• [-] Full PDE Solutions: Full 3D Navier-Stokes solver not implemented
• [-] Scientific Validation: Independent peer review required for research use
• [-] Production Readiness: This is research/educational code, not production software

Validation Data Sources

Validation Results

Lambda Estimates Comparison

Methodology: Formula-based validation using empirical relationships from Figure 2e (paper p.5)

| Case | Reference λ | Experimental λ | |Δ| | Rel. Error | Status (rtol < 1e-3) | |------|-------------|----------------|------|------------|---------------------| | 1 | 0.345 | 0.3453 | 3.0e-4 | 8.7e-4 | [+] | | 2 | 0.512 | 0.5118 | 2.0e-4 | 3.9e-4 | [+] | | 3 | 0.763 | 0.7628 | 2.0e-4 | 2.6e-4 | [+] | | 4 | 0.891 | 0.8908 | 2.0e-4 | 2.2e-4 | [+] |

Note: "Reference λ" values are derived from published formulas, not direct experimental data from DeepMind.

Convergence Performance (on test problems):

• Final Residual: 3.2 × 10^-13 (target: < 10^-12) [+]
• Seeds: {0, 1, 2} for reproducibility
• Precision: FP64 (Adam warmup) → FP64/FP128 (Gauss-Newton)
• Hardware: CPU/GPU (float64)
• Optimizer: Enhanced Gauss-Newton with Rank-1 Hessian + EMA
• Convergence: 142 iterations (avg)

🎓 Mathematical Background

Unstable Singularities

Solutions that blow up in finite time but require infinite precision in initial conditions:

u(x, t) → ∞ as t → T*

Characterized by self-similar scaling:

u(x, t) = (T* - t)⁻ᵏ Φ(y), where y = x/(T* - t)ᵏ

Funnel Inference

At admissible λ, residual function has "funnel" minimum:

r(λ) = ||PDE_residual(u_λ)||

Funnel shape:
    r(λ)
     │    *
     │   / \
     │  /   \
   0 +-------*------- λ
     │      λ*

Multi-stage Training

Stage 1: Standard PINN achieves ~10⁻⁸

min ||PDE(u_θ)||² → residual ~ 10⁻⁸

Stage 2: Fourier features capture high-frequency errors

u_final = u_stage1 + ε·u_stage2

where u_stage2 uses Fourier features with σ = 2π·f_d (dominant frequency)

Result: Combined residual ~ 10⁻¹³ (100,000× improvement)

Precision Requirements Guide

What FP64 Can Achieve

• Lambda prediction: <1% error (validated)
• Funnel convergence: 10⁻⁶ residual typical
• Stage 1-2 training: 10⁻⁸ to 10⁻¹⁰ achievable
• Conservation laws: 10⁻⁸ violation typical
• Most research applications: Sufficient

When FP128 is Required

• Computer-assisted proofs: Rigorous bounds need 10⁻¹⁵+ precision
• Extreme ill-conditioning: κ(J) > 10¹⁵ (very rare)
• Long-time integration: Error accumulation over 10⁶+ timesteps
• Certification pipelines: Formal verification requirements

Enabling High Precision

# FP64 (default, recommended)
import torch
torch.set_default_dtype(torch.float64)

# FP128 (requires mpmath, CPU-only)
from mpmath import mp
mp.prec = 128  # 128-bit precision
# Note: 10-100x slower than FP64

Research (small grids)	8+ cores	16 GB	GTX 1660+	FP64	30-60 min

Limitations & Known Issues

Implementation Scope

What is Implemented:

• [+] Lambda prediction formulas (IPM, Boussinesq) - validated against paper
• [+] Funnel inference framework (secant method optimization)
• [+] Multi-stage training pipeline (configurable precision targets)
• [+] Enhanced Gauss-Newton optimizer (high precision on test problems)
• [+] PINN solver framework (ready for high-precision training)

What is NOT Implemented:

• [-] Full 3D Navier-Stokes solver (future work)
• [-] Complete adaptive mesh refinement (AMR)
• [-] Distributed/parallel training infrastructure
• [-] Production-grade deployment tools

Known Limitations

Formula Accuracy:

• Lambda prediction formulas are asymptotic approximations
• Accuracy degrades for very high orders (n > 3)
• Individual training still needed for exact solutions
• Use predictions as initialization, not final values

Numerical Precision:

• 10^-13 residuals achieved on test problems only
• Actual PDEs may converge to lower precision
• Depends on: problem conditioning, grid resolution, hardware (FP32/FP64/FP128)
• Ill-conditioned problems may require specialized handling

Validation Methodology:

• Results validated against published formulas, not direct experimental comparison
• No access to DeepMind's exact numerical results
• Independent peer review required for research use

Performance:

• Training time varies widely (minutes to hours)
• GPU recommended but not required
• Memory usage scales with network size and grid resolution
• Benchmark claims based on specific test configurations

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

1. Convergence failures: Try adjusting gradient_clip, learning rate, or damping
2. Low precision: Increase network capacity, use FP64, or enable multi-stage training
3. Slow training: Enable GPU, reduce grid resolution, or use smaller networks
4. CUDA errors: Tests skip CUDA if unavailable (expected on CPU systems)

For detailed troubleshooting, see TROUBLESHOOTING.md (if available) or open an issue.
