New AI agent HER-PDE discovers complex PDEs and spatial fields

Researchers have developed a new scientific agent framework called HER-PDE, designed to discover partial differential equations (PDEs) in heterogeneous media. This agent can simultaneously identify the governing operator and the unknown spatial fields that parameterize it, even when these fields are complex and time-invariant. HER-PDE analyzes two noisy trajectories from different excitations to propose and refine PDE hypotheses, estimating fields only for declared hypotheses and scoring structures based on cross-excitation transfer. In tests across five controlled two-dimensional systems, the agent successfully recovered the generating operator and achieved a median Pearson correlation of 0.85 for recovered fields. AI

IMPACT This agent's ability to discover complex PDEs and spatial fields could accelerate scientific research by automating a challenging aspect of theoretical physics and engineering.
