• Abstract: Hyperbolic conservation laws govern a wide range of transport-driven dynamics featuring shocks, contact discontinuities, and complex wave interactions, posing distinct challenges for deep-learning-based surrogate modeling. While classical numerical methods provide robust and physically admissible solutions, their computational cost restricts applicability in many-query tasks such as parametric studies and design optimization. Conversely, existing neural surrogates offer rapid inference but often fail to respect intrinsic PDE structures, leading to non-physical artifacts, rollout instability, and poor generalization. We present an interpretable, structure-preserving graph neural solver that bridges classical numerical principles with graph neural networks (GNNs). The network is designed as a learned reconstruction-and-flux operator rather than a black-box state updater, thereby inherently preserving key properties such as local conservation and upwinding. Inspired by Arbitrary high-order DERivatives schemes, we further recast message-passing GNNs as high-order space-time predictors, enabling conservative and stable neural updates with large time steps. Evaluation is performed on challenging supersonic flow benchmarks spanning broad parametric variations in geometry, initial/boundary conditions, and flow regimes. The neural solver achieves superior long-horizon rollout stability and accuracy compared with strong surrogate baselines, outperforms low-order discretizations, and delivers orders-of-magnitude runtime speedups over high-resolution simulations.

• Improving Adversarial Robustness of DEQs with Explicit Regulations Along the Neural Dynamics [26.94367957377311]
  Deep equilibrium (DEQ) models replace the multiple-layer stacking of conventional deep networks with a fixed-point iteration of a single-layer transformation. Existing works improve the robustness of general DEQ models with the widely-used adversarial training (AT) framework, but they fail to exploit the structural uniquenesses of DEQ models. We propose reducing prediction entropy by progressively updating inputs along the neural dynamics. Our methods substantially increase the robustness of DEQ models and even outperform the strong deep network baselines.
