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.

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.

The study compares two methods for computing spatial derivatives in physics‑informed neural networks (PINNs): automatic differentiation (AD) and Fourier spectral differentiation. Using identical neural architectures, training schedules, and data sampling, the authors evaluate both approaches on periodic PINNs for the Allen–Cahn, Korteweg–de Vries, and Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equations. Fourier spectral differentiation achieves significant speedups (2.90×–18.52×) and reduces GPU memory usage by 68.7%–94.1% while maintaining comparable solution accuracy.

The paper introduces Sensitivity‑Constrained Neural Operators (SC‑NOs), which augment standard neural operator training with sampled Jacobian supervision from differentiable solvers or discrete adjoints. By matching selected sensitivities during training, SC‑NOs improve forward prediction accuracy and significantly enhance gradient‑based inverse reconstruction for distributed fields. Experiments on advection–diffusion, RANS–Spalart–Allmaras, high‑dimensional gridded inputs, and a shallow‑water tsunami source‑inversion case demonstrate that SC‑NOs achieve a better accuracy–cost trade‑off and enable near‑real‑time wave‑propagation forecasting from sparse observations.
