Score-Based Stabilization for Time-Dependent Problems
Eshed Gal, Eldad Haber, Uri Ascher
Abstract
We propose a score-based stabilization framework for numerical simulation of partial differential equations, in which a learned score model defines a stabilization operator applied to provisional numerical updates. This operator augments standard time-stepping schemes by enforcing structure and physical consistency through a correction that drives iterates toward the manifold of admissible states. We show that the stabilization operator acts as a contraction toward this manifold, yielding a correction mechanism with basin-conditional stability. Numerical experiments on Advection, Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS), and Burgers' equations demonstrate improved robustness, suppression of nonphysical instabilities, and preservation of qualitative dynamics.
