arXiv:2605.29688v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents the Tensor Product Network (TPNet), a novel neural architecture for efficient and accurate function approximation and PDE solving. The core of the proposal involves constructing the solution explicitly as a linear combination of basis functions integrated into the network, with coefficients determined by a direct least-squares solve, thereby bypassing traditional gradient-based training. The key methodological contribution include: (1) an efficient tensor-product scheme that generates multi-dimensional basis functions from com
The continuous drive for more efficient and accurate computational methods in scientific machine learning pushes research towards novel neural network architectures beyond traditional gradient-based training.
This development could significantly accelerate the solving of complex partial differential equations, crucial for scientific research, engineering, and various AI applications, by offering a bypass to computationally intensive gradient descent.
The explicit construction of solutions and direct least-squares fitting in TPNet could reduce training time and computational resources for PDE solving, potentially democratizing access to high-fidelity simulations.
