Abstract: The recently developed physics-informed machine learning has made great progress for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), however, it may fail to provide reasonable approximations to the PDEs with discontinuous solutions. In this paper, we focus on the discrete time physics-informed neural network (PINN), and propose a hybrid PINN (hPINN) scheme for the nonlinear PDEs. In this approach, the local solution structures are classified as smooth and nonsmooth scales by introducing a discontinuity indicator, and then the automatic differentiation technique is employed for resolving smooth scales, while an improved weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme is adopted to capture discontinuities. We then test the present approach by considering the viscous and inviscid Burgers equations, and it is shown that compared with original discrete time PINN, the present hPINN approach has a better performance in approximating the discontinuous solution even at a relatively larger time step.
