Partial Differential Equations in the Age of Machine Learning: A Critical Synthesis of Classical, Machine Learning, and Hybrid Methods

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.07655v1 Announce Type: new Partial differential equations (PDEs) govern physical phenomena across the full range of scientific scales, yet their computational solution remains one of the defining challenges of modern science. This critical review examines two mature but epistemologically distinct paradigms for PDE solution, classical numerical methods and machine learning approaches, through a unified evaluative framework organized around six fundamental computational challenges.
