    Optimization with learning-informed differential equation constraints and its applications
    (Les Ulis : EDP Sciences, 2022) Dong, Guozhi; Hintermüller, Michael; Papafitsoros, Kostas
    Inspired by applications in optimal control of semilinear elliptic partial differential equations and physics-integrated imaging, differential equation constrained optimization problems with constituents that are only accessible through data-driven techniques are studied. A particular focus is on the analysis and on numerical methods for problems with machine-learned components. For a rather general context, an error analysis is provided, and particular properties resulting from artificial neural network based approximations are addressed. Moreover, for each of the two inspiring applications analytical details are presented and numerical results are provided.

    Convergence Rates of First- and Higher-Order Dynamics for Solving Linear Ill-Posed Problems
    (New York, NY : Springer, 2021) Boţ, Radu; Dong, Guozhi; Elbau, Peter; Scherzer, Otmar
    Recently, there has been a great interest in analysing dynamical flows, where the stationary limit is the minimiser of a convex energy. Particular flows of great interest have been continuous limits of Nesterov’s algorithm and the fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm, respectively. In this paper, we approach the solutions of linear ill-posed problems by dynamical flows. Because the squared norm of the residual of a linear operator equation is a convex functional, the theoretical results from convex analysis for energy minimising flows are applicable. However, in the restricted situation of this paper they can often be significantly improved. Moreover, since we show that the proposed flows for minimising the norm of the residual of a linear operator equation are optimal regularisation methods and that they provide optimal convergence rates for the regularised solutions, the given rates can be considered the benchmarks for further studies in convex analysis.

    First-order conditions for the optimal control of learning-informed nonsmooth PDEs
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Dong, Guozhi; Hintermüller, Michael; Papafitsoros, Kostas; Völkner, Kathrin
    In this paper we study the optimal control of a class of semilinear elliptic partial differential equations which have nonlinear constituents that are only accessible by data and are approximated by nonsmooth ReLU neural networks. The optimal control problem is studied in detail. In particular, the existence and uniqueness of the state equation are shown, and continuity as well as directional differentiability properties of the corresponding control-to-state map are established. Based on approximation capabilities of the pertinent networks, we address fundamental questions regarding approximating properties of the learning-informed control-to-state map and the solution of the corresponding optimal control problem. Finally, several stationarity conditions are derived based on different notions of generalized differentiability.
