This paper proposes an alternative framework for using neural networks as surrogates for partial differential equations (PDEs). Instead of directly predicting the next state, neural solvers predict the temporal derivative, which is then used to forward-integrate the solution in time. This approach has little overhead and can be applied broadly across model architectures and PDEs. The authors find that this framework improves accuracy and stability compared to traditional methods. Additionally, it allows for flexible time-stepping during inference or training on higher-resolution PDE data.

This paper shows a new way to use neural networks to solve problems involving equations that change over time. Instead of just guessing what the next state will be, these neural networks predict how fast things are changing and then use that information to calculate the future state. This approach is more accurate and stable than previous methods and can be used with different types of models and equations.
