Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have garnered significant attention for their success in learning the representation of homophilic or heterophilic graphs. However, they cannot generalize well to real-world graphs with different levels of homophily. In response, the Possion-Charlier Network (PCNet) \cite{li2024pc}, the previous work, allows graph representation to be learned from heterophily to homophily. Although PCNet alleviates the heterophily issue, there remain some challenges in further improving the efficacy and efficiency. In this paper, we simplify PCNet and enhance its robustness. We first extend the filter order to continuous values and reduce its parameters. Two variants with adaptive neighborhood sizes are implemented. Theoretical analysis shows our model's robustness to graph structure perturbations or adversarial attacks. We validate our approach through semi-supervised learning tasks on various datasets representing both homophilic and heterophilic graphs.

Solving large-scale linear programming (LP) problems is an important task in various areas such as communication networks, power systems, finance and logistics. Recently, two distinct approaches have emerged to expedite LP solving: (i) First-order methods (FOMs); (ii) Learning to optimize (L2O). In this work, we propose an FOM-unrolled neural network (NN) called PDHG-Net, and propose a two-stage L2O method to solve large-scale LP problems. The new architecture PDHG-Net is designed by unrolling the recently emerged PDHG method into a neural network, combined with channel-expansion techniques borrowed from graph neural networks. We prove that the proposed PDHG-Net can recover PDHG algorithm, thus can approximate optimal solutions of LP instances with a polynomial number of neurons. We propose a two-stage inference approach: first use PDHG-Net to generate an approximate solution, and then apply PDHG algorithm to further improve the solution. Experiments show that our approach can significantly accelerate LP solving, achieving up to a 3$\times$ speedup compared to FOMs for large-scale LP problems.
