Elucidating the Conformal Structure of the Brinkman Penalisation Method for Geometry-Adapted, Structure-Preserving Operator Learning of Hamiltonian PDEs

The paper investigates how the Brinkman penalisation method, which embeds complex domain boundary-value problems into a simple computational box, preserves a multi-conformal symplectic structure for multi-symplectic Hamiltonian PDEs under a specific compatibility condition. It demonstrates that this leads to an exact local conservation law where the multi-symplectic two-form is conserved in the fluid region and decays exponentially inside the solid. Building on these findings, the authors propose structure-preserving numerical integrators via Strang splitting and conformal symplectic neural operators that interleave exact dissipative flows with learnable multi-symplectic evolution operators, and validate their approach with numerical experiments on wave and electromagnetic scattering.

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.

Learning Spectrally Optimised Mesh-Free Discretisations

The paper introduces Spectrally Optimised Neural Discretisations (SpeND), a mesh‑free framework that learns discretisation weights from local stencil geometry on unstructured point clouds. By embedding discrete moment conditions into the network architecture, SpeND guarantees polynomial consistency and allows the weights to be optimised for spectral accuracy over a chosen wavenumber band, using an unsupervised Fourier‑mode loss. The resulting operators are PDE‑agnostic, perform well on Poisson, Burgers, and Navier–Stokes equations, and can reduce wall‑clock time by 3–20× compared to existing mesh‑free methods at the same accuracy.

Learning Spectral-Like Mesh-Free Discretisations

The paper introduces Spectral-like Neural Discretisation (SpeND), a mesh‑free method that learns stencil weights via a neural network to approximate the modal response of a spectral operator across a specified band of wavenumbers. By projecting the network output onto the space of polynomial‑consistent weights, SpeND ensures exact consistency while minimizing dispersion and dissipation errors in a self‑supervised, physics‑agnostic manner. Experiments on disordered 2‑D node sets demonstrate that the learned fourth‑order operator matches the exact spectral response over a wider band than traditional LABFM or structured‑grid finite differences, and retains fourth‑order convergence upon refinement.
