• Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) offer a promising avenue for tackling both forward and inverse problems in partial differential equations (PDEs) by incorporating deep learning with fundamental physics principles. Despite their remarkable empirical success, PINNs have garnered a reputation for their notorious training challenges across a spectrum of PDEs. In this work, we delve into the intricacies of PINN optimization from a neural architecture perspective. Leveraging the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK), our study reveals that Gaussian activations surpass several alternate activations when it comes to effectively training PINNs. Building on insights from numerical linear algebra, we introduce a preconditioned neural architecture, showcasing how such tailored architectures enhance the optimization process. Our theoretical findings are substantiated through rigorous validation against established PDEs within the scientific literature.

  Polynomial neural networks (PNNs) have been shown to be particularly effective at image generation and face recognition, where high-frequency information is critical. Previous studies have revealed that neural networks demonstrate a $textitspectral bias$ towards low-frequency functions, which yields faster learning of low-frequency components during training. Inspired by such studies, we conduct a spectral analysis of the Tangent Kernel (NTK) of PNNs. We find that the $Pi$-Net family, i.e., a recently proposed parametrization of PNNs, speeds up the
