• Abstract: Poisson's equation plays an important role in modeling many physical systems. In electrostatic self-consistent low-temperature plasma (LTP) simulations, Poisson's equation is solved at each simulation time step, which can amount to a significant computational cost for the entire simulation. In this paper, we describe the development of a generic machine-learned Poisson solver specifically designed for the requirements of LTP simulations in complex 2D reactor geometries on structured Cartesian grids. Here, the reactor geometries can consist of inner electrodes and dielectric materials as often found in LTP simulations. The approach leverages a hybrid CNN-transformer network architecture in combination with a weighted multiterm loss function. We train the network using highly-randomized synthetic data to ensure the generalizability of the learned solver to unseen reactor geometries. The results demonstrate that the learned solver is able to produce quantitatively and qualitatively accurate solutions. Furthermore, it generalizes well on new reactor geometries such as reference geometries found in the literature. To increase the numerical accuracy of the solutions required in LTP simulations, we employ a conventional iterative solver to refine the raw predictions, especially to recover the high-frequency features not resolved by the initial prediction. With this, the proposed learned Poisson solver provides the required accuracy and is potentially faster than a pure GPU-based conventional iterative solver. This opens up new possibilities for developing a generic and high-performing learned Poisson solver for LTP systems in complex geometries.

  Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as an influential technology, merging the swift and automated capabilities of machine learning with the precision and dependability of simulations grounded in theoretical physics.

We propose a domain knowledge-based modifications to the PINN architecture ensuring its correct behavior.

  We introduce probabilistic unrolling, a method that combines Monte Carlo sampling with iterative linear solvers to circumvent matrix inversions. Our theoretical analyses reveal that unrolling and backpropagation through the iterations of the solver can accelerate gradient estimation for maximum likelihood estimation. In experiments on simulated and real data, we demonstrate that probabilistic unrolling learns latent Gaussian models up to an order of magnitude faster than gradient EM, with minimal losses in model performance.
