contents Neutrinos can undergo fast flavor conversions (FFCs) within extremely dense astrophysical environments such as core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and neutron star mergers (NSMs). In this study, we explore FFCs in a \emph{multi-energy} neutrino gas, revealing that when the FFC growth rate significantly exceeds that of the vacuum Hamiltonian, all neutrinos (regardless of energy) share a common survival probability dictated by the energy-integrated neutrino spectrum. We then employ physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to predict the asymptotic outcomes of FFCs within such a multi-energy neutrino gas. These predictions are based on the first two moments of neutrino angular distributions for each energy bin, typically available in state-of-the-art CCSN and NSM simulations. Our PINNs achieve errors as low as $\lesssim6\%$ and $\lesssim 18\%$ for predicting the number of neutrinos in the electron channel and the relative absolute error in the neutrino moments, respectively.
