Fourier Feature Pyramids for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

arXiv:2605.24278v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present an improved neural field architecture for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). Current physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a flexible framework for solving PDEs, but they struggle to achieve highly accurate solutions and require computation that scales poorly with parameter count. Our model, which we call beignet (Bandlimited Embedding with Interpolated Grid Network), replaces the random Fourier feature embedding used by existing PINN models with a trainable multi-resolution Fourier feature pyramid.

Why this matters
Why now

The paper addresses a core limitation of current Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) – their computational cost and accuracy issues – just as their application space is expanding.

Why it’s important

Improving the accuracy and efficiency of PINNs could significantly accelerate scientific discovery, engineering design, and the development of more robust AI systems for complex physical phenomena.

What changes

The 'beignet' architecture offers a potentially more scalable and accurate method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), which underlie many scientific and engineering problems.
