Abstract
This paper presents a complete derivation and design of a physics-informed neural network (PINN) applicable to solve initial- and boundary value problems described by linear ordinary differential equations. The objective not to develop a numerical solution procedure which is more accurate and efficient than standard finite element or finite difference based methods, but to give a fully explicit mathematical description of a PINN and to present an application example in the context of hydrodynamic lubrication. It is, however, worth noticing that the PINN developed herein, contrary to FEM and FDM, is a meshless method and that training does not require big data which is typical in machine learning.
