Incorporating Local Hölder Regularity into PINNs for Solving Elliptic PDEs

In this paper, local H\"older regularization is incorporated into a physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) framework for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs). Motivated by the interior regularity properties of linear elliptic PDEs, a modified loss function is constructed by introducing local H\"older regularization term. To approximate this term effectively, a variable-distance discrete sampling strategy is developed. Error estimates are established to assess the generalization performance of the proposed method. Numerical experiments on a range of elliptic problems demonstrate notable improvements in both prediction accuracy and robustness compared to standard physics-informed neural networks.
