TL;DR
This paper extends Local Randomized Neural Networks with Discontinuous Galerkin (LRNN-DG) to nonlinear PDEs, applying a space-time DG framework to the KdV-type and Burgers equations. It introduces two coupling schemes, LRNN-DG and LRNN-$C^1$DG, to integrate local RNNs across space-time subdomains, and augments the approach with adaptive domain decomposition and a characteristic-direction mesh strategy. The methods couple randomized neural bases with least-squares training for the output layer and Newton/Picard iterations for nonlinear terms, achieving high accuracy with relatively few degrees of freedom. Results on KdV solitons, double soliton collisions, and Burgers equations show robust performance, with adaptive and direction-aware meshes significantly improving efficiency and accuracy, suggesting strong potential for time-dependent nonlinear PDEs in multi-physics contexts.
Abstract
The Local Randomized Neural Networks with Discontinuous Galerkin (LRNN-DG) methods, introduced in [42], were originally designed for solving linear partial differential equations. In this paper, we extend the LRNN-DG methods to solve nonlinear PDEs, specifically the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and the Burgers equation, utilizing a space-time approach. Additionally, we introduce adaptive domain decomposition and a characteristic direction approach to enhance the efficiency of the proposed methods. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed methods achieve high accuracy with fewer degrees of freedom, additionally, adaptive domain decomposition and a characteristic direction approach significantly improve computational efficiency.
