However, PINNs face training difficulties for evolutionary PDEs, particularly for dynamical systems whose solutions exhibit multi-scale or turbulent behavior over time. The reason is that PINNs may violate the temporal causality property since all the temporal features in the PINNs loss are trained simultaneously. This paper proposes to use implicit time differencing schemes to enforce temporal causality, and use transfer learning to sequentially update the PINNs in space as surrogates for PDE solutions in different time frames. The evolving PINNs are better able to capture the varying complexities of the evolutionary equations, while only requiring minor updates between adjacent time frames. Our method is theoretically proven to be convergent if the time step is small and each PINN in different time frames is well-trained. In addition, we provide state-of-the-art (SOTA) numerical results for a variety of benchmarks for which existing PINNs formulations may fail or be inefficient. We demonstrate that the proposed method improves the accuracy of PINNs approximation for evolutionary PDEs and improves efficiency by a factor of 4–40x. All code and data can be found in the supplemental materials. ",

Due to the inherent universal approximation capability of neural networks and the exponential growth of data and computational resources, neural network PDE solvers have recently gained popularity Raissi et al.

PINNs have been utilized effectively to solve PDE problems such as the Poisson equation, Burgers equation, and Navier-Stokes equation Raissi et al. (2019); Lu et al.

        "text": "When we apply neural networks to solve evolutionary PDEs, the most ubiquitously used PINN implementation at present is the meshless, continuous-time PINN in Raissi et al. (2019). However, training (i.e., optimization) is still the primary challenge when employing this approach, particularly for dynamical systems whose solutions exhibit strong non-linearity, multi-scale features, and high sensitivity to initial conditions, such as the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and the Navier-Stokes equations in the turbulent regime. Recently Wang et al. Wang et al. (2022a) revealed that continuoustime PINNs can violate the so-called temporal causality property, and are therefore prone to converge to incorrect solutions. Temporal causality requires that models should be sufficiently trained at time $t$ before approximating the solution at the later time $t + \\Delta t$ , while continuous-time PINNs are trained for all time $t$ simultaneously. To enhance the temporal causality in the training process, they proposed a simple re-formulation of PINNs loss functions as shown in equation 1, i.e., a clever weighting technique that is inversely exponentially proportional to the magnitude of cumulative residual losses from prior times. This casual PINN method has been demonstrated to be effective for some difficult problems. However their method is sensitive to the new causality hyper-parameter $\\epsilon$ , and the training time is substantially longer than vanilla PINNs. ",

Our technique relies on two key elements: (a) using discrete-time PINNs instead of continuous-time PINNs to satisfy the principle of temporal causality, thereby making the training process stable and accurate; and (b) utilizing transfer learning to accelerate PINN training in later time frames. The time-differencing schemes such as forward/backward Euler, Crank-Nicolson, and Runge-Kutta enable solutions to be learned from earlier times to later times, therefore satisfying the temporal causality principle. Moreover, the errors from time differencing can be theoretically controlled Ascher (2008), making the training procedure stable and accurate. We accelerate PINN training naturally by initializing the PINN parameters at the next time frame with the trained PINN parameters at the current time frame. In the following sections, we will show that our transfer learning enhanced discrete physics-informed neural networks (TL-DPINN) method is theoretically and numerically stable, accurate, and efficient.

However, only an implicit Runge-Kutta scheme with $q = 1 0 0$ stages and a single large time step $\\Delta t = 0 . 8$ are computed. Low-order methods cannot retain their predictive accuracy for large time steps. In our research, we demonstrate the capability of discrete PINNs both theoretically and experimentally, indicating that robust low-order implicit Runge-Kutta combined with PINN can obtain high-precision solutions with multiple smallsized time steps. Jagtap and Karniadakis Jagtap & Karniadakis (2021) propose a generalized domain decomposition framework that allows for multiple sub-networks over different subdomains to be stitched together and trained in parallel. However, it is not causal and has the same training issues as conventional PINNs. The implicit Runge-Kutta scheme combined with PINN has been used to solve simple ODE systems Stiasny et al.

Wight & Zhao (2021) propose an adaptive time-sampling strategy to learn solutions from the previous small time domain to the whole time domain. However, collocation points are costly to add, and the computational cost rises. This time marching strategy has been enhanced further in Krishnapriyan et al. (2021); Mattey & Ghosh (2022); McClenny & Braga-Neto (2023). Nevertheless, causality is only enforced on the scale of the time slabs and not inside each time slab, thus the convergence can not be theoretically guaranteed. A unified framework for causal sweeping strategies for PINNs is summarized in Penwarden et al. (2023). Wang et al. Wang et al. (2022a) introduced a simple causal weight in the form of equation 1 to naturally match the principle of temporal causality with high precision. However, this significantly increased computational costs and did not guarantee convergence Penwarden et al. (2023). Our methods can attain the same level of precision, are theoretically convergent, and are 4 to 40 times quicker. ",

The discrete PINNs were thought to be time-consuming and seldom applied in the PINNs literature. We contribute to the PINN community by rediscovering the good performance of the discrete PINNs applied to solve evolutionary PDEs, both theoretically and numerically. Our method first employs a classical numerical implicit time differencing scheme to produce a series of stable propagation equations in space, and then applies PINN approximation to sequentially solve. Transfer learning is used to reduce computational costs while maintaining precision. We demonstrate the convergence property, accuracy, and computational effectiveness of our TL-DPINN method both theoretically and numerically. Our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art results among different PINN frameworks while significantly reducing the computational cost. ",

The total parameters and computation of 200 discrete PINNs and the computation on the loss calculation are about the same with a single continuous PINN. In this configuration, we can sure that the comparison between our TL-DPINNs and other five baselines is fair, showing the discrete PINNs are efficient for practical applications. ",
