LEARNING WHERE THE PHYSICS IS: PROBABILISTIC ADAPTIVE SAMPLING FOR STIFF PDES
Revolutionizing Stiff PDE Solvers with Adaptive Probabilistic Sampling
Addressing the grand challenge of modeling stiff Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with sharp gradients, this paper introduces a novel probabilistic framework.
Executive Impact: Unleashing Precision in Complex Simulations
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and Physics-Informed Extreme Learning Machines (PIELMs) face limitations in handling stiff PDEs. PINNs suffer from slow training and spectral bias, while PIELMs, though fast, are limited by random initialization. The Gaussian Mixture Model Adaptive PIELM (GMM-PIELM) is proposed to overcome these challenges. It adaptively samples PIELM kernels by learning a probability density function of 'physics locations' using a weighted EM algorithm. This concentrates radial basis function centers in high-error regions like shock fronts and boundary layers, improving hidden-layer conditioning without expensive optimization. Experiments on 1D singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations demonstrate L2 errors up to 7 orders of magnitude lower than baseline RBF-PIELMs, successfully resolving exponentially thin boundary layers while maintaining speed. This method provides a robust alternative for stiff multi-scale physical systems.

1D Convection-Diffusion Equation (v = 10⁻⁴)
The paper successfully applied GMM-PIELM to 1D singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations with diffusion coefficient ν = 10⁻⁴. This canonical benchmark, known for its challenging exponentially thin boundary layers, highlights the method's ability to resolve stiff dynamics. The adaptive sampling allowed the model to focus resources where advective forces dominate diffusive ones, leading to superior accuracy.
