PIAT: Physics Informed Adversarial Training for Solving Partial Differential Equations
share
In this paper, we propose the physics informed adversarial training (PIAT) of neural networks for solving nonlinear differential equations (NDE). It is well-known that the standard training of neural networks results in non-smooth functions. Adversarial training (AT) is an established defense mechanism against adversarial attacks, which could also help in making the solution smooth. AT include augmenting the training mini-batch with a perturbation that makes the network output mismatch the desired output adversarially. Unlike formal AT, which relies only on the training data, here we encode the governing physical laws in the form of nonlinear differential equations using automatic differentiation in the adversarial network architecture. We compare PIAT with PINN to indicate the effectiveness of our method in solving NDEs for up to 10 dimensions. Moreover, we propose weight decay and Gaussian smoothing to demonstrate the PIAT advantages. The code repository is available at https://github.com/rohban-lab/PIAT.
