New Gaussian Process method solves complex wave problems with uncertainty quantification

Researchers have developed a novel method for solving complex wave propagation problems governed by the Helmholtz equation, particularly in dissipative media where the squared wavenumber is complex. This new approach extends operator-informed Gaussian Process (GP) regression to handle complex-valued fields by transforming the problem into an equivalent real-valued system. The method demonstrates competitive performance against finite-difference and neural network baselines on benchmark problems, offering the advantage of quantifying uncertainty in its predictions. When applied to in vivo brain magnetic resonance elastography, the technique successfully reconstructed the shear curl field with a high correlation to measurements. AI
