6/// PDE-aware optimizer for Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs).
7///
8/// Based on 2025 research: "PDE-aware Optimizer for Physics-informed Neural Networks"
9/// This optimizer adapts parameter updates based on the variance of per-sample PDE
10/// residual gradients, providing smoother convergence and lower absolute errors,
11/// particularly effective in regions with sharp gradients.
12///
13/// Key improvements over standard optimizers:
14/// - Gradient misalignment correction for competing loss terms
15/// - Adaptive parameter updates based on PDE residual variance
16/// - Smoother convergence in challenging PDE regions
17/// - Lower computational cost than second-order methods like SOAP
