On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

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.

StablePDENet: Enhancing Neural Operator Stability through Physics-Informed Residual-Sensitivity Regularization

The paper introduces StablePDENet, a physics-informed adversarial training framework that regularizes the residual sensitivity of neural operators to improve stability against input perturbations. The method formulates operator learning as a min–max optimization, where a physics-based projected‑gradient adversary generates perturbations and the outer objective combines the attacked physics loss with a normalized residual‑sensitivity penalty. Experiments on benchmark problems show that StablePDENet outperforms PI‑DeepONet and its adversarial variant in accuracy under adversarial attacks while maintaining competitive performance on clean data, and it also enhances generalization and highlights the distinction between model sensitivity and intrinsic operator ill‑conditioning.

Gradient Surgery for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

The paper introduces PAM-GS, a physics-aware gradient surgery technique for Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). It addresses the highly imbalanced multi-task optimisation problem in PINNs by adaptively mitigating task interference based on observed gradient conflicts. Experiments on four PDE benchmarks show that PAM-GS achieves competitive solution accuracy while maintaining strong task-balanced performance, outperforming existing methods on most problems.

Safe Domain Adaptation for Physics: Overcoming Nuisances, Label Shifts, and Simulation Priors

The paper introduces a new approach to domain adaptation in physics, addressing the fact that simulations often differ from experimental data not only in nuisances but also in the target quantity distribution. By studying a toy air‑shower benchmark with separate nuisance, simulation, and spectrum shifts, the authors show that standard adversarial adaptation can misalign spectra, leading to bias. They propose adaptive domain adaptation that reweights simulated events to focus on genuine physical mismatches and provide a label‑free rule for selecting the best model configuration.

Test-time Generalization for Physics through Neural Operator Splitting

arXiv:2602. 00884v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural operators have shown promise in learning solution maps of partial differential equations (PDEs), but they often struggle to generalize when test inputs lie outside the training distribution, such as novel initial conditions, unseen PDE coefficients or unseen physics.

Shared Physics Responses Recover Hidden Rankings in Neural Operator Libraries

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.
