Solving High-Dimensional Partial Differential Equations Using Tensor Neural Network and A Posteriori Error Estimators

In this paper, based on the combination of tensor neural network and a posteriori error estimator, a novel type of machine learning method is proposed to solve high-dimensional boundary value problems with homogeneous and non-homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann type of boundary conditions and eigenvalue problems of the second-order elliptic operator. The most important advantage of the tensor neural network is that the high-dimensional integrations of tensor neural networks can be computed with high accuracy and high efficiency. Based on this advantage and the theory of a posteriori error estimation, the a posteriori error estimator is adopted to design the loss function to optimize the network parameters adaptively. The applications of tensor neural network and the a posteriori error estimator improve the accuracy of the corresponding machine learning method. The theoretical analysis and numerical examples are provided to validate the proposed methods.
