Natural gradients and kernel methods for Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs)
Published in Université Paris-Saclay, 2025
This dissertation addresses limitations in Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) through two complementary approaches. Algorithmically, it develops improved training schemes combining kernel methods and natural gradients. Theoretically, it grounds PINNs in rigorous mathematics using Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHS) and spectral analysis.
