Green-Routed Neural Operators: Physics Determines Where the Network Reads

arXiv:2610. 05337v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We identify a mismatch between the physical role of transport fields in many PDEs and their usual role in neural operators: PDEs use them to select read coordinates, whereas neural operators typically treat them only as input values.

Error-Conditioned Neural Solvers

arXiv:2606. 27354v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural surrogate models offer fast approximate mappings from PDE parameters to solutions, but they typically treat solving as a purely statistical task: once trained, they struggle to correct their own constraint violations and extrapolate beyond the training distribution.

Same Target, Different Origins: Aligning Latent Rollout for Consistent PDE Emulation

The paper introduces Align Latent Rollout (ALR), a regularization technique for neural PDE solvers that encourages consistency across different rollout origins. ALR uses a second‑order Taylor analysis to define two objectives: zeroth‑order consistency aligning latent states at a shared target time, and first‑order consistency aligning local evolution responses to perturbations. The method can be applied to various neural PDE solvers without altering their architectures and demonstrates improved prediction accuracy and reduced discrepancies across rollout origins in multiple benchmarks.

Transferability of Learned States in Neural PDE Solvers

The paper introduces a framework for evaluating how well learned states from neural PDE solvers can be reused in new contexts. By separating solution accuracy, learning contribution, and numerical utility through paired state comparisons and cost accounting, the authors audit 12 papers and conduct experiments on linear PDE families, Fourier neural operators, and convolutional networks. Their results show that matched state comparisons and downstream computational evidence can lead to significant savings in conjugate‑gradient iterations and demonstrate finite‑budget pretraining value.

Transolver-$\sigma$: Joint Spectral-Physical Subspace Modeling for Neural PDE Solving

Transolver‑σ is a neural PDE solver that jointly models spectral and physical subspaces to improve accuracy in both one‑step and autoregressive rollouts. The method uses adaptive physical-state interactions, Slice‑Residual Physics‑Attention, and an axis‑factorized Fourier operator to enable information exchange between representations. Across five standard PDE benchmarks, Transolver‑σ reduces benchmark‑averaged relative error by 33.4% compared to the strongest baseline and shows strong performance on coupled multiphysics systems and real‑world fluid and combustion data.
