Study on a Poisson's Equation Solver Based On Deep Learning Technique
share
In this work, we investigated the feasibility of applying deep learning techniques to solve Poisson's equation. A deep convolutional neural network is set up to predict the distribution of electric potential in 2D or 3D cases. With proper training data generated from a finite difference solver, the strong approximation capability of the deep convolutional neural network allows it to make correct prediction given information of the source and distribution of permittivity. With applications of L2 regularization, numerical experiments show that the predication error of 2D cases can reach below 1.5% and the predication of 3D cases can reach below 3%, with a significant reduction in CPU time compared with the traditional solver based on finite difference methods.
