Abstract:Solving partial differential equations (PDEs) with high-frequency solutions remains a central challenge in physics-informed machine learning due to spectral bias -- the tendency of neural networks to learn low-frequency components preferentially. This paper proposes a Frequency Shift Physics-Informed Extreme Learning Machine (FS-PIELM) framework that addresses this limitation through an additive mechanism for weight initialization. Rather than multiplying random weights by a scaling factor, the method translates the mean of the Gaussian weight distribution while keeping the variance fixed at unity, thereby avoiding the variance amplification inherent in scaling-based methods. Two variants are developed: FS-PIELM-L assigns independent frequency magnitudes to individual neurons, while FS-PIELM-G groups neurons for improved robustness. Theoretical analysis shows that the frequency variance under the proposed framework remains bounded and approaches unity regardless of target frequency, in contrast to the quadratic growth of conventional approaches. The method preserves the computational efficiency of extreme learning machines, requiring only a single linear solve. Experiments on seven benchmark problems spanning six equation types -- Helmholtz, wave, Poisson, Klein-Gordon, heat, and advection-diffusion -- on both regular and complex geometries show that the linear variant achieves the best accuracy in six of seven cases, with improvements of one to nearly five orders of magnitude over existing PIELM variants.

Abstract:Solving high-frequency oscillatory partial differential equations (PDEs) is a critical challenge in scientific computing, with applications in fluid mechanics, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetic wave propagation. Traditional physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) suffer from spectral bias, limiting their ability to capture high-frequency solution components. We introduce Separated-Variable Spectral Neural Networks (SV-SNN), a novel framework that addresses these limitations by integrating separation of variables with adaptive spectral methods. Our approach features three key innovations: (1) decomposition of multivariate functions into univariate function products, enabling independent spatial and temporal networks; (2) adaptive Fourier spectral features with learnable frequency parameters for high-frequency capture; and (3) theoretical framework based on singular value decomposition to quantify spectral bias. Comprehensive evaluation on benchmark problems including Heat equation, Helmholtz equation, Poisson equations and Navier-Stokes equations demonstrates that SV-SNN achieves 1-3 orders of magnitude improvement in accuracy while reducing parameter count by over 90\% and training time by 60\%. These results establish SV-SNN as an effective solution to the spectral bias problem in neural PDE solving. The implementation will be made publicly available upon acceptance at https://github.com/xgxgnpu/SV-SNN.
