where ℱ and ℱ−1 are the forward and inverse Fourier transforms, respectively. 𝑅w is the trans-
formation which contains the learn-able parameters w. Note this operator is calculated over the
entire structured Euclidean domain 𝐷 discretized with 𝑛 points.
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used to perform the Fourier transforms efficiently and the resulting
transformation 𝑅w is just a finite size matrix of learn-able weights. Inside the spectral convolution,
the Fourier coefficients are truncated to only the lower modes which allows explicit control over the
dimensionality of the spectral space and linear operator.
The FNO model is the composition of a fully-connected “lifting” layer, 𝐿 spectral convolutions with
point-wise linear skip connections and a decoding point-wise fully-connected neural network at the
end.
