1.2. Basics of neural networks

where σ : R 7→ R is a given function, called activation function, which acts on any vector or matrix component-wise. It is clear from this exposition that the network NA is defined uniquely by the architecture A. In all the networks we will consider the architecture A is given/fixed, and we will omit the letter A from NA.

These network functions, which will be used to approximate solutions to HCLs, benefit from automatic differentiation with respect to x and θ (parameters). This feature allows an evaluation of (1) without error. Naturally, the computed solutions are restricted to the function space spanned by the neural networks.

1.3. About the entropy of direct PINN methods

We finish this introduction by a short discussion on the entropy of PINN solvers for HCLs. As direct PINN solvers can not directly capture shock waves (discontinuous weak solution), artificial diffusion is usually added to HCLs, uε is searched as the solution to

While we propose in Experiment 6 an illustration of this property of the PINN method, in this paper, we propose a totally different strategy which does not require the addition of any artificial viscosity, and computes entropic shock wave without diffusion.

1.4. Organization of the paper

This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is devoted to the derivation of the basics of the non-diffusive neural network (NDNN) method. Different situations are analyzed including multiple shock waves, shock wave interaction, shock wave generation, and the extension to systems. In Section 3, we discuss the efficient implementation of the derived algorithm.

In Section 4, several numerical experiments are proposed to illustrate the convergence and the accuracy of the proposed algorithms. We conclude in Section 5.
