Core Concepts
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) can potentially solve Burgers' partial differential equation near finite-time blow-up, but their stability and performance in such scenarios require rigorous theoretical and experimental investigation.
Abstract
The content investigates the ability of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to solve Burgers' partial differential equation (PDE) near finite-time blow-up scenarios.
Key highlights:
PINNs have emerged as a competitive approach for numerically solving PDEs, but their performance near finite-time blow-up solutions has not been adequately studied.
The authors derive new generalization bounds for PINNs solving Burgers' PDE in arbitrary dimensions, including conditions that allow for finite-time blow-up.
For the 1+1-dimensional Burgers' PDE with a known finite-time blow-up solution, the authors demonstrate a strong correlation between the derived theoretical bounds and the experimentally observed test errors, even as the solution approaches the blow-up point.
The authors also test PINNs on a 2+1-dimensional Burgers' PDE with a known finite-time blow-up solution, and observe similar correlations between the bounds and the true risk.
The bounds derived are shown to be "stable" in the sense that the PINN risk being small implies the L2-risk with respect to the true solution is also small, without requiring knowledge of the true solution.
The content provides a rigorous theoretical and experimental investigation into the performance of PINNs in solving PDEs near finite-time blow-up scenarios, which is an important and understudied aspect of PDE solving using neural networks.
