A fundamental question in lightning flash concerns why the discharge channel propagates a zig-zag manner and produces extensive branches. Here we report optical observation of two negative cloud-to-ground discharges with very high temporal resolution 180,000 frames per second, which shows detail dependence branching tortuous behavior on stepping process leader development. It is found that clustered space leaders formed parallel ahead tip during an individual step process. The due to...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are an essential computational kernel in physics and engineering. With the advance of deep learning, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), as a mesh-free method, have shown great potential for fast PDE solving various applications. To address issue low accuracy convergence problems existing PINNs, we propose self-training network, ST-PINN.
