• Abstract summary: We propose Physical Invariant Attention Neural Operator (PIANO) to decipher and integrate the physical invariants (PI) for operator learning from the PDE series with various physical mechanisms. Compared to existing techniques, PIANO can reduce the relative error by 13.6%-82.2% on PDE forecasting tasks across varying coefficients, forces, or boundary conditions.

• Abstract: Neural operators have been explored as surrogate models for simulating physical systems to overcome the limitations of traditional partial differential equation (PDE) solvers. However, most existing operator learning methods assume that the data originate from a single physical mechanism, limiting their applicability and performance in more realistic scenarios. To this end, we propose Physical Invariant Attention Neural Operator (PIANO) to decipher and integrate the physical invariants (PI) for operator learning from the PDE series with various physical mechanisms. PIANO employs self-supervised learning to extract physical knowledge and attention mechanisms to integrate them into dynamic convolutional layers. Compared to existing techniques, PIANO can reduce the relative error by 13.6\%-82.2\% on PDE forecasting tasks across varying coefficients, forces, or boundary conditions. Additionally, varied downstream tasks reveal that the PI embeddings deciphered by PIANO align well with the underlying invariants in the PDE systems, verifying the physical significance of PIANO.

  Recent work in scientific machine learning has developed so-called physics-informed neural network (PINN) models. We demonstrate that, while existing PINN methodologies can learn good models for relatively trivial problems, they can easily fail to learn relevant physical phenomena even for simple PDEs. We show that these possible failure modes are not due to the lack of expressivity in the NN architecture, but that the PINN's setup makes the loss landscape very hard to optimize.

Here, we propose the first solution operator learning method that only requires one PDE solution, i.e., one-shot learning.
