用可训练的样条直接表示物理方程解,兼顾精度与效率。
Trainable Spline Representations for Physics-Informed Learning

- 用张量积B样条参数化未知场,控制点可训练
- 在多个基准问题上表现稳定,优于传统神经网络方法
- 适合需要局部性、参数高效和显式平滑控制的场景
本文提出物理信息样条(PI-Splines),一种基于样条的结构化架构,用于物理信息学习。不同于用神经网络表示微分方程解,PI-Splines通过可训练控制系数的张量积B样条展开直接参数化未知场。该方法保持了物理信息神经网络的残差训练范式,同时具备紧支集、显式平滑控制、解析导数及参数的直观几何解释。当与样条表示兼容时,可通过固定边界控制点实现强边界条件施加。在多个递增难度的基准问题上评估,并与标准物理信息框架在相同控制方程、配点集、损失项和优化流程下对比,以隔离近似架构的影响。数值实验表明,PI-Splines在结构化表示、局部性和参数效率场景中提供了有竞争力且稳定的替代方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This work introduces Physics-Informed Splines (PI-Splines), a structured spline-based architecture for physics-informed learning. Instead of representing the solution of a differential equation with a neural network, PI-Splines directly parametrize the unknown field through a tensor-product B-spline expansion with trainable control coefficients. This formulation preserves the residual-based training paradigm of Physics-Informed Neural Networks while providing compact support, explicit smoothness control, analytical derivatives, and a direct geometric interpretation of the trainable parameters. When compatible with the spline representation, boundary conditions can be imposed strongly by fixing suitable boundary control coefficients. The proposed method is evaluated on several benchmark problems of increasing difficulty and compared with standard physics-informed frameworks under matched governing equations, collocation sets, loss terms, and optimization procedures, so as to isolate the effect of the approximation architecture. Numerical experiments show that PI-Splines provide a competitive and stable alternative to neural physics-informed architectures, particularly in settings where structured representations, locality, and parameter efficiency are desirable.
