The paper introduces the Local Gradient Neural Operator (LGNO), a lightweight and interpretable neural operator designed for field temporal evolution prediction and source identification in mechanical problems. LGNO leverages nonlinear gradient discretization priors and multilayer perceptron convolutional layers to learn translation‑invariant local kernels resembling discrete stencils, with a zero‑consistent stencil factorization that separates coefficient learning from field reconstruction. Experiments on a range of PDE benchmarks—including linear, nonlinear, static, dynamic, low‑ and high‑dimensional cases—demonstrate that LGNO achieves comparable accuracy to global neural operators while using fewer parameters and maintaining rollout stability across diffusion, flow, and quantum phenomena.

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.

The paper presents a method to recover unknown functional terms in partial differential equations (PDEs) by embedding neural networks into standard parameter estimation workflows. By training on data, the approach learns interaction kernels and external potentials in nonlocal aggregation‑diffusion equations, achieving high accuracy. The study systematically investigates how reconstruction accuracy depends on solution diversity, sampling density, and measurement noise.
arXiv:2606. 06164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data.
The paper introduces the Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine (PI‑SCM), a backpropagation‑free neural network designed for solving nonlinear differential equations. By analytically evaluating local Jacobians, PI‑SCM linearizes the physical loss, enabling optimal weight determination through generalized linear least squares and avoiding iterative nonlinear optimization. The authors present a progressive algorithmic suite—PI‑SC‑I, PI‑SC‑II, and PI‑SC‑III—prove their universal approximation properties, and show through experiments that PI‑SCM achieves high‑fidelity predictions and parameter identification while accelerating training by orders of magnitude compared to standard PINNs.
arXiv:2606. 24999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) with unknown coefficients arise widely in scientific machine learning, including continuous-time reinforcement learning, yet solving them efficiently in a data-driven way remains challenging.
The paper introduces StablePDENet, a physics-informed adversarial training framework that regularizes the residual sensitivity of neural operators to improve stability against input perturbations. The method formulates operator learning as a min–max optimization, where a physics-based projected‑gradient adversary generates perturbations and the outer objective combines the attacked physics loss with a normalized residual‑sensitivity penalty. Experiments on benchmark problems show that StablePDENet outperforms PI‑DeepONet and its adversarial variant in accuracy under adversarial attacks while maintaining competitive performance on clean data, and it also enhances generalization and highlights the distinction between model sensitivity and intrinsic operator ill‑conditioning.
