A Bayesian Approach to Feedback Control for Hyperbolic Balance Laws

We propose a Bayesian framework for feedback boundary control of hyperbolic balance laws. The method propagates a probability distribution over feedback parameters using Lyapunov decay estimates as a likelihood. For linear models, it recovers available analytical stability results and extends to nonlinear regimes where theory is limited. Using first-order local Lax-Friedrichs (LLF) discretizations, we validate the approach on the decoupled wave system and the linearized Saint-Venant equations, reproducing known stability intervals and mixed boundary couplings. We then treat nonlinear and stochastic problems, including the nonlinear Saint-Venant system, one- and two-dimensional Burgers equations, Burgers equation with random initial data, and nonconservative perturbations with source terms, and show that the inferred stability domains are robust with respect to the indicator and the prior. Finally, we demonstrate transfer to a second-order semi-discrete LLF scheme and to a two-parameter feedback model for laser powder bed fusion with power regulation.

MeltpoolINR: Predicting temperature field, melt pool geometry, and their rate of change in laser powder bed fusion

We present a data-driven, differentiable neural network model designed to learn the temperature field, its gradient, and the cooling rate, while implicitly representing the melt pool boundary as a level set in laser powder bed fusion. The physics-guided model combines fully connected feed-forward neural networks with Fourier feature encoding of the spatial coordinates and laser position. Notably, our differentiable model allows for the computation of temperature derivatives with respect to position, time, and process parameters using autodifferentiation. Moreover, the implicit neural representation of the melt pool boundary as a level set enables the inference of the solidification rate and the rate of change in melt pool geometry relative to process parameters. The model is trained to learn the top view of the temperature field and its spatiotemporal derivatives during a single-track laser powder bed fusion process, as a function of three process parameters, using data from high-fidelity thermo-fluid simulations. The model accuracy is evaluated and compared to a state-of-the-art convolutional neural network model, demonstrating strong generalization ability and close agreement with high-fidelity data.
