The paper introduces Hypernetwork-Parameterized Spatially Adaptive Neural Operators (SANO) for learning partial differential equations (PDEs) with spatial heterogeneity. SANO replaces spatially shared parameterization with a continuous field of location-dependent operator parameters, generated by a coordinate-conditioned hypernetwork and interpolated via a Hyper-Neural Element mechanism. Experiments on 1‑, 2‑, and 3‑dimensional PDEs and perforated-domain elliptic benchmarks demonstrate that SANO consistently outperforms existing neural‑operator, hypernetwork‑based, and physics‑informed baselines.

Neural operators learn mappings between function spaces, but are typically developed with dense input-output training fields and fully observed inputs at inference. Many scientific problems require instead predicting solution fields from sparse, irregular, or partial observations under uncertainty.
arXiv:2606. 01172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modeling unknown latent functions from finite, irregularly sampled measurements is a recurring challenge across science and engineering.

HiLNO is a hierarchical latent neural operator that builds a fine‑to‑coarse‑to‑fine latent space and incorporates multi‑scale supervision and anisotropic Gaussian attention to preserve spatial information in PDE solutions with multiscale structures. The hierarchy reduces information loss during compression, while multi‑scale supervision aligns intermediate predictions with downsampled targets, and anisotropic attention facilitates feature transfer across scales. Experiments on standard PDE benchmarks and a large‑scale automotive aerodynamics task show that HiLNO achieves competitive accuracy while cutting parameter count by 84.4% and FLOPs by 69.2% compared with LinearNO, and it generalizes effectively to unseen spatial resolutions.

The paper introduces the Cluster Attention Neural Operator (CANO), a neural operator that uses a novel cross‑attention mechanism to dynamically cluster queries while keeping full‑resolution keys and values. This design eliminates the slice compression and weight‑sharing limitations of previous Transformer‑based operators, maintaining fast computation and global interactions. Experiments on a range of fluid and solid dynamics benchmarks—including Navier‑Stokes, Airfoil, Plasticity, Pipe Turbulence, and Composites—show that CANO achieves lower errors than existing baselines and demonstrates strong geometric adaptability and temporal consistency.

arXiv:2607. 19378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Subquadratic alternatives to attention require compromises when applied to multi-dimensional data: standard convolutions lack global receptive fields and input dependency, while recurrent models require rasterizing data such as images, volumes, and partial differential equation (PDE) into an ad-hoc $1\rm D$ scan order that violates their spatial structure.
