Physical simulations are essential tools across critical fields such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, chemistry, meteorology, etc. While neural operators, particularly the Fourier Neural Operator (FNO), have shown promise in predicting simulation results with impressive performance efficiency, they face limitations when handling real-world scenarios involving coupled multi-physics outputs. Current operator methods either overlook correlations between multiple physical processes or...

The multi-bead-spring (MBS) model for polymeric liquids is commonly employed to represent the coarse-grained molecular configuration characterized by Fokker-Planck Equation (FPE). For chain consisting of several beads, state space involved in resulting transient FPE would become rather high dimensional. And solving this dimensional a challenging task even on supercomputers due curse dimensionality. In paper, tensor decomposition approach combined with Chebyshev spectral differentiation used...

The present fractional-order plasticity models for granular soil are mainly established under the triaxial compression condition, due to its difficult in analytically solving fractional differentiation of third stress invariant, e.g., Lode\'s angle. To solve this problem, a three dimensional elastoplastic model based on transformed method, which does not rely analytical solution angle, is proposed. A nonassociated plastic flow rule derived by conducting derivative yielding function with...

This paper considers controlled scalar systems relying on a lossy wireless feedback channel. In contrast with the existing literature, focus is not system controller but transmit power that implemented at side for reporting state to controller. Such problem may be of interest, e.g., remote control drones, where communication costs have considered. Determining policy minimizes combination dynamical cost and transmission energy shown non-trivial optimization problem. It turns out recursive...

Uncertainty forecasting of Earth-orbiting targets is an essential but difficult task, because the underlying Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) defined on a relatively high dimensional state-space, and driven by nonlinear perturbed Keplerian dynamics. In addition, enormously large solution domain required, which time-varying state probability density function (pdf) only occupies tiny fraction at any given time. This has caused FPE for orbital uncertainty propagation to remain unsolved problem....

Artificial intelligence (AI) has immense potential in time series prediction, but most explainable tools have limited capabilities providing a systematic understanding of important features over time. These typically rely on evaluating single point, overlook the ordering inputs, and neglect time-sensitive nature applications. factors make it difficult for users, particularly those without domain knowledge, to comprehend AI model decisions obtain meaningful explanations. We propose CGS-Mask,...

We introduce an adaptively weighted Galerkin approach for elliptic problems where diffusion is dominated by strong convection or reaction terms.In such problems, standard approximations can have unacceptable oscillatory behavior near boundaries unless the computational mesh sufficiently fine.Here we show how weighting equations within variational problem increase accuracy and stability of solutions on under-resolved meshes.Rather than relying specialized finite elements meshes, idea here...
