contents This work proposes a Variational Physics-Informed Neural Network (VPINN) framework that integrates the Petrov-Galerkin formulation with deep neural networks (DNNs) for solving one-dimensional singularly perturbed boundary value problems (BVPs) and parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) involving one or two small parameters. The method adopts a nonlinear approximation in which the trial space is defined by neural network functions, while the test space is constructed from hat functions. The weak formulation is constructed using localized test functions, with interface penalty terms introduced to enhance numerical stability and accurately capture boundary layers. Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed via hard constraints, and source terms are computed using automatic differentiation. Numerical experiments on benchmark problems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, showing significantly improved accuracy in both the $L_2$ and maximum norms compared to the standard VPINN approach for one-dimensional singularly perturbed differential equations (SPDEs).
