A Geometry-Aware Operator Learning Framework for Interface Problems on Varying Domains
This work provides a data-efficient tool for varying-domain simulations, potentially enabling real-time shape optimization in design and optimization applications.
The paper tackles solving Partial Differential Equation interface problems on varying domains, which is computationally prohibitive for traditional solvers, by proposing a geometry-aware neural operator framework that integrates the Tailored Finite Point Method to reduce memory consumption and achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and robustness in numerical experiments.
Solving Partial Differential Equation (PDE) interface problems on varying domains is a critical task in design and optimization, yet it remains computationally prohibitive for traditional solvers. Although operator learning has shown promise on fixed geometries, its potential for geometry-dependent interface problems has been largely unexplored. To bridge this gap, we propose an extension-based neural operator framework applicable to general linear interface problems. A key innovation of our method is the integration of the Tailored Finite Point Method (TFPM) with our base network, which reduces memory consumption and effectively alleviates the curse of dimensionality. On the theoretical front, we establish the continuity of the Helmholtz operator with respect to domain perturbations and provide rigorous error estimates for the proposed encodings. Comprehensive numerical experiments demonstrate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and robustness. Consequently, this work provides a powerful, data-efficient tool for varying-domain simulations, offering new possibilities for real-time shape optimization.
