We propose a new neural network based method for solving inverse problems for partial differential equations (PDEs) by formulating the PDE inverse problem as a bilevel optimization problem. At the upper level, we minimize the data loss with respect to the PDE parameters. At the lower level, we train a neural network to…

Dynamical models in the form of systems of ordinary differential equations have become a standard tool in systems biology. Many parameters of such models are usually unknown and have to be inferred from experimental data. Gradient-based optimization has proven to be effective for parameter estimation. However…

Systems biology strives to unravel the complex dynamics of cellular processes, often with the help of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). However, the sparsity of measured data and the strong non-linearity of common ODEs introduce severe numerical problems in typical modeling tasks. This gave rise to the…

Understanding and predicting extinction risk is a central challenge in population biology. Mathematical models incorporating Allee thresholds are commonly used to understand population dynamics and to assess extinction risks. Inaccurate predictions can have serious consequences for conservation management. In this…

Uncertainty quantification in PDE inverse problems is essential in many applications. Scientific machine learning and AI enable data-driven learning of model components while preserving physical structure, and provide the scalability and adaptability needed for emerging imaging technologies and clinical insights. We…

In biological systems, chemical signals termed morphogens self-organise into patterns that are vital for many physiological processes. As observed by Turing in 1952, these patterns are in a state of continual development, and are usually transitioning from one pattern into another. How do cells robustly decode these…

Many biological processes can be thought of as the result of an underlying dynamics in which the system repeatedly undergoes distinct and abortive trajectories with the dynamical process only ending when some specific process, purpose, structure or function is achieved. A classic example is the way in which…

In the field of optimization, developing accelerated methods for solving minimax and fixed-point problems remains a fundamental challenge. This paper presents a novel family of dual accelerated algorithms that achieve optimal convergence rates for both minimax and fixed-point problems. By exploring new anchoring…
