The paper introduces equation recast, a method that transforms parametric operator learning into learning a single canonical operator. By analytically deriving parameter-induced variations from the governing equations and incorporating them as effective sources, the approach enables zero‑shot predictions across new parameter regimes and supports extrapolation in multi‑parameter, nonlinear, and singular PDE settings. It also integrates sparse heterogeneous datasets, uses loss of convergence as an internal warning, and demonstrates unification of electron‑temperature data from multiple tokamak geometries in high‑fidelity nuclear fusion simulations.

The paper presents a probabilistic neural surrogate for scrape‑off‑layer (SOL) plasma simulations in tokamaks. By mapping the curvilinear SOLPS‑ITER mesh to three fixed‑size image tensors, the authors preserve geometric adjacency and enable a convolutional network to process the mesh without loss of information. A conditional flow‑matching model is trained on this representation, producing efficient, scalable predictions that capture multiple plausible outcomes—such as distinct hot and cold modes—near the divertor detachment transition and correctly recover known bifurcations in synthetic data.

arXiv:2606. 07550v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) offers a promising route for developing plasma controllers from historical tokamak data, since online trial-and-error on real devices is costly and risky.
