pETNNs: Partial Evolutionary Tensor Neural Networks for Solving Time-dependent Partial Differential Equations

We present partial evolutionary tensor neural networks (pETNNs), a novel framework for solving time-dependent partial differential equations with both of high accuracy and remarkable extrapolation. Our proposed architecture leverages the inherent accuracy of tensor neural networks, while incorporating evolutionary parameters that enable remarkable extrapolation capabilities. By adopting innovative parameter update strategies, the pETNNs achieve a significant reduction in computational cost while maintaining precision and robustness. Notably, the pETNNs enhance the accuracy of conventional evolutional deep neural networks and empowers computational abilities to address high-dimensional problems. Numerical experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the pETNNs in solving time-dependent complex equations, including the Navier-Stokes equations, high-dimensional heat equation, high-dimensional transport equation and Korteweg-de Vries type equation.
