Abstract

We introduce a Nemytskii neural operator framework for nonlinear model reduction of parametrized steady-state partial differential equations. The method generalizes reduced basis approaches by replacing linear combinations of basis functions with a structured nonlinear mapping realized through a pointwise Nemytskii operator acting on fixed feature functions. Feature functions are learned offline via nonlinear dimension reduction from high-fidelity snapshots, and a hypernetwork maps model parameters to a lightweight reconstruction network, which is further refined online using physics-informed residual minimization. The Nemytskii structure preserves analytical regularity and enables efficient evaluation of spatial and parametric derivatives, leading to fast online adaptation. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms linear model reduction techniques, particularly for complex solution manifolds.
