Adjoint Method versus Physics-Informed Neural Networks in PDE-Constrained Inverse Problems

Zhen Zhang, Alessandro Alla, George Em Karniadakis

Inverse problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) are central to computational mechanics and are commonly solved by adjoint-based optimization, while physics-infor…

PINNs in PDE Constrained Optimal Control Problems: Direct vs Indirect Methods

Zhen Zhang, Shanqing Liu, Alessandro Alla +2

We study physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) as numerical tools for the optimal control of semilinear partial differential equations. We first recall the classical direct and…
