MENO: MeanFlow-Enhanced Neural Operators for Dynamical Systems

arXiv:2604.06881v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural operators have emerged as powerful surrogates for dynamical systems due to their grid-invariant properties and computational efficiency. However, Fourier-based variants inherently truncate high-frequency components in spectral space, resulting in the loss of small-scale structures and degraded prediction quality at high resolutions when trained on low-resolution data. While diffusion-based enhancement methods can recover multi-scale features, they introduce substantial inference overhead that undermines the efficiency advantage of neur

Why this matters
Why now
