Researchers have developed a theoretical framework explaining the effectiveness of multi-layer message passing in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for approximating potential energy surfaces. Their work proves that a Hypergraph Neural Network with 3-body message passing can act as a universal approximator. This theory demonstrates that L layers of message passing on sparse graphs are equivalent to having access to the full L-hop neighborhood under specific conditions, providing a rigorous justification for the common practice of using multi-layer message passing with smaller per-layer cutoffs in GNN-based interatomic potentials. Consequently, architectures like DPA3 and CHGNet are shown to inherit this universal approximation capability. AI
