This paper introduces an efficient tensor-vector product technique for the rapid and accurate approximation of integral operators within physics-informed deep learning frameworks. Our approach leverages neural network architectures to evaluate problem dynamics at specific points, while employing Gaussian quadrature formulas to approximate the integral components, even in the presence of infinite domains or singularities. We demonstrate the applicability of this method to both Fredholm and Volterra integral operators, as well as to optimal control problems involving continuous time. Additionally, we outline how this approach can be extended to approximate fractional derivatives and integrals and propose a fast matrix-vector product algorithm for efficiently computing the fractional Caputo derivative. In the numerical section, we conduct comprehensive experiments on forward and inverse problems. For forward problems, we evaluate the performance of our method on over 50 diverse mathematical problems, including multi-dimensional integral equations, systems of integral equations, partial and fractional integro-differential equations, and various optimal control problems in delay, fractional, multi-dimensional, and nonlinear configurations. For inverse problems, we test our approach on several integral equations and fractional integro-differential problems. Finally, we introduce the pinnies Python package to facilitate the implementation and usability of the proposed method.

In this paper, we present the Residual Integral Solver Network (RISN), a novel neural network architecture designed to solve a wide range of integral and integro-differential equations, including one-dimensional, multi-dimensional, ordinary and partial integro-differential, systems, fractional types, and Helmholtz-type integral equations involving oscillatory kernels. RISN integrates residual connections with high-accuracy numerical methods such as Gaussian quadrature and fractional derivative operational matrices, enabling it to achieve higher accuracy and stability than traditional Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN). The residual connections help mitigate vanishing gradient issues, allowing RISN to handle deeper networks and more complex kernels, particularly in multi-dimensional problems. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that RISN consistently outperforms not only classical PINNs but also advanced variants such as Auxiliary PINN (A-PINN) and Self-Adaptive PINN (SA-PINN), achieving significantly lower Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) across various types of equations. These results highlight RISN's robustness and efficiency in solving challenging integral and integro-differential problems, making it a valuable tool for real-world applications where traditional methods often struggle.
