TL;DR

The proposed ARH-PINNs can accurately resolve large-gradient fields such as shock waves, while effectively suppressing non-physical oscillations and retaining low numerical dissipation.

Abstract

To address the issues of insufficient accuracy and susceptibility to numerical oscillations in traditional physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) when solving large-gradient problems of hyperbolic conservation laws, this paper proposes an adaptive regularized hybrid PINN (ARH-PINN) to accurately capture large-gradient fields such as shock waves and suppress numerical oscillations. The ARH-PINNs method introduces a novel neural network architecture that integrates a Fourier embedding layer, a multi-layer perceptron, and a radial basis function layer to effectively capture both the global features and local structures of solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws. To improve the solution accuracy of large-gradient fields such as shock waves and suppress numerical oscillations, we propose an adaptive regularization strategy based on a compression indicator and a sharpness indicator and further conduct a sensitivity analysis of the associated parameters. To balance convergence speed and numerical stability, we incorporate input symmetric normalization and learning rate annealing into the training pipeline. Verified through extensive numerical examples on classical one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) conservation laws, the proposed ARH-PINNs can accurately resolve large-gradient fields such as shock waves, while effectively suppressing non-physical oscillations and retaining low numerical dissipation.

Tikhonov-Regularized Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Terminal-State Distributed Optimal Control of Parabolic Partial Differential Equations

In this study, we propose a Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) framework that incorporates Tikhonov regularization to solve terminal-state tracking optimal control constrained by parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). This problem is inherently ill-posed, as infinitely many distributed controls may drive the system to the same desired state, so the regularization guides the optimizer toward the minimum-energy control, restoring numerical stability and yielding a smooth, physically meaningful solution. On the theoretical side, we establish a consistency result showing that PINNs minimizers nearly attain the continuous regularized objective under residual and quadrature approximation assumptions, and a novel error estimate that bounds the deviation of the learned control from the minimum-energy solution in terms of the PINNs training residuals and the regularization parameter. Numerical experiments on the linear heat equation and the nonlinear Burgers'equation demonstrate that the regularized PINNs framework accurately achieves the target terminal state while producing controls with significantly lower energy and smoother profiles compared to unregularized baselines.
