arXiv:2605.30910v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are a common class of machine learning-based partial differential equation (PDE) solvers which train a network to represent a solution by minimizing a residual loss that encodes the PDE. Despite their successes, they are known to fail on certain simple equations, converging to an incorrect solution despite low loss. These failure modes have garnered significant attention in the literature over the past several years, motivating both architectural and optimization based solutions. By directly visualizing th
This paper addresses a known and persistent limitation of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), which are a significant area of research in AI for scientific computing.
Understanding and mitigating failure modes in PINNs is crucial for their wider adoption and reliable application in sensitive scientific and engineering domains.
This research provides deeper insight into the fundamental reasons for PINN failures, potentially leading to more robust and accurate AI models for solving PDEs.
