QuadConv: Quadrature-based convolutions with applications to non-uniform PDE data compression
We present a new convolution layer for deep learning architectures which we call QuadConv — an approximation to continuous convolution via quadrature. Our operator is developed explicitly for use on non-uniform, mesh-based data, and accomplishes this by learning a continuous kernel that can be sampled at arbitrary locations. Moreover, the construction of our operator admits an efficient implementation which we detail and construct. As an experimental validation of our operator, we consider the task of compressing partial differential equation (PDE) simulation data from fixed meshes. Here, we show that QuadConv can match the performance of standard discrete convolutions on uniform grid data by comparing a QuadConv autoencoder (QCAE) to a standard convolutional autoencoder (CAE). Further, we show that the QCAE can maintain this accuracy even on non-uniform data. In both cases, QuadConv also outperforms alternative unstructured convolution methods such as graph convolution.

Design guidance for ferrites: Insights from density functional theory on magnetic properties
A grand challenge in materials research is identifying the relationship between composition and performance. Herein, we explore this relationship for magnetic properties, specifically magnetic saturation (M s ) and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (K) of ferrites. Ferrites are materials derived from magnetite (chemical formula = Fe 3 O 4 ) that comprise metallic elements such as Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu and Zn. Experimentally, synthesizing and characterizing ferrites is time consuming. Further, selection of compositions to achieve particular magnetic properties currently relies on intuition. To address this, in this work, density functional theory (DFT) is used to predict M s and K for 571 ferrite structures. These structures are primarily double-substituted non-stoichiometric ferrites with formulae M1 x M2 y Fe 3–x–y O 4 , where M1 and M2 can be Mn, Ni, Co, Cu and/or Zn and 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and y = 1–x. Calculated magnetic properties for the structures in this study vary from 0.04 × 10 5 to 9.6 × 10 5 A m −1 for M s and from 0.02 × 10 5 to 14.08 × 10 5 J m −3 for K. All structures are made publicly available in a FAIR database.
