• Abstract: The discovery of ordered structures in pattern-forming systems, such as the Landau-Brazovskii (LB) model, is often limited by the sensitivity of numerical solvers to the prescribed computational domain size. Incompatible domains induce artificial stress, frequently trapping the system in high-energy metastable configurations. To resolve this issue, we propose a Geometry-Adaptive Deep Variational Framework (GeoDVF) that jointly optimizes the infinite-dimensional order parameter, which is parameterized by a neural network, and the finite-dimensional geometric parameters of the computational domain. By explicitly treating the domain size as trainable variables within the variational formulation, GeoDVF naturally eliminates artificial stress during training. To escape the attraction basin of the disordered phase under small initializations, we introduce a warmup penalty mechanism, which effectively destabilizes the disordered phase, enabling the spontaneous nucleation of complex three-dimensional ordered phases from random initializations. Furthermore, we design a guided initialization protocol to resolve topologically intricate phases associated with narrow basins of attraction. Extensive numerical experiments show that GeoDVF provides a robust and geometry-consistent variational solver capable of identifying both stable and metastable states without prior knowledge.
