Specifying and Solving PDESystems with Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs)

In this example, we will solve a Poisson equation:

\[∂^2_x u(x, y) + ∂^2_y u(x, y) = - \sin(\pi x) \sin(\pi y) \, ,\]

with the boundary conditions:

\[\begin{align*} u(0, y) &= 0 \, ,\\ u(1, y) &= 0 \, ,\\ u(x, 0) &= 0 \, ,\\ u(x, 1) &= 0 \, , \end{align*}\]

on the space domain:

\[x \in [0, 1] \, , \ y \in [0, 1] \, ,\]

Using physics-informed neural networks.

Detailed Description

The ModelingToolkit PDE interface for this example looks like this:

using NeuralPDE, Lux, ModelingToolkit, Optimization, OptimizationOptimJL
using DomainSets: Interval
using IntervalSets: leftendpoint, rightendpoint
using Plots

@parameters x y
@variables u(..)
Dxx = Differential(x)^2
Dyy = Differential(y)^2

# 2D PDE
eq = Dxx(u(x, y)) + Dyy(u(x, y)) ~ -sin(pi * x) * sin(pi * y)

# Boundary conditions
bcs = [u(0, y) ~ 0.0, u(1, y) ~ 0.0,
    u(x, 0) ~ 0.0, u(x, 1) ~ 0.0]
# Space domains
domains = [x ∈ Interval(0.0, 1.0),
    y ∈ Interval(0.0, 1.0)]

2-element Vector{Symbolics.VarDomainPairing}:
 Symbolics.VarDomainPairing(x, 0.0 .. 1.0)
 Symbolics.VarDomainPairing(y, 0.0 .. 1.0)

Here, we define the neural network, where the input of NN equals the number of dimensions and output equals the number of equations in the system.

# Neural network
dim = 2 # number of dimensions
chain = Chain(Dense(dim, 16, σ), Dense(16, 16, σ), Dense(16, 1))

Chain(
    layer_1 = Dense(2 => 16, σ),                  # 48 parameters
    layer_2 = Dense(16 => 16, σ),                 # 272 parameters
    layer_3 = Dense(16 => 1),                     # 17 parameters
)         # Total: 337 parameters,
          #        plus 0 states.

Here, we build PhysicsInformedNN algorithm where dx is the step of discretization where strategy stores information for choosing a training strategy.

discretization = PhysicsInformedNN(
    chain, QuadratureTraining(; batch = 200, abstol = 1e-6, reltol = 1e-6))

As described in the API docs, we now need to define the PDESystem and create PINNs problem using the discretize method.

@named pde_system = PDESystem(eq, bcs, domains, [x, y], [u(x, y)])
prob = discretize(pde_system, discretization)

Here, we define the callback function and the optimizer. And now we can solve the PDE using PINNs (with the number of epochs maxiters=1000).

#Optimizer
opt = OptimizationOptimJL.LBFGS(linesearch = BackTracking())

callback = function (p, l)
    println("Current loss is: $l")
    return false
end

# We can pass the callback function in the solve. Not doing here as the output would be very long.
res = Optimization.solve(prob, opt, maxiters = 1000)
phi = discretization.phi

We can plot the predicted solution of the PDE and compare it with the analytical solution to plot the relative error.

dx = 0.05
xs, ys = [leftendpoint(d.domain):(dx / 10):rightendpoint(d.domain) for d in domains]
analytic_sol_func(x, y) = (sin(pi * x) * sin(pi * y)) / (2pi^2)

u_predict = reshape([first(phi([x, y], res.u)) for x in xs for y in ys],
    (length(xs), length(ys)))
u_real = reshape([analytic_sol_func(x, y) for x in xs for y in ys],
    (length(xs), length(ys)))
diff_u = abs.(u_predict .- u_real)

p1 = plot(xs, ys, u_real, linetype = :contourf, title = "analytic");
p2 = plot(xs, ys, u_predict, linetype = :contourf, title = "predict");
p3 = plot(xs, ys, diff_u, linetype = :contourf, title = "error");
plot(p1, p2, p3)
