• Abstract summary: We consider a mesh-based approach for training a neural network to produce field predictions of solutions to PDEs. We use a weighted Galerkin loss function based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) on a parametric elliptic PDE. We prove theoretically, and illustrate with experiments, convergence results analogous to mesh convergence analysis deployed in finite element solutions to PDEs.

• Abstract: We consider a mesh-based approach for training a neural network to produce field predictions of solutions to parametric partial differential equations (PDEs). This approach contrasts current approaches for ``neural PDE solvers'' that employ collocation-based methods to make point-wise predictions of solutions to PDEs. This approach has the advantage of naturally enforcing different boundary conditions as well as ease of invoking well-developed PDE theory -- including analysis of numerical stability and convergence -- to obtain capacity bounds for our proposed neural networks in discretized domains. We explore our mesh-based strategy, called DiffNet, using a weighted Galerkin loss function based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) on a parametric elliptic PDE. The weighted Galerkin loss (FEM loss) is similar to an energy functional that produces improved solutions, satisfies \textit{a priori} mesh convergence, and can model Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. We prove theoretically, and illustrate with experiments, convergence results analogous to mesh convergence analysis deployed in finite element solutions to PDEs. These results suggest that a mesh-based neural network approach serves as a promising approach for solving parametric PDEs.

  Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) appear in many disciplines to model the evolution of various mathematical objects. It is often necessary to compute the solutions or a function of the solutions to a parametric PDE in multiple scenarios corresponding to different parameters of this PDE. We propose a framework for finding solutions to parabolic PDEs across different scenarios by meta-learning an underlying base.

  We propose a loss function that informs the network about Lie point symmetries in the same way that PINN models try to enforce the underlying PDE through a loss function. Our symmetry loss ensures that the infinitesimal generators of the Lie group conserve the PDE solutions. Empirical evaluations indicate that the inductive bias introduced by the Lie point symmetries of the PDEs greatly boosts the sample efficiency of PINNs.

  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.
