Abstract
Recorded 15 July 2025. Li Wang of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, presents "Learning-enhanced structure preserving particle methods for Landau equation" at IPAM's Sampling, Inference, and Data-Driven Physical Modeling in Scientific Machine Learning Workshop.
Abstract: The Landau equation stands as one of the fundamental equations in kinetic theory and plays a key role in plasma physics. However, computing it presents significant challenges due to the complexity of the Landau operator, the dimensionality, and the need to preserve the physical properties of the solution. In this presentation, I will introduce deep learning assisted particle methods aimed at addressing some of these challenges. These methods combine the benefits of traditional structure-preserving techniques with the approximation power of neural networks, aiming to handle high dimensional problems with minimal training.
