About

Efficient numerical solvers for partial differential equations empower science and engineering. One of the commonly employed numericalsolvers is the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) algorithm that can solve large systems to a given precision level. One challenge in PCG solvers is the selection of preconditioners, as different problem-dependent systems can benefit from different preconditioners. We present a new method to introduce inductive bias in preconditioning conjugate gradient algorithm. Given a system matrix and a set of solution vectors arise from an underlying distribution, we train a graph neural network to obtain an approximate decomposition to the system matrix to be used as a preconditioner in the context of PCG solvers. We conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate the efficacy and generalizability of our proposed approach on solving various 2D and 3D linear second-order PDEs.
