Multi-Scale Message Passing Neural PDE Solvers
(2023)SAM Research ReportWe propose a novel multi-scale message passing neural network algorithm for learning the solutions of time-dependent PDEs. Our algorithm possesses both temporal and spatial multi-scale resolution features by incorporating multi-scale sequence models and graph gating modules in the encoder and processor, respectively. Benchmark numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms baselines, particularly ...Report -
A Monte-Carlo ab-initio algorithm for the multiscale simulation of compressible multiphase flows
(2023)SAM Research ReportWe propose a novel Monte-Carlo based ab-initio algorithm for directly computing the statistics for quantities of interest in an immiscible two-phase compressible flow. Our algorithm samples the underlying probability space and evolves these samples with a sharp interface front-tracking scheme. Consequently, statistical information is generated without resorting to any closure assumptions and information about the underlying microstructure ...Report -
A Survey on Oversmoothing in Graph Neural Networks
(2023)SAM Research ReportNode features of graph neural networks (GNNs) tend to become more similar with the increase of the network depth. This effect is known as over-smoothing, which we axiomatically define as the exponential convergence of suitable similarity measures on the node features. Our definition unifies previous approaches and gives rise to new quantitative measures of over-smoothing. Moreover, we empirically demonstrate this behavior for several ...Report -
Nonlinear Reconstruction for Operator Learning of PDEs with Discontinuities
(2022)SAM Research ReportA large class of hyperbolic and advection-dominated PDEs can have solutions with discontinuities. This paper investigates, both theoretically and empirically, the operator learning of PDEs with discontinuous solutions. We rigorously prove, in terms of lower approximation bounds, that methods which entail a linear reconstruction step (e.g. DeepONet or PCA-Net) fail to efficiently approximate the solution operator of such PDEs. In contrast, ...Report -

Convergence of vanishing capillarity approximations for scalar conservation laws with discontinuous fluxes
(2012)Research ReportFlow of two phases in a heterogeneous porous medium is modeled by a scalar conservation law with a discontinuous coefficient. As solutions of conservation laws with discontinuous coefficients depend explicitly on the underlying small scale effects, we consider a model where the relevant small scale effect is dynamic capillary pressure. We prove that the limit of vanishing dynamic capillary pressure exists and is a weak solution of the ...Report -
Estimates on the generalization error of Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for approximating PDEs II: A class of inverse problems
(2020)SAM Research ReportPhysics informed neural networks (PINNs) have recently been very successfully applied for efficiently approximating inverse problems for PDEs. We focus on a particular class of inverse problems, the so-called data assimilation or unique continuation problems, and prove rigorous estimates on the generalization error of PINNs approximating them. An abstract framework is presented and conditional stability estimates for the underlying inverse ...Report -
A well-balanced finite volume scheme for the Euler equations with gravitation
(2015)Research ReportContext <br/> Many problems in astrophysics feature flows which are close to hydrostatic equilibrium. However, standard numerical schemes for compressible hydrodynamics may be deficient in approximating this stationary state, in which the pressure gradient is nearly balanced by gravitational forces. <br/> Aims <br/> We aim to develop a second-order well-balanced scheme for the Euler equations. The scheme is designed to mimic a discrete ...Report
