• Abstract: There have been extensive studies on solving differential equations using physics-informed neural networks. While this method has proven advantageous in many cases, a major criticism lies in its lack of analytical error bounds. Therefore, it is less credible than its traditional counterparts, such as the finite difference method. This paper shows that one can mathematically derive explicit error bounds for physics-informed neural networks trained on a class of linear systems of differential equations. More importantly, evaluating such error bounds only requires evaluating the differential equation residual infinity norm over the domain of interest. Our work shows a link between network residuals, which is known and used as loss function, and the absolute error of solution, which is generally unknown. Our approach is semi-phenomonological and independent of knowledge of the actual solution or the complexity or architecture of the network. Using the method of manufactured solution on linear ODEs and system of linear ODEs, we empirically verify the error evaluation algorithm and demonstrate that the actual error strictly lies within our derived bound.

  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.

  We propose a unified framework for learning diverse classes of differential equations (DEs) including all the aforementioned ones. Instead of modelling the dynamics in the time domain, we model it in the Laplace domain, where the history-dependencies and discontinuities in time can be represented as summations of complex exponentials. In the experiments, Neural Laplace shows superior performance in modelling and extrapolating the trajectories of diverse classes of DEs.
