Shared Physics Responses Recover Hidden Rankings in Neural Operator Libraries

The paper introduces a method for selecting the best neural‑operator model during deployment without needing high‑fidelity reference solutions. By using a squared Hilbert‑space loss, the authors show that ranking a finite library of models depends only on the low‑dimensional span of candidate differences, enabling simultaneous scoring of all models with a single anchor‑based linearized response of the governing equation. This shared physical diagnostic accurately recovered over 99.6% of pairwise preferences and 99.0% of optimal checkpoints across diverse Fourier and convolutional operator libraries for fluid, reaction‑diffusion, and wave dynamics, and often outperformed the best individual candidates.

Test-time Generalization for Physics through Neural Operator Splitting

arXiv:2602. 00884v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural operators have shown promise in learning solution maps of partial differential equations (PDEs), but they often struggle to generalize when test inputs lie outside the training distribution, such as novel initial conditions, unseen PDE coefficients or unseen physics.

On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

arXiv:2606. 06164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data.

Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction: Embedding PDE Consistency into Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification for Neural Operators

Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction (PI‑CP) embeds PDE residuals into the nonconformity score of split conformal prediction, yielding distribution‑free prediction intervals with provable coverage that adapt spatially to physics violations. The method demonstrates consistent 89‑91% coverage across six physics scenarios, outperforming MC Dropout and Deep Ensembles, while Fourier Neural Operators (FNO) achieve superior accuracy over CNN and DeepONet. Additionally, the authors prove that FNO’s translation equivariance limits its ability to solve PDEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and show that adding coordinate channels can reduce error by up to 63×.

Transolver-$\sigma$: Joint Spectral-Physical Subspace Modeling for Neural PDE Solving

Transolver‑σ is a neural PDE solver that jointly models spectral and physical subspaces to improve accuracy in both one‑step and autoregressive rollouts. The method uses adaptive physical-state interactions, Slice‑Residual Physics‑Attention, and an axis‑factorized Fourier operator to enable information exchange between representations. Across five standard PDE benchmarks, Transolver‑σ reduces benchmark‑averaged relative error by 33.4% compared to the strongest baseline and shows strong performance on coupled multiphysics systems and real‑world fluid and combustion data.

On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data. By incorporating physical constraints into the training objective, PINOs combine the cross-instance generalization of neural operators with the data efficiency of physics-informed learning.

Physics-Informed Neural Plasticity: PDE Solvers That Reshape Themselves

Physics-informed neural PDE solvers typically keep a fixed representation while adapting parameters, which limits performance on heterogeneous problems. The authors propose physics-informed neural plasticity, allowing the representation itself to reshape during training. Their ReCAP method dynamically redistributes capacity via local enrichment, residual-directed splitting, gate-based pruning, and function-aware merging, achieving the lowest relative $L^2$ error on five challenging 3D and 4D benchmarks and reducing error by 10.7%–27.5% compared to the best competing solvers.
