Two-level deep domain decomposition method

Victorita Dolean, Serge Gratton, Alexander Heinlein, Valentin Mercier

This study presents a two-level Deep Domain Decomposition Method (Deep-DDM) augmented with a coarse-level network for solving boundary value problems using physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). The addition of the coarse level network improves scalability and convergence rates compared to the single level method. Tested on a Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions, the two-level deep DDM demonstrates superior performance, maintaining efficient convergence regardless of the number of subdomains. This advance provides a more scalable and effective approach to solving complex partial differential equations with machine learning.
