Title: Solutions to Elliptic and Parabolic Problems via Finite Difference Based Unsupervised Small Linear Convolutional Neural Networks
(Submitted on 1 Nov 2023 (v1), last revised 22 Apr 2024 (this version, v2))
Abstract: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in leveraging deep learning and neural networks to address scientific problems, particularly in solving partial differential equations (PDEs). However, many neural network-based methods like PINNs rely on auto differentiation and sampling collocation points, leading to a lack of interpretability and lower accuracy than traditional numerical methods. As a result, we propose a fully unsupervised approach, requiring no training data, to estimate finite difference solutions for PDEs directly via small linear convolutional neural networks. Our proposed approach uses substantially fewer parameters than similar finite difference-based approaches while also demonstrating comparable accuracy to the true solution for several selected elliptic and parabolic problems compared to the finite difference method.
