Random ordinary differential equations (RODEs), i.e. ODEs with random parameters, are often used to model complex dynamics. Most existing methods to identify unknown governing RODEs from observed data often rely on strong prior knowledge. Extracting the governing equations from data with less prior knowledge remains a great challenge. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network, called RODE-Net, to tackle such challenge by fitting a symbolic expression of the differential equation and the distribution of parameters simultaneously. To train the RODE-Net, we first estimate the parameters of the unknown RODE using the symbolic networks cite{long2019pde} by solving a set of deterministic inverse problems based on the measured data, and use a generative adversarial network (GAN) to estimate the true distribution of the RODEs parameters. Then, we use the trained GAN as a regularization to further improve the estimation of the ODEs parameters. The two steps are operated alternatively. Numerical results show that the proposed RODE-Net can well estimate the distribution of model parameters using simulated data and can make reliable predictions. It is worth noting that, GAN serves as a data driven regularization in RODE-Net and is more effective than the $ell_1$ based regularization that is often used in system identifications.

Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) are a promising approach to learn dynamic models from time-series data in science and engineering applications. This work aims at learning Neural ODE for stiff systems, which are usually raised from chemical kinetic modeling in chemical and biological systems. We first show the challenges of learning neural ODE in the classical stiff ODE systems of Robertsons problem and propose techniques to mitigate the challenges associated with scale separations in stiff systems. We then present successful demonstrations in stiff systems of Robertsons problem and an air pollution problem. The demonstrations show that the usage of deep networks with rectified activations, proper scaling of the network outputs as well as loss functions, and stabilized gradient calculations are the key techniques enabling the learning of stiff neural ODE. The success of learning stiff neural ODE opens up possibilities of using neural ODEs in applications with widely varying time-scales, like chemical dynamics in energy conversion, environmental engineering, and the life sciences.
This paper proposes Friedrichs learning as a novel deep learning methodology that can learn the weak solutions of PDEs via a minmax formulation, which transforms the PDE problem into a minimax optimization problem to identify weak solutions. The name Friedrichs learning is for highlighting the close relationship between our learning strategy and Friedrichs theory on symmetric systems of PDEs. The weak solution and the test function in the weak formulation are parameterized as deep neural networks in a mesh-free manner, which are alternately updated to approach the optimal solution networks approximating the weak solution and the optimal test function, respectively. Extensive numerical results indicate that our mesh-free method can provide reasonably good solutions to a wide range of PDEs defined on regular and irregular domains in various dimensions, where classical numerical methods such as finite difference methods and finite element methods may be tedious or difficult to be applied.
Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) is a method of system discovery that has been shown to successfully recover governing dynamical systems from data (Brunton et al., PNAS, 16; Rudy et al., Sci. Adv. 17). Recently, several groups have independently discovered that the weak formulation provides orders of magnitude better robustness to noise. Here we extend our Weak SINDy (WSINDy) framework introduced in (arXiv:2005.04339) to the setting of partial differential equations (PDEs). The elimination of pointwise derivative approximations via the weak form enables effective machine-precision recovery of model coefficients from noise-free data (i.e. below the tolerance of the simulation scheme) as well as robust identification of PDEs in the large noise regime (with signal-to-noise ratio approaching one in many well-known cases). This is accomplished by discretizing a convolutional weak form of the PDE and exploiting separability of test functions for efficient model identification using the Fast Fourier Transform. The resulting WSINDy algorithm for PDEs has a worst-case computational complexity of $mathcal{O}(N^{D+1}log(N))$ for datasets with $N$ points in each of $D+1$ dimensions (i.e. $mathcal{O}(log(N))$ operations per datapoint). Furthermore, our Fourier-based implementation reveals a connection between robustness to noise and the spectra of test functions, which we utilize in an textit{a priori} selection algorithm for test functions. Finally, we introduce a learning algorithm for the threshold in sequential-thresholding least-squares (STLS) that enables model identification from large libraries, and we utilize scale-invariance at the continuum level to identify PDEs from poorly-scaled datasets. We demonstrate WSINDys robustness, speed and accuracy on several challenging PDEs.
In this paper, we propose a model-operator-data network (MOD-Net) for solving PDEs. A MOD-Net is driven by a model to solve PDEs based on operator representation with regularization from data. In this work, we use a deep neural network to parameterize the Greens function. The empirical risk consists of the mean square of the governing equation, boundary conditions, and a few labels, which are numerically computed by traditional schemes on coarse grid points with cheap computation cost. With only the labeled dataset or only the model constraints, it is insufficient to accurately train a MOD-Net for complicate problems. Intuitively, the labeled dataset works as a regularization in addition to the model constraints. The MOD-Net is much efficient than original neural operator because the MOD-Net also uses the information of governing equation and the boundary conditions of the PDE rather than purely the expensive labels. Since the MOD-Net learns the Greens function of a PDE, it solves a type of PDEs but not a specific case. We numerically show MOD-Net is very efficient in solving Poisson equation and one-dimensional Boltzmann equation. For non-linear PDEs, where the concept of the Greens function does not apply, the non-linear MOD-Net can be similarly used as an ansatz for solving non-linear PDEs.
We present a neural network-based method for solving linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, by combining the ideas of extreme learning machines (ELM), domain decomposition and local neural networks. The field solution on each sub-domain is represented by a local feed-forward neural network, and $C^k$ continuity is imposed on the sub-domain boundaries. Each local neural network consists of a small number of hidden layers, while its last hidden layer can be wide. The weight/bias coefficients in all hidden layers of the local neural networks are pre-set to random values and are fixed, and only the weight coefficients in the output layers are training parameters. The overall neural network is trained by a linear or nonlinear least squares computation, not by the back-propagation type algorithms. We introduce a block time-marching scheme together with the presented method for long-time dynamic simulations. The current method exhibits a clear sense of convergence with respect to the degrees of freedom in the neural network. Its numerical errors typically decrease exponentially or nearly exponentially as the number of degrees of freedom increases. Extensive numerical experiments have been performed to demonstrate the computational performance of the presented method. We compare the current method with the deep Galerkin method (DGM) and the physics-informed neural network (PINN) in terms of the accuracy and computational cost. The current method exhibits a clear superiority, with its numerical errors and network training time considerably smaller (typically by orders of magnitude) than those of DGM and PINN. We also compare the current method with the classical finite element method (FEM). The computational performance of the current method is on par with, and oftentimes exceeds, the FEM performance.
