Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite researchers and scholars to contribute to this Special Issue of Mathematics on "Modeling and Numerical Analysis with Neural Networks". This Issue aims to promote the application of contemporary neural networks to solving real-world challenges across various scientific disciplines, including engineering, social sciences, chemistry, medicine, business, life sciences, and others. Traditionally, problems in these fields have been approached through techniques such as function approximation, simulation, estimation, iterative methods, and differential equations. However, the emergence of artificial neural networks has provided an alternative mathematical and computational framework for numerical analysis, and modeling in the field of mathematics. We encourage researchers to submit studies that propose innovative methods and applications of neural networks in numerical analysis and modeling. We are particularly interested in publishing manuscripts that address complex real-world problems in science and engineering; moreover, whether you have developed new neural network architectures or have conducted comprehensive surveys in this field, we welcome your contributions. Join us in exploring the potential of neural networks as a powerful tool for solving numerical problems and advancing scientific research.

In global optimization problems, diversification approaches are often necessary to overcome the convergence toward local optima. One approach is the multi-start method, where a set of different starting configurations are taken into account to designate the best local minimum returned by the multiple optimization procedures as the (possible) global optimum. Therefore, parallelization is crucial for multi-start. In this work, we present a new multi-start approach for gradient-based optimization methods that exploits the reverse Automatic Differentiation to perform efficiently. In particular, for each step, this Automatic Differentiation-based method is able to compute the N gradients of N optimization procedures extremely quickly, exploiting the implicit parallelization guaranteed by the computational graph representation of the multi-start problem. The practical advantages of the proposed method are illustrated by analyzing the time complexity from a theoretical point of view and showing numerical examples where the speed-up is between ×40 and ×100, with respect to classic parallelization methods. Moreover, we show that our AD-based multi-start approach can be implemented by using tailored shallow Neural Networks, taking advantage of the built-in optimization procedures of the Deep Learning frameworks.

Neural network methods have shown promise for solving complex quantum many-body systems. In this study, we develop a novel approach through incorporating the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method with the neural network quantum state method. The results demonstrate that, when tensor-network pre-training is introduced into the neural network, a high efficiency can be achieved for quantum many-body systems with strong correlations.
