Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction (PI‑CP) embeds PDE residuals into the nonconformity score of split conformal prediction, yielding distribution‑free prediction intervals with provable coverage that adapt spatially to physics violations. The method demonstrates consistent 89‑91% coverage across six physics scenarios, outperforming MC Dropout and Deep Ensembles, while Fourier Neural Operators (FNO) achieve superior accuracy over CNN and DeepONet. Additionally, the authors prove that FNO’s translation equivariance limits its ability to solve PDEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and show that adding coordinate channels can reduce error by up to 63×.

arXiv:2608. 12624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structure-preserving machine learning embeds physical structure directly into model architectures, yet uncertainty quantification (UQ) for such hard-constrained models remains limited because standard UQ methods may violate the encoded admissibility conditions, require architectural modifications, or impose substantial computational costs.

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. By incorporating physical constraints into the training objective, PINOs combine the cross-instance generalization of neural operators with the data efficiency of physics-informed learning.

The paper introduces a method for selecting the best neural‑operator model during deployment without needing high‑fidelity reference solutions. By using a squared Hilbert‑space loss, the authors show that ranking a finite library of models depends only on the low‑dimensional span of candidate differences, enabling simultaneous scoring of all models with a single anchor‑based linearized response of the governing equation. This shared physical diagnostic accurately recovered over 99.6% of pairwise preferences and 99.0% of optimal checkpoints across diverse Fourier and convolutional operator libraries for fluid, reaction‑diffusion, and wave dynamics, and often outperformed the best individual candidates.

arXiv:2512. 19643v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Numerical simulation of time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) is central to scientific and engineering applications, but high-fidelity solvers are often prohibitively expensive for long-horizon or time-critical settings.

The paper presents a theoretical framework for certifying the accuracy of physics‑informed neural networks (PINNs) used to solve partial differential equations. It derives generalization bounds that link the residual loss minimized during training to the actual error in the solution space, showing that if the neural approximation stays within a compact subset, a vanishing residual guarantees convergence to the true solution. Deterministic and probabilistic convergence results are provided, offering explicit error guarantees based on residual, boundary, and initial condition errors.
