EVENTO
Interplay of Neural Networks and Multiscale Numerical Methods
Tipo de evento: Defesa de Tese de Doutorado
The numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) with multiscale behavior remains a challenge in several scientific areas. Methods based on local decomposition, such as the Multiscale Hybrid-Mixed (MHM) method, offer a robust strategy. In parallel, there is a growing movement toward studying deep learning techniques for solving PDEs. When exploring approaches such as Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), promising results were observed for reactionadvectiondiffusion equations with boundary layers, especially when physical parameters are incorporated as input variables. However, these models still exhibit limitations for problems with strong oscillations in smallregions. Thus, this thesis proposes a hybrid framework that combines PINNs with the MHM method, approximating multiscale basis functions through models that can adapt to the structure of each local subdomain. Experiments withPoisson and Helmholtz problems demonstrate that PINNs can accurately approximate these basis functions. Even so, the limitations of PINNs prevented a full exploration of the multiscale structures of the method, such as the face partitioning characteristic of MHM. To advance further, a DeepONet-based architecture is proposed, whose ability to learn operators and generalize to different mesh resolutions without retraining proved particularly advantageous when used together with MHM. Results for elliptic and transient problems indicate that the learned operators preserve the expected multiscale behavior and the convergence properties of the original MHM method.
