We introduce the Transformed Generative Pre-Trained Physics-Informed Neural Networks (TGPT-PINN) for accomplishing nonlinear model order reduction (MOR) of transport-dominated partial differential equations in an MOR-integrating PINNs framework. Building on the recent development of the GPT-PINN that is a network-of-networks design achieving snapshot-based model reduction, we design and test a novel paradigm for nonlinear model reduction that can effectively tackle problems with parameter-dependent discontinuities. Through incorporation of a shock-capturing loss function component as well as a parameter-dependent transform layer, the TGPT-PINN overcomes the limitations of linear model reduction in the transport-dominated regime. We demonstrate this new capability for nonlinear model reduction in the PINNs framework by several nontrivial parametric partial differential equations.

Machine-learning interatomic potentials have emerged as a revolutionary class of force-field models in molecular simulations, delivering quantum-mechanical accuracy at a fraction of the computational cost and enabling the simulation of large-scale systems over extended timescales. However, they often focus on modeling local environments, neglecting crucial long-range interactions. We propose a Sum-of-Gaussians Neural Network (SOG-Net), a lightweight and versatile framework for integrating long-range interactions into machine learning force field. The SOG-Net employs a latent-variable learning network that seamlessly bridges short-range and long-range components, coupled with an efficient Fourier convolution layer that incorporates long-range effects. By learning sum-of-Gaussians multipliers across different convolution layers, the SOG-Net adaptively captures diverse long-range decay behaviors while maintaining close-to-linear computational complexity during training and simulation via non-uniform fast Fourier transforms. The method is demonstrated effective for a broad range of long-range systems.

Long-range interactions such as electrostatics and dispersion remain a central bottleneck for machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs), especially in ionic, polar and interfacial systems. Ewald-based reciprocal-space mechanisms provide a physically grounded route for capturing these nonlocal effects, but often require dense Fourier grids and can become memory-limited at scale. This problem is particularly pronounced in molecular dynamics, where high efficiency requirements make accurate long-range modelling particularly costly. Here we introduce PSWF-LR, an exponent-aware long-range framework based on prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) that can be easily incorporated into existing model architectures. Its core components are PSWF-based mollification and atom-grid spreading, which enable compact and efficient representation of arbitrary inverse-power channels $1/r^p$ while treating the decay exponent as a physical prior. Across diverse long-range benchmarks, PSWF-LR reduces Fourier-mode requirements, improves energy and force accuracy, accelerates production-level simulations by about threefold, and extends long-range MLIP simulations beyond the memory limits of conventional MLIPs.
