New SPCNNs Architecture for Approximating Polyconvex Energies

Researchers have developed a new type of neural network architecture called Symmetric Polyconvex Neural Networks (SPCNNs) to address the challenges of approximating symmetric polyconvex energies. These networks combine a convexity property with the monotonicity required for representing minors, overcoming limitations of previous ReLU-based networks. The SPCNNs are proven to universally approximate symmetric polyconvex energies without assuming isotropy, and their accuracy is demonstrated through numerical examples involving stress-based regression and the approximation of a double-well potential's symmetric polyconvex envelope.

    Universal neural network approximation of symmetric polyconvex energies and envelopes

    arXiv:2610.32598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symmetric polyconvexity provides a sufficient condition for weak lower semicontinuity in small-strain elasticity and a tractable lower bound for the relaxation of non-(quasi)convex energies. Since classical algorithms for computin…
