WLNO: Wavelet-Laplace Neural Operator for Solving Partial Differential Equations

arXiv:2605.24658v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work introduces the Wavelet-Laplace Neural Operator (WLNO), a novel neural operator that fuses Haar wavelet multi-scale spatial decomposition with the Laplace-domain pole-residue formulation of the Laplace Neural Operator (LNO). While LNO captures transient and steady-state dynamics through learnable system poles and residues, it lacks an explicit mechanism for extracting spatially localized multi-scale features inherent in complex PDE solutions. WLNO addresses this by augmenting the LNO core with a parallel single-level Haar discrete wavele
