Neural Control of Parametric Solutions for High-dimensional Evolution PDEs
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We develop a novel computational framework to approximate solution operators of evolution partial differential equations (PDEs). By employing a general nonlinear reduced-order model, such as a deep neural network, to approximate the solution of a given PDE, we realize that the evolution of the model parameter is a control problem in the parameter space. Based on this observation, we propose to approximate the solution operator of the PDE by learning the control vector field in the parameter space. From any initial value, this control field can steer the parameter to generate a trajectory such that the corresponding reduced-order model solves the PDE. This allows for substantially reduced computational cost to solve the evolution PDE with arbitrary initial conditions. We also develop comprehensive error analysis for the proposed method when solving a large class of semilinear parabolic PDEs. Numerical experiments on different high-dimensional evolution PDEs with various initial conditions demonstrate the promising results of the proposed method.
