Improving the accuracy of physics-informed neural networks via last-layer retraining

This paper proposes a post-processing method that significantly improves the accuracy of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) by finding the best approximation in a function space associated with the network, achieving errors four to five orders of magnitude lower than standard PINNs while enabling transfer learning and providing a metric for optimal basis function selection.

Approximation of invariant probability measures for super-linear stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay

This paper proposes an explicit truncated Euler-Maruyama scheme with time and space truncation to approximate the invariant probability measures of super-linear stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay, establishing strong convergence and proving that the numerical invariant measure converges to the exact one in Wasserstein distance with an explicit rate.

Multilevel Training for Kolmogorov Arnold Networks

This paper introduces a multilevel training framework for Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) that leverages their structural equivalence to multichannel MLPs and the properties of spline basis functions to create a properly nested hierarchy of models, resulting in orders-of-magnitude improvements in training accuracy and speed, particularly for physics-informed neural networks.

An efficient and accurate numerical method for computing the ground states of three-dimensional rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates under strongly anisotropic trap

This paper proposes an efficient, spectrally accurate, and memory-economic numerical method combining a preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm with an anisotropic truncated kernel method to compute the complex ground states of three-dimensional rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates under strongly anisotropic traps, successfully addressing challenges like kernel singularities and fast rotation to reveal novel patterns such as bent vortices.

Worst-case LpL_p-approximation of periodic functions using median lattice algorithms

This paper proves that a median lattice algorithm, which aggregates multiple rank-1 lattice sampling rules via componentwise median, achieves high-probability, nearly optimal worst-case LpL_p-approximation rates for multivariate periodic functions in weighted Korobov spaces, with dimension-independent constants for LL_\infty under specific weight summability conditions.

Comparison of Lubrication Theory and Stokes Flow in Corner Geometries with Flow Separation

This paper investigates the sensitivity of the Reynolds lubrication equation to large surface gradients and compares its predictions with Stokes flow solutions in various corner geometries, demonstrating that while pressure drop errors increase with steeper gradients, the recirculation zones observed in Stokes flows do not significantly disrupt bulk flow characteristics.

Stochastic gradient descent based variational inference for infinite-dimensional inverse problems

This paper proposes and theoretically validates two stochastic gradient descent-based variational inference methods for infinite-dimensional inverse problems, utilizing constant-rate iterations with randomization to efficiently sample from posterior distributions and demonstrating their effectiveness through preconditioning and numerical applications to linear and non-linear problems.
