• Abstract: Inverse problems involving partial differential equations (PDEs) with discontinuous coefficients are fundamental challenges in modeling complex spatiotemporal systems with heterogeneous structures and uncertain dynamics. Traditional numerical and machine learning approaches often face limitations in addressing these problems due to high dimensionality, inherent nonlinearity, and discontinuous parameter spaces. In this work, we propose a novel computational framework that synergistically integrates physics-informed deep learning with Bayesian inference for accurate parameter identification in PDEs with jump discontinuities in coefficients. The core innovation of our framework lies in a dual-network architecture employing a gradient-adaptive weighting strategy: a main network approximates PDE solutions while a sub network samples its coefficients. To effectively identify mixture structures in parameter spaces, we employ Markovian dynamics methods to capture hidden state transitions of complex spatiotemporal systems. The framework has applications in reconstruction of solutions and identification of parameter-varying regions. Comprehensive numerical experiments on various PDEs with jump-varying coefficients demonstrate the framework's exceptional adaptability, accuracy, and robustness compared to existing methods. This study provides a generalizable computational approach of parameter identification for PDEs with discontinuous parameter structures, particularly in non-stationary or heterogeneous systems.
