Supercharging Graph Transformers with Advective Diffusion
The capability of generalization is a cornerstone for the success of modern learning systems. For non-Euclidean data, e.g., graphs, that particularly involves topological structures, one important aspect neglected by prior studies is how machine learning models generalize under topological shifts. This paper proposes AdvDIFFormer, a physics-inspired graph Transformer model designed to address this challenge. The model is derived from advective diffusion equations which describe a class of continuous message passing process with observed and latent topological structures. We show that AdvDIFFormer has provable capability for controlling generalization error with topological shifts, which in contrast cannot be guaranteed by graph diffusion models. Empirically, the model demonstrates superiority in various predictive tasks across information networks, molecular screening and protein interactions.

A mechanism for sarcomere breathing: volume change and advective flow within the myofilament lattice
During muscle contraction, myosin motors anchored to thick filaments bind to and slide actin thin filaments. These motors rely on energy derived from ATP, supplied, in part, by diffusion from the sarcoplasm to the interi…
Tissue failure propagation as mediated by circulatory flow
Aging is driven by subcellular processes that are relatively well-understood. However the qualitative mechanisms and quantitative dynamics of how these micro-level failures cascade to a macro-level catastrophe in a tissu…
Evolution of dispersal in advective patchy environments with varying drift rates
In this paper, we study a two stream species Lotka-Volterra competition patch model with the patches aligned along a line. The two species are supposed to be identical except for the diffusion rates. For each species, th…
Effects of diffusion and advection on predator prey dynamics in an advective patchy environment
In this paper, we consider a specialist predator-prey patchy model over the closed stream network. We study the dynamics and the asymptotic profiles of positive steady states according to the mortality rate of the specia…
A Discontinuous Galerkin method with weighted averages for advection-diffusion equations with locally vanishing and anisotropic diffusivity
We consider Discontinuous Galerkin approximations of advection-diffusion equations with anisotropic and discontinuous diffusivity, and propose the symmetric weighted interior penalty (SWIP) method for better coping wit…
