Taming the Loss Landscape of PINNs with Noisy Feynman-Kac Supervision: Operator Preconditioning and Non-Asymptotic Error Bounds
arXiv:2606.00643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) often train slowly or fail to converge on challenging partial differential equations (PDEs), a behavior recently linked to severely ill-conditioned loss landscapes inherited from the underlying differential operator. We study PINNs augmented with a pointwise data-fidelity term, added at a few points in the domain to the standard residual and boundary losses. We show that this supervision term acts as an operator-level preconditioner: for suitable weights, our comparison bounds guarantee a substantially s
This research addresses a fundamental limitation in the practical application of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), which has been a persistent challenge for their adoption in complex scientific and engineering domains.
Improving the convergence and stability of PINNs can significantly accelerate scientific discovery, engineering design, and industrial simulation by making complex PDE solving more accessible and reliable through AI.
The proposed method offers a more robust and efficient way to train PINNs, potentially broadening their applicability to a wider range of challenging problems where traditional methods struggle or are computationally expensive.
