Overcoming the Limits of Finite Difference Method; Physics-Informed Neural Network for Noisy High-Dimensional Heat Diffusion

arXiv:2606.07982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-dimensional transient heat diffusion under noisy boundary conditions exposes a fundamental limitation of classical numerical methods: accuracy degrades catastrophically where physical noise is unavoidable. This paper presents a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) framework as a systematic solution to this problem across one, two, and three spatial dimensions, establishing clear operational regimes that redefine solver selection in noisy thermal systems. Under 20% boundary noise in 3D, PINN sustains approximately 91% accuracy while Finite
The increasing complexity of physical systems and the prevalence of noisy real-world data necessitate advancements in computational modeling, pushing the integration of AI methods like PINNs.
This development represents a significant step towards more accurate and robust simulation of complex physical phenomena, crucial for engineering, scientific discovery, and industrial applications.
The ability to accurately model high-dimensional heat diffusion under noisy conditions using PINNs redefines how challenging thermal systems can be simulated and optimized, especially where classical methods fail.
