arXiv:2602.07970v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Partial Differential Equations are precise in modelling the physical, biological and graphical phenomena. However, the numerical methods suffer from the curse of dimensionality, high computation costs and domain-specific discretization. We aim to explore pros and cons of different PDE solvers, and apply them to specific scientific simulation problems, including forwarding solution, inverse problems and equations discovery. In particular, we extend the recent CNF (NeurIPS 2023) framework solver to coupled and non-linear settings, together with down-stream applications. The outcomes include implementation of selected methods, self-tuning techniques, evaluation on benchmark problems and a comprehensive survey of neural PDE solvers and scientific simulation applications.

arXiv:2603.01731v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many physical and engineering systems require solving direct problems to predict behavior and inverse problems to determine unknown parameters from measurement. In this work, we study both aspects for systems governed by differential equations, contrasting well-established numerical methods with new AI-based techniques, specifically Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). We first analyze the logistic differential equation, using its closed-form solution to verify numerical schemes and validate PINN performance. We then address the Porous Medium Equation (PME), a nonlinear partial differential equation with no general closed-form solution, building strong solvers of the direct problem and testing techniques for parameter estimation in the inverse problem. Our results suggest that PINNs can closely estimate solutions at competitive computational cost, and thus propose an effective tool for solving both direct and inverse problems for complex systems.
