A new method, PT-symmetric semi-supervised neural networks (PTS-PINN), effectively solves PT-symmetric nonlocal equations. This approach enhances accuracy by treating nonlocal terms as local components and embedding physical information into the loss function.
Area of Science:
- Computational Physics
- Applied Mathematics
- Nonlinear Dynamics
Background:
- Solving PT-symmetric nonlocal equations presents challenges for traditional Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs).
- Nonlocal terms in these equations complicate direct numerical differentiation within neural network architectures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel method, PT-symmetric semi-supervised neural networks (PTS-PINN), for solving PT-symmetric nonlocal equations.
- To enhance the accuracy and applicability of neural network-based solutions for complex nonlinear systems.
Main Methods:
- PTS-PINN reformulates nonlocal terms as coupled local components, avoiding direct differentiation.
- Physical information of PT-symmetry is integrated into the neural network's loss function to improve accuracy.
- The method is tested on various nonlocal equations, including NLS and three-wave interaction systems.
Main Results:
- PTS-PINN demonstrates robust performance in solving forward and inverse problems for diverse PT-symmetric nonlocal equations.
- The method shows exceptional capability in learning large space-time scale rogue waves governed by nonlocal dynamics.
- Numerical experiments confirm the efficacy and improved accuracy of PTS-PINN over standard approaches.
Conclusions:
- PTS-PINN offers a powerful and accurate framework for addressing PT-symmetric nonlocal equations.
- The integration of physical symmetry information into the loss function is a key factor in the method's success.
- This approach opens new avenues for simulating complex phenomena in nonlinear physics and applied mathematics.
