Autoregression-Free Neural Operators for Time-Dependent PDEs 文章

arXiv:2605.25413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural operators learn mappings from function-dependent inputs to solutions, providing an effective framework for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). For time-dependent PDEs, existing methods typically perform long-horizon prediction through autoregressive rollout directly in high-dimensional physical field spaces, where each predicted state is recursively fed back as the input for the next step. Although effective for short-term prediction, this autoregressive rollout and the lack of continuous-time modeling lead to progressive error accumulation over long-horizon rollouts. In this work, we propose Autoregression-Free Neural Operators (AFNO), which map the time evolution of PDEs into a latent space and model continuous-time vector fields within it.
