• Abstract: We study the problem of learning neural network models for Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with parametric uncertainties. Such neural network models capture the solution to the ODE over a given set of parameters, initial conditions, and range of times. Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a promising approach for learning such models that combine data-driven deep learning with symbolic physics models in a principled manner. However, the accuracy of PINNs degrade when they are used to solve an entire family of initial value problems characterized by varying parameters and initial conditions. In this paper, we combine symbolic differentiation and Taylor series methods to propose a class of higher-order models for capturing the solutions to ODEs. These models combine neural networks and symbolic terms: they use higher order Lie derivatives and a Taylor series expansion obtained symbolically, with the remainder term modeled as a neural network. The key insight is that the remainder term can itself be modeled as a solution to a first-order ODE. We show how the use of these higher order PINNs can improve accuracy using interesting, but challenging ODE benchmarks. We also show that the resulting model can be quite useful for situations such as controlling uncertain physical systems modeled as ODEs.

  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.

• Learning Neural Constitutive Laws From Motion Observations for Generalizable PDE Dynamics [97.38308257547186]
  Many NN approaches learn an end-to-end model that implicitly models both the governing PDE and material models. We argue that the governing PDEs are often well-known and should be explicitly enforced rather than learned. We introduce a new framework termed "Neural Constitutive Laws" (NCLaw) which utilizes a network architecture that strictly guarantees standard priors.

  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 learn the right-hand-side (SRH) of an ODE by adding the outputs of two NN together where one learns a linear term and the other a nonlinear term. Specifically, we implement this by training a sparse linear convolutional NN to learn the linear term and a dense fully-connected nonlinear NN to learn the nonlinear term.

• 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.
