Topological Neural Operators

arXiv:2606. 09806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Topological Neural Operators (TNOs), a principled framework for operator learning on cell complexes that lifts neural operators (NOs) from functions on points and/or edges to topological domains.

Combinatorial Network-Based Manifold Topological Deep Learning for Image Analysis

Combinatorial Network-Based Manifold Topological Deep Learning (CNMTDL) is a new framework that represents medical images as discrete manifolds and decomposes them into three Hodge components. Features from these components are concatenated and fed into a combinatorial complex architecture, enabling higher‑order message passing between 0‑cells and 2‑cells via attention‑based blocks. CNMTDL was evaluated on six 2D and 3D datasets from the MedMNIST v2 benchmark, showing improved performance for medical image analysis.

Learning Spectrally Optimised Mesh-Free Discretisations

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.

Elucidating the Conformal Structure of the Brinkman Penalisation Method for Geometry-Adapted, Structure-Preserving Operator Learning of Hamiltonian PDEs

The paper investigates how the Brinkman penalisation method, which embeds complex domain boundary-value problems into a simple computational box, preserves a multi-conformal symplectic structure for multi-symplectic Hamiltonian PDEs under a specific compatibility condition. It demonstrates that this leads to an exact local conservation law where the multi-symplectic two-form is conserved in the fluid region and decays exponentially inside the solid. Building on these findings, the authors propose structure-preserving numerical integrators via Strang splitting and conformal symplectic neural operators that interleave exact dissipative flows with learnable multi-symplectic evolution operators, and validate their approach with numerical experiments on wave and electromagnetic scattering.
