Stage 4: The Moment of Truth - Comparing Results
Direct Comparison: Standard NN vs PINN
What we expect to see:
- Standard NN: Fits data points but fails between them
- PINN: Fits data points AND follows physics everywhere
Phase Portrait Analysis: The Ultimate Physics Test
Physical Insight:
For a harmonic oscillator, the phase portrait (velocity vs displacement) reveals the underlying dynamics. Real oscillators trace smooth spirals in phase space as energy dissipates.
Critical Test: Can our neural networks capture this fundamental physical behavior?
Deep Dive: Derivative Analysis
Critical Test: Can the PINN learn physically consistent derivatives?
Since we enforce the ODE through derivatives, the PINN should naturally learn correct \( \frac{du}{dt} \) and \( \frac{d^2u}{dt^2} \).
