• Abstract: The use of deep learning methods in scientific computing represents a potential paradigm shift in engineering problem solving. One of the most prominent developments is Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), in which neural networks are trained to satisfy partial differential equations (PDEs). While this method shows promise, the standard version has been shown to struggle in accurately predicting the dynamic behavior of time-dependent problems. To address this challenge, methods have been proposed that decompose the time domain into multiple segments, employing a distinct neural network in each segment and directly incorporating continuity between them in the loss function of the minimization problem. In this work we introduce a method to exactly enforce continuity between successive time segments via a solution ansatz. This hard constrained sequential PINN (HCS-PINN) method is simple to implement and eliminates the need for any loss terms associated with temporal continuity. The method is tested for a number of benchmark problems involving both linear and non-linear PDEs. Examples include various first order time dependent problems in which traditional PINNs struggle, namely advection, Allen-Cahn, and Korteweg-de Vries equations. Furthermore, second and third order time-dependent problems are demonstrated via wave and Jerky dynamics examples, respectively. Notably, the Jerky dynamics problem is chaotic, making the problem especially sensitive to temporal accuracy. The numerical experiments conducted with the proposed method demonstrated superior convergence and accuracy over both traditional PINNs and the soft-constrained counterparts.

  We propose the General-Kindred Physics-Informed Neural Network (GKPINN) for solving Singular Perturbation Differential Equations (SPDEs) This approach utilizes prior knowledge of the boundary layer from the equation and establishes a novel network to assist PINN in approxing the boundary layer. The research findings underscore the exceptional performance of our novel approach, GKPINN, which delivers a remarkable enhancement in reducing the $L$ error by two to four orders of magnitude compared to the established PINN methodology.

  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.

  Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are a new tool for solving boundary value problems. Recent investigations have shown that when designing loss functions for many engineering problems, using first-order derivatives and combining equations from both strong and weak forms can lead to much better accuracy. In this work, we propose applying the mixed formulation to solve multi-physical problems, specifically a stationary thermo-mechanically coupled system of equations.

  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.

• Characterizing possible failure modes in physics-informed neural networks [55.83255669840384]
  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.
