Fenchel-Gap Certified Neural PDE Training

Train a primal state network and a dual flux network jointly, using the convex primal-dual gap as the main loss and as an a posteriori certificate of state error. Unlike a strong residual, the certificate is based on monotonicity and convex duality, so it can remain informative even when differentiating rapidly oscillatory coefficients would amplify noise by $1/\varepsilon$.

Corrector-Enriched Two-Scale Network

Replace a single neural representation of a rapidly oscillatory PDE solution by a macroscopic network plus an explicitly oscillatory corrector network. Feed the network both the slow coordinate $x$ and fast coordinate $y=x/\varepsilon$, and train the resulting composite field in a variational energy objective. This targets the paper's scale-robust approximation bound rather than forcing the optimizer and finite sample set to discover oscillations of wavelength $\varepsilon$.

Energy-Preserving Hill Packet Layer

Augment a neural field or neural operator with a bank of localized, divergence-free moving packets whose radius and amplitude follow the Hill scaling rather than ordinary Gaussian scaling. The packet coefficients can represent unresolved flow corrections while keeping their L^2 contribution approximately invariant under refinement, preventing fine-scale features from becoming numerically negligible or explosively large.

Cell-Averaged Residual Corrector

For a neural ODE or physics-informed neural network whose residual cancellation is reliable only after temporal averaging, add an analytic temporal corrector that integrates the zero-mean part of the residual over each time cell. The corrector vanishes at cell boundaries and is smaller by a factor of the cell duration, so it improves pointwise-in-time residuals without changing the learned state at synchronization times.
