Monte Carlo-Type Neural Operator for Differential Equations
- 直接学习核函数,通过随机采样近似积分算子
- 在标准1D PDE基准上精度媲美现有方法,计算高效
- 理论证明偏差与方差有界,适合跨网格分辨率任务
蒙特卡洛型神经算子(MCNO)提出一种学习一维偏微分方程(PDE)解算子的框架,通过直接学习核函数并采用蒙特卡洛方法近似相应积分算子。不同于依赖频域表示和平移不变核假设的傅里叶神经算子(FNO),MCNO无需此类限制。核函数以采样输入输出对上的可学习张量形式表示,采样仅需一次,均匀随机从离散网格中选取。该设计使模型能泛化至多种网格分辨率,无需固定全局基函数或训练时重复采样;同时通过插值步骤实现任意输入输出网格间的映射,增强灵活性。在标准1D PDE基准测试中,MCNO展现出与现有方法相当的精度,且计算成本低。我们还提供了理论分析,证明在温和正则性假设下,蒙特卡洛估计器具有有界偏差与方差。该结果适用于任意空间维度,表明MCNO可能自然扩展至高维问题。更广泛地,本工作探索了蒙特卡洛积分如何融入神经算子框架以处理连续域上的PDE,为频域方法(如FNO)和基于图的蒙特卡洛方法(如GNO)提供了一种理论支持的替代方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The Monte Carlo-type Neural Operator (MCNO) introduces a framework for learning solution operators of one-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) by directly learning the kernel function and approximating the associated integral operator using a Monte Carlo-type approach. Unlike Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs), which rely on spectral representations and assume translation-invariant kernels, MCNO makes no such assumptions. The kernel is represented as a learnable tensor over sampled input-output pairs, and sampling is performed once, uniformly at random from a discretized grid. This design enables generalization across multiple grid resolutions without relying on fixed global basis functions or repeated sampling during training, while an interpolation step maps between arbitrary input and output grids to further enhance flexibility. Experiments on standard 1D PDE benchmarks show that MCNO achieves competitive accuracy with efficient computational cost. We also provide a theoretical analysis proving that the Monte Carlo estimator yields a bounded bias and variance under mild regularity assumptions. This result holds in any spatial dimension, suggesting that MCNO may extend naturally beyond one-dimensional problems. More broadly, this work explores how Monte Carlo-type integration can be incorporated into neural operator frameworks for continuous-domain PDEs, providing a theoretically supported alternative to spectral methods (such as FNO) and to graph-based Monte Carlo approaches (such as the Graph Kernel Neural Operator, GNO).
