Abstract
Neural operator methods provide a novel approach for solving or learning the complex mappings from parameters to solutions arising from intricate physical systems. In this talk, I will cover the foundational aspects of neural operators, encompassing both theoretical frameworks and algorithmic developments, including some well-known neural operator architectures. Additionally, I will share our recent work on applying the neural operator method to multiscale partial differential equations (PDEs). To tackle the challenges of multiscale PDEs, we have developed a neural operator with a hierarchical matrix architecture. This design enables the efficient computation of features in a nested manner, maintaining a manageable linear computational cost. Furthermore, we have implemented an empirical loss function to mitigate the spectral bias in the neural operator-based approximations of multiscale functions.
