• Abstract: Learning the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) with a neural network (known in the literature as a physics-informed neural network, PINN) is an attractive alternative to traditional solvers due to its elegancy, greater flexibility and the ease of incorporating observed data. However, training PINNs is notoriously difficult in practice. One problem is the existence of multiple simple (but wrong) solutions which are attractive for PINNs when the solution interval is too large. In this paper, we propose to expand the solution interval gradually to make the PINN converge to the correct solution. To find a good schedule for the solution interval expansion, we train an ensemble of PINNs. The idea is that all ensemble members converge to the same solution in the vicinity of observed data (e.g., initial conditions) while they may be pulled towards different wrong solutions farther away from the observations. Therefore, we use the ensemble agreement as the criterion for including new points for computing the loss derived from PDEs. We show experimentally that the proposed method can improve the accuracy of the found solution.

  Approximation of solutions to partial differential equations (PDE) is an important problem in computational science and engineering. We discuss how sampling the hidden weights and biases of the ansatz network from data-agnostic and data-dependent probability distributions allows us to progress on both challenges.

  In this work, we assess the ability of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to solve increasingly-complex coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) We show that PINNs eventually fail to produce correct solutions to these benchmarks as their complexity increases. We identify several reasons why this may be the case, including insufficient network capacity, poor conditioning of the ODEs, and high local curvature, as measured by the Laplacian of the PINN loss.

  Recent work in scientific machine learning has developed so-called physics-informed neural network (PINN) models. We demonstrate that, while existing PINN methodologies can learn good models for relatively trivial problems, they can easily fail to learn relevant physical phenomena even for simple PDEs. We show that these possible failure modes are not due to the lack of expressivity in the NN architecture, but that the PINN's setup makes the loss landscape very hard to optimize.

In FBPINNs neural networks are used to learn these basis functions, which are defined over small, overlapping subdomain problems.
