Abstract

The rapid development of Learning theory has opened up a new horizon for scientific research. How to apply the idea of learning in scientific computing and propose new ideas for some difficult problems is currently a research direction of great concern. In this report, we mainly introduce some recent related research results of our team: a method for numerical solution of differential equations based on machine learning. In view of the fact that current numerical solution methods (FEM, FD, BEM etc.) do not consider existing exact solutions (fundamental solutions, series solutions etc.), information from actual engineering measurements, and related results that have already been calculated, we propose a numerical solution method based on learning theory, and provide the relevant theoretical framework and algorithm. The results of numerical simulation show that our method has good effects on high-wavenumber problems.
