Neural Discovery of Memory and Nonlocal Kernels in Integro-Differential Equations with Constrained Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks

Discovering the memory or nonlocal kernel governing an integro-differential equation (IDE) from sparse and noisy observations is an ill-posed inverse problem. Existing identification methods often rely on problem-specific analytical derivations, specialized observation requirements, or restrictive assumptions about the kernel, limiting their applicability across different classes of IDEs. In this work, we propose a differentiable-solver-based framework for discovering memory and nonlocal kernels directly from spatiotemporal observations. Within the solver, the unknown kernel is represented using a constrained Kolmogorov--Arnold Network (KAN) parameterization, with the physical constraints imposed through two different approaches: a Bernstein-polynomial-based Monotone--Convex KAN (MC-KAN), whose coefficient constraints enforce positivity, monotonic decrease, and convexity by construction, and a Chebyshev-based KAN (Cheb-KAN), in which the same properties are encouraged through soft penalty terms. After training, symbolic regression is applied to the learned kernels to obtain interpretable closed-form representations. We evaluate both methods on benchmarks spanning a one-dimensional Volterra equation, a one-dimensional viscoelastic wave partial integro-differential equation, and a two-dimensional nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation with an anisotropic coupled kernel. For the 1D problems, both methods recover the correct kernel functional form and achieve comparable solution-reconstruction accuracy. In contrast, for the sparse and noisy 2D nonlocal problem, the hard-constrained MC-KAN consistently achieves lower kernel reconstruction errors than the soft-constrained Cheb-KAN. Our results demonstrate that enforcing physically motivated shape constraints by construction provides greater robustness than soft penalties for multidimensional kernel discovery from sparse and noisy observations.

MINPO: Memory-Informed Neural Pseudo-Operator to Resolve Nonlocal Spatiotemporal Dynamics

Many physical systems exhibit nonlocal spatiotemporal behaviors described by integro-differential equations (IDEs). Classical methods for solving IDEs require repeatedly evaluating convolution integrals, whose cost increases quickly with kernel complexity and dimensionality. Existing neural solvers can accelerate selected instances of these computations, yet they do not generalize across diverse nonlocal structures. In this work, we introduce the Memory-Informed Neural Pseudo-Operator (MINPO), a unified framework for modeling nonlocal dynamics arising from long-range spatial interactions and/or long-term temporal memory. MINPO, employing either Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) or multilayer perceptron networks (MLPs) as encoders, learns the nonlocal operator and its inverse directly through neural representations, and then explicitly reconstruct the unknown solution fields. The learning is guarded by a lightweight nonlocal consistency loss term to enforce coherence between the learned operator and reconstructed solution. The MINPO formulation allows to naturally capture and efficiently resolve nonlocal spatiotemporal dependencies governed by a wide spectrum of IDEs and their subsets, including fractional PDEs. We evaluate the efficacy of MINPO in comparison with classical techniques and state-of-the-art neural-based strategies based on MLPs, such as A-PINN and fPINN, along with their newly-developed KAN variants, A-PIKAN and fPIKAN, designed to facilitate a fair comparison. Our study offers compelling evidence of the accuracy of MINPO and demonstrates its robustness in handling (i) diverse kernel types, (ii) different kernel dimensionalities, and (iii) the substantial computational demands arising from repeated evaluations of kernel integrals. MINPO, thus, generalizes beyond problem-specific formulations, providing a unified framework for systems governed by nonlocal operators.
