A Constitutive Markov Physics-Informed Neural Operator (MPNO) for Autoregressive Stability in Transient Dynamics

The paper introduces a constitutive Markov physics‑informed neural operator (MPNO) designed to stabilize autoregressive predictions for transient‑dynamics PDEs with strong discontinuities. By modeling one‑step evolution as a row‑stochastic propagation operator and embedding material‑interface physics into a non‑negative symmetric adjacency matrix, MPNO guarantees a spectral radius ≤1, preventing exponential error growth. Experiments on Burgers’ equation and concrete‑penetration stress‑field prediction show that MPNO rolls out stably with bounded error, achieving comparable accuracy to the Fourier neural operator while using only a quarter of its parameters and delivering a 10^5× speedup over LS‑DYNA.

PG-KINN: A Physics-Informed Petrov-Galerkin Kolmogorov-Arnold Network for Solving Forward and Inverse PDEs

arXiv:2607. 20378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed learning of partial differential equations (PDEs) has been dominated by multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), whose spectral bias and dense parameterization limit both accuracy and interpretability.

GENERIC-FNO: Embedding Energy Conservation and Entropy Production into Fourier Neural Operators

arXiv:2606. 08343v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce GENERIC-FNO, the first neural operator to embed the full GENERIC (metriplectic) structure of nonequilibrium thermodynamics -- reversible, energy-conserving dynamics and irreversible, entropy-producing dynamics coupled through the degeneracy conditions -- directly in function space.

A variational physics-informed graph neural network for heterogeneous solid mechanics

The paper introduces a variational, label‑free physics‑informed graph neural network (PI‑GNN) that models heterogeneous solid mechanics by embedding material heterogeneity into the discretization rather than the neural network’s trial field. The PI‑GNN operates on a conforming adaptive mesh graph, assigns constitutive behavior per element, and minimizes the discrete total potential energy without penalty terms or interface weights, yielding a discrete energy equivalent to the finite element Ritz functional. Across small‑strain elasticity and finite‑strain Neo‑Hookean hyperelasticity in 2D and 3D, the method achieves von Mises errors below 3.58 % over a wide stiffness‑contrast range, outperforming strong‑form PINNs and reducing displacement errors significantly.
