Error-Conditioned Neural Solvers

arXiv:2606. 27354v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural surrogate models offer fast approximate mappings from PDE parameters to solutions, but they typically treat solving as a purely statistical task: once trained, they struggle to correct their own constraint violations and extrapolate beyond the training distribution.

Multi-stage neural operator learning with application for convolutions

The paper introduces two multi-stage neural operator learning frameworks—Deep Collocation Neural Operator (DCNO) and Deep Galerkin Neural Operator (DGNO)—for efficiently computing convolution integrals. DCNO is a supervised method that iteratively refines operator approximations by learning residuals from data pairs, while DGNO is an unsupervised approach that uses the weak form of a PDE residual when the operator can be represented by a PDE. Both frameworks build basis operators across multiple training stages, yielding markedly higher accuracy than one-shot learning and achieving near machine‑precision results for convolution problems, with significant efficiency gains for repeated queries or parametric variations.

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.

Sparse Sum-of-Squares Layers for Certified Learning

The paper introduces Sparse Sum-of-Squares (SOS) Layers, a new type of differentiable layer that reuses the sparse structure of forward semidefinite programming (SDP) solves during backpropagation. By avoiding dense certificate construction, the method achieves up to 2.7× faster warm‑call times and reduces memory usage from 160 GiB to 1.7 GiB on large problems. Experiments demonstrate its effectiveness across sparse polynomial certification, control, combinatorial relaxations, robotics, oscillator chains, and pose‑graph synchronization, achieving zero certified violations on unseen instances with far fewer optimization solves than finite‑difference approaches.

Linearized subspace refinement framework to expose hidden accuracy in trained neural networks

The paper introduces Linearized Subspace Refinement (LSR), a post‑training framework that uses the local linearized model of a trained neural network to compute a low‑dimensional correction via a reduced least‑squares problem. LSR is architecture‑agnostic and improves accuracy across tasks such as function approximation, operator learning, physics‑informed fine‑tuning, and noisy inverse problems, often achieving order‑of‑magnitude error reductions. The method reveals that standard training can leave significant accuracy plateaus due to numerical ill‑conditioning, and it offers a subspace rank that balances correction strength, stability, and noise sensitivity.
