Adaptive hybrid coupling with operator inference, the overlapping Schwarz alternating method and reinforcement learning

The paper presents a reinforcement‑learning framework that dynamically selects between full‑order models (FOMs) and reduced‑order models (ROMs) in hybrid domain decomposition simulations using the overlapping Schwarz alternating method (O‑SAM). Offline‑trained Deep Q‑networks choose subdomain‑local FOMs or pre‑trained Operator Inference ROMs based on a reward that balances accuracy, computational cost, and model‑switching frequency, and the learned policies are deployed on unseen problem instances without needing a reference FOM solution. Experiments on a 1D advection‑diffusion problem and a 3D elastic wave propagation benchmark show that the RL‑guided policies adaptively allocate high‑fidelity resolution as features propagate, outperforming static FOM/ROM assignments and demonstrating the feasibility of predictive online fidelity adaptation in Schwarz‑based hybrid simulations.

Single-condition neural solvers encode transferable response spaces for parametric differential equations

The paper demonstrates that a neural solver trained on a single condition can generate a reusable response space via its output Jacobian, enabling efficient cross‑condition solution transfer. By introducing Linearized Subspace Transfer (LST) and Active Transfer Modeling (ATM), the authors recover target solutions through residual minimization and selectively acquire additional response spaces based on coverage indicators. Experiments on six PDE systems show that this approach reduces error and offline construction cost compared to physics‑informed baselines, achieving significant accuracy gains and rapid target adaptation.

Generalizing HVAC Control With Domain Randomized Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces NOMAD‑RL, a reinforcement learning controller for HVAC systems that learns to adapt across diverse thermal zones via a universal thermostat interface. It employs an adaptive domain randomization scheme using physics‑informed normalizing flows to generate realistic, multimodal training data, enabling the recurrent policy to handle partial observability. Experiments show NOMAD‑RL outperforms constant‑setpoint PID and non‑randomized RL, and rivals well‑tuned model predictive control, especially in multi‑zone scenarios.
