The computational graph representation in PDEformer offers a structured and intuitive way to encode the symbolic and numeric information of PDEs. However, there are potential limitations and areas for improvement:
Complexity of PDE Structures: The current computational graph representation may struggle to capture highly complex PDE structures involving intricate mathematical operations or specialized functions. To address this limitation, the graph can be enhanced to support a wider range of mathematical expressions and operations, including special functions and advanced mathematical concepts.
Integration of Domain Knowledge: The computational graph may lack the ability to incorporate domain-specific knowledge or constraints inherent in certain PDEs. By integrating domain-specific rules or constraints into the graph representation, the model can better align with the underlying physics or principles governing the PDEs.
Graph Connectivity and Edge Types: Improvements can be made in defining the connectivity between nodes and incorporating different edge types to represent diverse relationships between components of the PDE. This enhancement would enable a more comprehensive encoding of the interactions within the PDE structure.
Dynamic Graph Construction: Implementing a dynamic graph construction mechanism that adapts to the complexity and variability of different PDE structures can enhance the flexibility and scalability of the computational graph representation in capturing diverse PDE forms.
By addressing these limitations and incorporating enhancements to the computational graph representation, PDEformer can better capture the complexity and nuances of various PDE structures.
