用改进的洛伦兹激活函数加速求解动态密度泛函理论中的非局域方程
A Physics-Informed Neural Network with a Modified Lorentzian Activation for Nonlocal Gradient-Flow Equations in Dynamic Density Functional Theory

- 引入近似线性且随输入增大衰减的改进洛伦兹激活函数
- 在1维和2维测试中实现快速收敛,误差低于0.05且能量单调下降
- 适合需要物理一致性约束的软物质系统模拟研究者
我们为动态密度泛函理论(DDFT)中的非局域偏微分方程开发了一种物理信息神经网络(PINN)框架。这类方程因非线性、非局域相互作用项及梯度流结构,导致标准PINN方法收敛慢、优化困难。本文改进了PINN方法,提出两个关键组件:一种修改的洛伦兹型激活函数,对小输入近似线性,随输入幅值增大趋向零;以及预计算的离散算子,用于高效评估训练过程中的非局域卷积项。在1维和2维空间的四个例子上进行了测试,前例已知精确稳态解,其余采用连续与间断伽辽金有限元法生成参考解。通过$L^1$、$L^2$、$L^ty$误差、质量守恒和自由能耗散性评估精度与物理解释一致性。结果表明,新激活函数相比标准$ anh$函数显著加速收敛,整体框架与参考解高度一致,并正确捕捉梯度流行为,验证了该方法求解DDFT中非局域梯度流方程的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We develop a physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework for nonlocal partial differential equations arising in dynamic density functional theory (DDFT). Such equations are challenging for standard PINN methods because they involve nonlinearities, nonlocal interaction terms, and an underlying gradient-flow structure, often leading to slow convergence and difficult optimization. We adapt the PINN methodology to DDFT gradient-flow equations and introduce two computational components: a modified Lorentzian activation function that behaves approximately linearly for small inputs and decays toward zero as the input magnitude increases, and a precomputed discrete operator for evaluating the nonlocal convolution term efficiently during training. The method is tested on four examples in one and two space dimensions. In the first example, the exact stationary solution is known, while in the remaining cases the neural-network approximations are validated against reference solutions computed using continuous and discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretizations. Accuracy and physical consistency are assessed through $L^1$, $L^2$, and $L^\infty$ errors, together with mass conservation and free-energy dissipation. The results show that the proposed activation function accelerates convergence relative to the standard $\tanh$ function, while the overall framework maintains good agreement with the reference solutions and captures the expected gradient-flow behaviour. These findings demonstrate the potential of the proposed PINN framework for solving nonlocal gradient-flow equations arising in DDFT.
