The field of partial differential equations (PDEs) is experiencing a significant shift with the integration of deep learning techniques, enabling the discovery of hidden PDE models and the advancement of physics-informed neural networks. Researchers are exploring innovative methods to solve high-dimensional PDEs, such as the use of backward stochastic differential equations and the development of novel integration schemes. Transfer learning and physics-preserved methods are being proposed to improve the generalizability and accuracy of PDE solvers. Furthermore, the application of PDEs to real-world problems, including traffic dynamics and population forecasting, is demonstrating the potential of these advances to drive meaningful impact. Noteworthy papers include:
- A novel deep learning framework, designed to discover hidden PDE models of traffic network dynamics, which has demonstrated effectiveness in predicting traffic evolution.
- A Stratonovich-based BSDE formulation that eliminates bias issues in existing BSDE-based solvers, achieving competitive results with PINNs.
- A physics-preserved transfer learning method that adaptively corrects domain shift and preserves physical information, showing superior performance and generalizability in solving differential equations.
