ODIL

ODIL (Optimizing a Discrete Loss) is a Python framework for solving inverse and data assimilation problems for partial differential equations. ODIL formulates the problem through optimization of a loss function including the residuals of a finite-difference and finite-volume discretization along with data and regularization terms. ODIL solves the same problems as the popular PINN (Physics-Informed Neural Networks) framework.

Key features:

  • automatic differentiation using TensorFlow or JAX
  • optimization by gradient-based methods (Adam, L-BFGS) and Newton's method
  • orders of magnitude lower computational cost than PINN [1]
  • multigrid decomposition for faster optimization [2]

Interactive demos

These demos use a C++ implementation of ODIL with autodiff and Emscripten to run interactively in the web browser.
