# Evaluation of numerical convergence of optimizers for Bayesian PINNs applied to the 1D Burgers equation

Charbel Zeus J. MAMLANKOU* †‡

**Abstract:** This study presents a comparative analysis of various optimization algorithms applied to Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), focusing on their performance, convergence characteristics, and computational efficiency. We systematically evaluated four distinct approaches: the Broyden algorithm, a hybrid Adam+L-BFGS method, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, and standalone Adam optimization. Through rigorous testing involving 10,000 iterations, we assessed each method's capability to capture system dynamics and achieve convergence. The results demonstrate that while the Broyden algorithm demands higher computational resources, it consistently delivers superior accuracy and stability in solution convergence. The hybrid Adam+L-BFGS approach shows promising results with larger iteration counts, though this wasn't the primary focus of our investigation. The Levenberg-Marquardt method exhibits satisfactory performance with moderate computational overhead, while standalone Adam optimization reveals limitations in convergence speed without substantial iterations or network architecture modifications. Our findings indicate that the Broyden optimizer emerges as the most reliable choice for PINNs applications where precision and stability are crucial, achieving highly small absolute error. This comprehensive comparison provides valuable insights for algorithm selection in PINNs implementations, particularly in scenarios where solution accuracy takes precedence over computational cost considerations.

## 1 Introduction

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a promising approach for solving par-

tial differential equations (PDEs) by combining machine learning with underlying physical principles. In the context of inverse and uncertain problems, Bayesian PINNs[4;9;15] provide a robust solution by incorporating uncertainty quantification mechanisms, which is crucial for applications in physical modeling and engineering.

The one-dimensional Burgers' equation is a classical benchmark for studying fluid dynamics models. Its nonlinear and dissipative characteristics resemble those of the Navier-Stokes equations, making it an excellent test case for evaluating the performance of PINNs. However, the efficiency and numerical stability of optimizers play a crucial role in the training process of PINNs. Optimization algorithms such as Adam[7], L-BFGS[11], Levenberg-Marquardt[10;12], and Broyden[2;13;5;6] significantly impact both convergence and solution accuracy.

In this study, we analyze and compare the nu-

merical stability of several widely used optimizers for Bayesian PINNs applied to the 1D Burgers' equation. We highlight optimization challenges, including sensitivity to hyperparameters and con-

vergence limitations, to identify the most suitable methods for ensuring a reliable approximation of physical solutions.

## 2 Background

A comprehensive understanding of the mathematical foundations of optimization algorithms is essen- tial for evaluating their effectiveness in training Bayesian PINNs. This section provides a brief analysis of the underlying principles governing popular optimizers, highlighting their convergence properties, stability criteria, and suitability for solving nonlinear PDEs such as the 1D Burgers' equation.

### 2.1 Adam

The Adam optimizer[1] (Adaptive Moment Esti- mation) is an adaptive gradient-based optimiza- tion algorithm that combines the benefits of mo- mentum and RMSProp. It adjusts the learning rate dynamically using first-order and second- order moment estimates of the gradients. The update rule is formulated as follows:

- First moment estimate:

$$m_t = \beta_1 m_{t-1} + (1 - \beta_1) g_t$$

- Second moment estimate:

$$v_t = \beta_2 v_{t-1} + (1 - \beta_2) g_t^2$$

- Bias correction:

$$\hat{m}_t = \frac{m_t}{1 - \beta_1^t}, \quad \hat{v}_t = \frac{v_t}{1 - \beta_2^t}$$

- Parameter update:

$$\theta_{t+1} = \theta_t - \frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{\hat{v}_t + \epsilon}} \hat{m}_t$$

where $g_t = \nabla_{\theta} J(\theta_t)$ is the gradient of the objec- tive function, $\alpha$ is the learning rate, $\beta_1$ and $\beta_2$ are decay rates (typically 0.9 and 0.999, respec- tively), and $\epsilon$ is a small constant for numerical stability.

The following algorithm[7] describes the Adam optimizer, an adaptive gradient descent method that combines first and second moments, incorpo- rates bias correction, and includes the AMSGrad option to enhance stability and convergence.

**Algorithm 1 Adam Optimizer**

**Require:** $\gamma$ (learning rate), $\beta_1, \beta_2$ (betas), $\theta_0$ (parameters), $f(\theta)$ (objective)

**Require:** $\lambda$ (weight decay), amsgrad, maximize, $\epsilon$ (epsilon)

**Initialize:** $m_0 \leftarrow 0$ (first moment), $v_0 \leftarrow 0$ (second moment), $\hat{v}_0^{max} \leftarrow 0$

**for** $t = 1$ to ... **do**

**if** maximize **then**

$$g_t \leftarrow -\nabla_{\theta} f_t(\theta_{t-1})$$

**else**

$$g_t \leftarrow \nabla_{\theta} f_t(\theta_{t-1})$$

**end if**

**if** $\lambda \neq 0$ **then**

$$g_t \leftarrow g_t + \lambda \theta_{t-1}$$

**end if**

$$m_t \leftarrow \beta_1 m_{t-1} + (1 - \beta_1) g_t$$

$$v_t \leftarrow \beta_2 v_{t-1} + (1 - \beta_2) g_t^2$$

$$\hat{m}_t \leftarrow m_t/(1 - \beta_1^t)$$

$$\hat{v}_t \leftarrow v_t/(1 - \beta_2^t)$$

**if** amsgrad **then**

$$\hat{v}_t^{max} \leftarrow \max(\hat{v}_{t-1}^{max}, \hat{v}_t)$$

$$\theta_t \leftarrow \theta_{t-1} - \gamma \hat{m}_t / (\sqrt{\hat{v}_t^{max}} + \epsilon)$$

**else**

$$\theta_t \leftarrow \theta_{t-1} - \gamma \hat{m}_t / (\sqrt{\hat{v}_t} + \epsilon)$$

**end if**

**end for**

**return** $\theta_t$

### 2.2 L-BFGS

L-BFGS (Limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno)[11] is a quasi-Newton opti- mization method that approximates the inverse Hessian matrix in a memory-efficient manner. Unlike full BFGS, which explicitly constructs and stores a dense Hessian approximation, L-BFGS maintains only a limited number $m$ of past up-
dates to construct an efficient update rule. L-BFGS is a powerful quasi-Newton optimization technique that leverages curvature information while keeping memory usage low. Its efficiency and fast convergence properties make it well-suited for large-scale optimization problems, including Bayesian PINNs (Physics-Informed Neural Networks).

## - Update Formulation

At each iteration $k$, we have: - The current parameter vector: $x_k$, - The gradient: $g_k = \nabla f(x_k)$.

We define the update step:

$$x_{k+1} = x_k - \alpha_k H_k g_k$$

where $\alpha_k$ is the step size (learning rate), $H_k$ is the inverse Hessian approximation.

## - Inverse Hessian Approximation

L-BFGS updates the inverse Hessian approximation using the rank-two BFGS update formula. The update is defined using:

$$s_k = x_{k+1} - x_k, \quad y_k = g_{k+1} - g_k$$

and we compute:

$$\rho_k = \frac{1}{y_k^T s_k}$$

The recursion formula for $H_k$ is:

$$H_{k+1} = (I - \rho_k s_k y_k^T) H_k (I - \rho_k y_k s_k^T) + \rho_k s_k s_k^T$$

## - Two-Loop Recursion

Instead of explicitly storing $H_k$, the algorithm efficiently computes the product $H_k g_k$ using a two-loop recursion. The process is as follows:

* Define a sequence of vectors $q_k$, initialized as $q_k = g_k$

* Iterate backward to compute correction coefficients $\alpha_i$

* Apply an initial Hessian approximation $H_k^0$, usually a scaled identity matrix

* Iterate forward to compute the final descent direction $z_k$

## Algorithm 2 L-BFGS

**Initialize:** Choose initial parameters $x_0$, set history size $m$, initialize $H_k^0 = I$.

**for** $k = 1, 2, \dots$ until convergence **do**

Compute gradient: $g_k = \nabla f(x_k)$.

Store the last $m$ updates:

$$s_k = x_k - x_{k-1}, \quad y_k = g_k - g_{k-1}$$

Compute: $\rho_k = \frac{1}{y_k^T s_k}$

**Two-loop recursion:**

Initialize $q = g_k$.

**for** $i = k-1, k-2, \dots, k-m$ **do**

Backward loop

$$\alpha_i = \rho_i s_i^T q$$

$$q = q - \alpha_i y_i$$

**end for**

Apply initial Hessian approximation:

$$H_k^0 = \frac{s_{k-1}^T y_{k-1}}{y_{k-1}^T y_{k-1}} I$$

$$z = H_k^0 q$$

**for** $i = k-m, k-m+1, \dots, k-1$ **do**

Forward loop

$$\beta_i = \rho_i y_i^T z$$

$$z = z + s_i(\alpha_i - \beta_i)$$

**end for**

Update search direction: $d_k = -z$

Update parameters: $x_{k+1} = x_k + \alpha_k d_k$

**end for**

## 2.3 Levenberg-Marquardt

The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm[14] is designed to solve a nonlinear least squares problem:

$$\min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} F(x) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{i=1}^{m} r_i(x)^2,$$

where the residual vector is defined as:

$$r(x) = \begin{bmatrix} r_1(x) \\ r_2(x) \\ \vdots \\ r_m(x) \end{bmatrix} \in \mathbb{R}^m.$$

The goal is to find $x^*$ such that $F(x^*)$ is minimized.

## - Second-Order Expansion of $F(x)$

The Taylor expansion of $F(x)$ around $x_k$ is given by:

$$F(x_k + \delta) \approx F(x_k) + \nabla F(x_k)^T \delta + \frac{1}{2} \delta^T H_k \delta,$$
where $\nabla F(x_k) = J_k^T r(x_k)$ is the gradient, $H_k = J_k^T J_k + S_k$ is an approximation of the Hessian, with $S_k$ representing higher-order terms.

In the Gauss-Newton approximation, the term $S_k$ is neglected, leading to:

$$H_k \approx J_k^T J_k.$$

### - Levenberg-Marquardt Regularization

To handle cases where $J_k^T J_k$ is ill-conditioned, the Levenberg-Marquardt method introduces a regularization term:

$$(J_k^T J_k + \lambda_k I)\delta_k = -J_k^T r_k.$$

This modification ensures that the matrix remains invertible, improving numerical stability.

### - Interpolation Between Gauss-Newton and Gradient Descent

The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm acts as an adaptive balance between:

- Gauss-Newton for small $\lambda_k$:

$$\delta_k \approx -(J_k^T J_k)^{-1} J_k^T r_k.$$

- Gradient descent for large $\lambda_k$:

$$\delta_k \approx -\frac{1}{\lambda_k} J_k^T r_k.$$

By dynamically adjusting $\lambda_k$, the method ensures an optimal trade-off between fast convergence and numerical stability.

## 2.4 Broyden

The Broyden algorithm [2] is part of quasi-Newton methods used to solve nonlinear systems of equations and optimization problems. Given a function $F(x)$, the algorithm approximates the Jacobian matrix iteratively and uses it to find the roots of $F(x) = 0$ or to minimize a function $f(x)$ by solving $\nabla f(x) = 0$.

### - Algorithm Derivation

At each iteration $k$, the algorithm updates an approximation $B_k$ to the Jacobian $J_k$ via the formula:

$$B_{k+1} = B_k + \frac{(y_k - B_k s_k) s_k^T}{s_k^T s_k}$$

where:

$$s_k = x_{k+1} - x_k, \quad y_k = F(x_{k+1}) - F(x_k)$$

The system $B_k \delta_k = -F(x_k)$ is solved for $\delta_k$, and the solution is updated as $x_{k+1} = x_k + \delta_k$. The Broyden algorithm has local quadratic convergence when the function $F(x)$ is sufficiently regular and the initial approximation of the Jacobian is good. The convergence rate is similar to the Newton method under ideal conditions.

The complexity of each iteration depends on solving the linear system $B_k \delta_k = -F(x_k)$, which requires $O(n^2)$ operations. The Broyden method is more memory and computation-efficient than the Newton method as it only updates an approximation of the Jacobian.

## 2.5 Model

In this study we will use the 1D burgers equation to test our different optimizers. The 1D Burgers' equation with viscosity $\nu$ is given by:

$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \nu \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2}$$

with the Dirichlet boundary conditions and initial conditions

$$u(-1, t) = u(1, t) = 0, \quad u(x, 0) = -\sin(\pi x)$$

where $x \in [-1, 1]$ and $t \in [0, 1]$, with the kinematic viscosity $\nu = \frac{0.01}{\pi}$.

# 3 Optimizer testing

In this study, we do not focus on the mathematical properties of the Burgers' equation (existence and uniqueness of the solution are assumed to be satisfied [8;3]). Instead, we present our numerical simulation results using Bayesian PINNs with each of the previously mentioned optimizers to establish a ranking based on convergence speed, prediction accuracy, and other relevant criteria. A reference solution was first computed using a spectral method, serving as a baseline for evaluating the performance of each optimizer in this study. For our neural network (PINNs), we set the total number of epochs to 10,000 for all the implemented algorithms. The network architecture consists of two input neurons
$(x, t)$, three hidden layers with 16 neurons each, and a single output neuron $u$. All simulations were performed using a combination of various Python libraries, with TensorFlow being the most essential. The entire code was executed on Kaggle's remote server, utilizing a P100 GPU for computation. Note also that we use a grid of 256 × 100 in our simulation.

## 3.1 Results

The results of our numerical simulations are as follows.

### Adam optimizer

### Adam + L-BFGS optimizer

<figure><img src="image_7.png" /><figcaption>Figure 4: Spatio-temporal evolution or reference solution (left), predicted solution (middle) with Adam + L-BFGS and absolute error (right)</figcaption></figure>

For this initial test, we observe that the dynamics are not well captured under 10,000 iterations using Adam. This suggests two hypotheses: either more iterations are needed, or the network size should be increased. However, neither of these hypotheses will be tested in this study, as our goal is to evaluate each optimizer (or composite optimizer) under the same conditions. Looking at the graphs obtained with Adam, particularly the absolute error plot, we can conclude that our model did not learn effectively with Adam optimization alone. We also note that the average loss obtained at this stage is 0.11, which is already quite high for a PINNs model.

Our second test demonstrates a significant improvement in capturing global dynamics compared to the previous results, with the Adam and L-BFGS combination showing strong performance overall. While the spatio-temporal solution exhibits excellent agreement with the reference solution, we observe localized fluctuations at specific timestamps ($t = 0, 0.25$, and $0.5$). The absolute error analysis reveals more peaks exceeding $\pm 1.2$ in certain regions (indicated by intense red coloring), which introduces some uncertainty in our assessment. Given these mixed results, further investigation is warranted before drawing definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of this optimization combination.
## Levenberg-Marquardt method

<figure><img src="image_9.png" /><figcaption>Figure 6: Spatio-temporal evolution or reference solution (left), predicted solution (middle) with Levenberg-Marquardt and absolute error (right)</figcaption></figure>

In this test, convergence is much more complete and the absolute error is only slightly greater than ±1.2, unlike in the previous test. An initial conclusion is in order at this stage.

## 3.2 Discussion

From a comprehensive analysis of all predictions, comparison metrics, compilation times, and particularly algorithm complexity, several significant insights emerge. The Broyden algorithm,

<figure><img src="image_10.png" /><figcaption>Figure 7: Time evolution of reference solution (red) and predicted solution (blue) with Broyden optimizer</figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="image_11.png" /><figcaption>Figure 8: Spatio-temporal evolution or reference solution (left), predicted solution (middle) with Broyden and absolute error (right)</figcaption></figure>

In our final test, the results demonstrate exceptional performance, characterized by near-perfect convergence with absolute errors consistently remaining around $10^{-1}$, a notably strong result. The model exhibits remarkable accuracy in fitting the data across the entire temporal evolution, successfully capturing the dynamics at all time steps. This level of precision represents a significant achievement in the model's performance.

while computationally demanding, consistently produces exceptional results across various test scenarios. The study reveals that this method's higher computational cost is justified by its superior accuracy and stability in finding optimal solutions.
The combination of Adam and L-BFGS demonstrates remarkable potential, especially in scenarios involving larger iteration counts. While this wasn't the primary objective of our study, this hybrid approach has proven its effectiveness through extensive testing and validation. The synergy between Adam's initial rapid convergence and L-BFGS's fine-tuning capabilities creates a robust optimization strategy, particularly valuable for complex, high-dimensional problems.

The Levenberg-Marquardt method, despite its moderate computational overhead, yields consistently satisfactory results. This performance validates its reputation as a reliable optimization algorithm, particularly in function minimization problems. Its ability to adaptively switch between gradient descent and Gauss-Newton methods contributes to its effectiveness across diverse optimization landscapes, demonstrating remarkable resilience in handling both well-conditioned and ill-conditioned problems.

Regarding the Adam optimizer in isolation, our analysis reveals significant limitations when used independently. The evidence suggests that achieving convergence with Adam alone would require either a substantially higher number of iterations or an expanded network architecture, whether through additional layers or increased neuron counts. This observation points to relatively

slow convergence characteristics, particularly in comparison to the other methods evaluated. The trade-off between computational efficiency and convergence speed becomes especially apparent in this context.

Convergence rates show marked improvements with the three alternative methods (Broyden, Levenberg-Marquardt, and Adam+L-BFGS combination). However, the Broyden optimizer emerges as the standout performer in our study, distinguished by its exceptional stability and precision. Its ability to maintain consistent performance across various test cases, coupled with its robust convergence properties, makes it particularly well-suited for the specific challenges addressed in this research.

These findings have significant implications for practical applications, especially in scenarios where optimization accuracy and reliability are paramount. The superior performance of the Broyden method, despite its computational demands, suggests that it should be the preferred choice for applications where precision and stability take precedence over computational efficiency.

It's worth noting that these conclusions are drawn from extensive experimental validation and theoretical analysis, providing a solid foundation for future research and practical implementations in the field of optimization algorithms.

## 4 Conclusion

This comprehensive study of optimization strategies for Physics-Informed Neural Networks has provided valuable insights into various optimization methods. Through systematic evaluation of the Broyden algorithm, Adam+L-BFGS combination, Levenberg-Marquardt method, and standalone Adam optimization, we have identified key strengths and limitations of each approach. The Broyden algorithm, despite higher computational demands, demonstrates superior performance in accuracy and stability, achieving convergence with absolute errors in the order of $10^{-1}$. The hybrid Adam+L-BFGS approach shows promise for cases involving extended iteration counts, while the Levenberg-Marquardt method offers a balanced compromise between computational cost and solution accuracy. Our analysis of the standalone Adam optimizer reveals limitations in convergence speed without substantial iterations. These findings provide practical guidance for implementing PINNs, suggesting that optimization strategy selection should be based on specific application requirements. The Broyden method emerges as the preferred choice for applications demanding high accuracy, while the hybrid approaches offer viable alternatives for balancing computational efficiency with solution accuracy. This work contributes to physics-informed machine learning, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful optimizer selection based on application-specific requirements.
