Abstract: Accurately solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on arbitrary geometries and a variety of meshes is an important task in science and engineering applications. In this paper, we propose Adaptive Fourier Mamba Operators (AFMO), which integrates reproducing kernels for state-space models (SSMs) rather than the kernel integral formulation of SSMs. This is achieved by constructing Takenaka-Malmquist systems for the PDEs. AFMO offers new representations that align well with the adaptive Fourier decomposition (AFD) theory and can approximate the solution manifold of PDEs on a wide range of geometries and meshes. In several challenging benchmark PDE problems in the field of fluid physics, solid physics, and finance on point clouds, structured meshes, regular grids, and irregular domains, AFMO consistently outperforms state-of-the-art solvers in terms of relative $L^2$ error. Overall, this work presents a new paradigm for designing explainable neural operator frameworks.
