogate models of partial differential equations. The presented neural bootstrapping method (hereby dubbed NBM) is based on evaluation of the finite discretization residuals of the PDE system. We show NBM is competitive in terms of memory and training speed with other PINN-type frameworks.

Our results show that incorporating hard constraints directly into the NN architecture achieves much lower test error when compared to training on an unconstrained objective.

  We develop a novel approach that can significantly accelerate the training of Physics-Informed Neural Networks. In particular, we parameterize the PDE solution by the Gaussian smoothed model and show that, derived from Stein's Identity, the second-order derivatives can be efficiently calculated without back-propagation. Experimental results show that our proposed method can achieve competitive error compared to standard PINN training but is two orders of magnitude faster.
