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.

Solution-space heterogeneity shapes federated learning dynamics across partial differential equations

The paper introduces a new federated learning protocol for partial differential equations called solution-space PDE-Dirichlet, which transforms continuous supervised responses into reusable solution bins and measures client separation via optimal transport. It establishes an exact inverse relationship between population allocation heterogeneity and Dirichlet concentration, and shows how response heterogeneity can cause gradient disagreement, local-update dispersion, and parameter divergence. Experiments on seven PDE tasks, three neural-operator families, and five random seeds demonstrate that lower concentration consistently increases solution distance and optimization heterogeneity, with the most pronounced error increase observed in low-viscosity Burgers equations.
