New KAN framework discovers kernels in integro-differential equations

Researchers have developed a new framework for discovering memory and nonlocal kernels in integro-differential equations using constrained Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks (KANs). This approach aims to overcome limitations of existing methods that often require problem-specific derivations or restrictive assumptions. The framework utilizes two types of constrained KANs: a Monotone--Convex KAN (MC-KAN) with hard constraints and a Chebyshev-based KAN (Cheb-KAN) with soft penalties, both designed to enforce physical properties like positivity and convexity. Symbolic regression is then applied to the learned kernels to obtain interpretable closed-form representations. Experiments on various benchmarks, including a 2D nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation, showed that the hard-constrained MC-KAN was more robust than the soft-constrained Cheb-KAN when dealing with sparse and noisy data.
