- To address the initial singularity inherent in solutions to fractional partial differential equations (fPDEs), we propose an accelerated Alikhanov discretization formulation implemented on nonuniform time grids. Based on the physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) framework, we introduce an Alikhanov-extended fractional PINNs (XfPINNs) architecture that combines high-order temporal discretization and deep learning. The nonlocal memory term in fPDEs leads to high computational cost, while the weak singularity near $t\to 0^+$ can deteriorate accuracy on uniform meshes. To separate temporal discretization effects from optimization and sampling errors, we further develop an auxiliary time-marching configuration that enables auditable temporal-convergence studies under controlled training tolerances. This architecture can solve general nonlinear fPDEs. The XfPINNs approach is designed for forward and inverse problems, allowing for data-driven solution reconstruction and parameter estimation. First, the neural network approximates the solution of nonlinear fPDEs; then, an adaptive activation function accelerates convergence and enhances training efficiency. The optimization framework embeds a variational loss function constructed from the Alikhanov scheme, where the initial and boundary conditions are imposed using a combination of hard and soft constraints. Numerical experiments, including cases with known and unknown exact solutions which demonstrate the robustness, computational efficiency, and significant CPU time savings of the Alikhanov-XfPINNs method.
