Title: Solving Linear PDE by Machine Learning and Commutative Algebra
Abstract: We use the theory of linear pde systems with constant coefficients
(Malgrange, Palamodov, Pommaret, Sturmfels) to implement a machine
learning algorithm which generates solutions to arbitrary linear pdes.
Since we preprocess the equations with computer algebra, our methods are
applicable to arbitrary pde systems, irrespective of type (elliptic,
hyperbolic, etc.) or order. We test our method for classical equations
(wave, heat, Laplace) and discuss future applications to equations
describing wave-related phenomena, for example direct and inverse
problems involving Maxwell's system and the elasticity equations.
