A new research paper explores the limitations of Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) in generalizing across different spatial resolutions. The study found that directly inferring on a finer grid does not always improve performance and can sometimes be worse than upsampling a lower-resolution prediction. This phenomenon is attributed to intermediate representations concentrating energy in low frequencies, with high-frequency output primarily generated in later stages, suggesting nonlinear aliasing is a significant barrier to zero-shot resolution equivariance in FNOs.
