Hi, my name is Yizheng Wang. I will be a Ph.D. student in Department of Engineering Mechanics, Tsinghua University (2024), supervised by Prof. Yinghua Liu and Prof. Rabczuk. I major in engineering mechanics, mainly doing computational solid mechanics and received my master’s degree supervised by Prof. Yinghua Liu (2019-2022) from the Institute of Solid Mechanics (ISM), Department of Engineering Mechanics, Tsinghua University, and Bachelor’s degree from Civil Aviation University of China in Tianjin. I also worked as a research assistant at Microsoft Research AI4Science (2022-2023). I will come to Bauhaus University as a guest researcher in Weimar supervised by Prof. Rabczuk for AI for mechanics (2023-2024).

I am majoring in solid mechanics and have rich experience in physical theory, computation, and experiment. I mainly focus on solving Partial Differential Equations of solid mechanics based on the physics-informed neural networks(PINNs), operator learning and deep energy method. My research interest is AI4Science, specifically AI for mechanics.

Kolmogorov Arnold Informed neural network: A physics-informed deep learning framework for solving PDEs based on Kolmogorov Arnold Networks

Yizheng Wang, Jia Sun, Jinshuai Bai, Cosmin Anitescu, Mohammad Sadegh Eshaghi, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk, and Yinghua Liu

PDF

  • We propose different PDE forms based on KAN instead of MLP, termed Kolmogorov-Arnold-Informed Neural Network (KINN). We systematically compare MLP and KAN in various numerical examples of PDEs, including multi-scale, singularity, stress concentration, nonlinear hyperelasticity, heterogeneous, and complex geometry problems. Our results demonstrate that KINN significantly outperforms MLP in terms of accuracy and convergence speed for numerous PDEs in computational solid mechanics, except for the complex geometry problem. This highlights KINN’s potential for more efficient and accurate PDE solutions in AI for PDEs.
