Abstract

A combined deep machine learning (DML) and collocation based approach to solve the partial differential equations using artificial neural networks is proposed. The developed method is applied to solve problems governed by the Sine–Gordon equation (SGE), the scalar wave equation and elasto-dynamics. Two methods are studied: one is a space-time formulation and the other is a semi-discrete method based on an implicit Runge–Kutta (RK) time integration. The methodology is implemented using the Tensorflow framework and it is tested on several numerical examples. Based on the results, the relative normalized error was observed to be less than 5% in all cases.
