Meta-learning Pseudo-differential Operators with Deep Neural Networks

This paper introduces a meta-learning approach for parameterized pseudo-differential operators with deep neural networks. With the help of the nonstandard wavelet form, the pseudo-differential operators can be approximated in a compressed form with a collection of vectors. The nonlinear map from the parameter to this collection of vectors and the wavelet transform are learned together from a small number of matrix-vector multiplications of the pseudo-differential operator. Numerical results for Green's functions of elliptic partial differential equations and the radiative transfer equations demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approach.
