Deep-Learning Solvers and Surrogates for Infinity and p-Laplace Problems
Abstract
We investigate the use of neural network solvers for infinity and p-Laplace problems, which are fundamental in nonlinear analysis and have practical applications. Our approach employs Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and Deep Operator Networks (DeepONets) to address computational challenges associated with large p values, ranging from $2$ to $1000$, on various 2D and 3D domains. Our method offers advantages over traditional physics-based solvers, especially in three dimensions where mesh-based solvers become very costly for these problems. We also establish conditional convergence results for PINN approximations of both problems and a universal approximation result for DeepONet on the parametric p-Poisson problem. We demonstrate the effectiveness of these neural network solvers through numerical experiments and compare their performance with conventional methods.
