arXiv:2607. 24777v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Architected metamaterials derive their functions from structure, creating vast opportunities to program physical responses through topology design.
arXiv:2607. 14652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Topology optimisation (TO) often requires repeated finite element analysis and sensitivity-based material updates, which can be costly when multiple candidate designs are needed under varying physical and design conditions.
arXiv:2608. 16080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Thermal-aware optimization of multi-die 3D integrated circuits evaluates many designs, each a costly heat-equation solve.
arXiv:2606. 29272v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Technology computer-aided design (TCAD) semiconductor device simulation is fundamentally constrained by the high computational cost of iteratively solving coupled drift-diffusion equations.
arXiv:2607. 14233v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have had a broad research impact in modeling domains governed by partial differential equations (PDE).
The inverse design of physical systems governed by partial differential equations is computationally demanding due to the high dimensionality and non-convexity of design spaces. Generative models for inverse design often lack robustness and transferability, whereas evolutionary strategies are robust but struggle in high-dimensional spaces.
arXiv:2606. 12994v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Data-driven engineering design is constrained by the lack of large-scale 3D datasets that pair geometry with physics-based performance labels.
arXiv:2608. 06894v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural operators have become a central tool for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), with spectral operators offering efficient global mixing across spatial locations.
arXiv:2606. 04165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-precision calorimeter simulation at current and future colliders imposes rapidly growing computational demands, motivating the development of machine-learning surrogates for traditional Monte Carlo tools such as Geant4.
arXiv:2607. 11974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most neural partial differential equation (PDE) surrogates learn how fields evolve after a grid has already been chosen.
arXiv:2608. 02036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Extending the neural-operator element method from individually trained, fixed-geometry neural elements to a library of reusable, geometry-parameterized element types fails structurally: a field-predicting operator trained by value regression induces an energy whose assembled Hessian is indefinite, and Newton converges to spurious minima (247% error) even with 1%-accurate field predictions.
