Error Estimates of Residual Minimization Using Neural Networks for Linear PDES

We propose an abstract framework for analyzing the convergence of least-squares methods based on residual minimization when feasible solutions are neural networks. With the norm relations and compactness arguments, we derive error estimates for both continuous and discrete formulations of residual minimization in strong and weak forms. The formulations cover recently developed physicsinformed neural networks based on strong and variational formulations.

A Mixed Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Linear Elasticity with Strongly Imposed Symmetry

In this paper, we study a mixed discontinuous Galerkin (MDG) method to solve linear elasticity problem with arbitrary order discontinuous finite element spaces in d -dimension ( \(d=2,3\) ). This method uses polynomials of degree \(k+1\) for the stress and of degree k for the displacement ( \(k\ge 0\) ). The mixed DG scheme is proved to be well-posed under proper norms. Specifically, we prove that, for any \(k \ge 0\) , the \(H(\mathrm{div})\) -like error estimate for the stress and \(L^2\) error estimate for the displacement are optimal. We further establish the optimal \(L^2\) error estimate for the stress provided that the \({\mathcal {P}}_{k+2}-{\mathcal {P}}_{k+1}^{-1}\) Stokes pair is stable and \(k \ge d\) . Finally, we also provide numerical results of MDG showing that the orders of convergence are actually sharp.

Gaussian process regression constrained by boundary value problems

We develop a framework for Gaussian processes regression constrained by boundary value problems. The framework may be applied to infer the solution of a well-posed boundary value problem with a known second-order differential operator and boundary conditions, but for which only scattered observations of the source term are available. Scattered observations of the solution may also be used in the regression. The framework combines co-kriging with the linear transformation of a Gaussian process together with the use of kernels given by spectral expansions in eigenfunctions of the boundary value problem. Furthermore, it benefits from a reduced-rank property of covariance matrices. We demonstrate that the resulting framework yields more accurate and stable solution inference as compared to physics-informed Gaussian process regression without boundary condition constraints.
