Three Ways to Solve Partial Differential Equations with Neural Networks – A Review
share
Neural networks are increasingly used to construct numerical solution methods for partial differential equations. In this expository review, we introduce and contrast three important recent approaches attractive in their simplicity and their suitability for high-dimensional problems: physics-informed neural networks, methods based on the Feynman-Kac formula and the Deep BSDE solver. The article is accompanied by a suite of expository software in the form of Jupyter notebooks in which each basic methodology is explained step by step, allowing for a quick assimilation and experimentation. An extensive bibliography summarizes the state of the art.
