Abstract: An improved model named FF-ResPINN, combining Fourier feature mapping with residual connections, is proposed to address the challenges of spectral bias and gradient pathology encountered by Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) when solving high-order nonlinear partial differential equations. Firstly, input coordinates are projected into a high-dimensional feature space by Fourier feature mapping. The spectral bandwidth of the Neural Tangent Kernel is regulated, and the capability of the network to capture high-frequency oscillatory solutionsis enhanced. Secondly, residual connections are introduced into the network to establish direct propagation paths for gradients. Consequently, the vanishing gradient problem triggered by high-order derivative calculations is effectively mitigated. The fourth-order Boussinesq equation and the fifth-order Sawada-Kotera equationare selected for numerical verification. Experimental results show that, compared with the standard PINN model, the solution accuracy and convergence stability are obviously improved by FF-ResPINN. The relative L2 error reaches O(10-5). The effectiveness of the proposed method in solving high-order nonlinear partial differential equations is verified.
