📝 Abstract
Meshfree methods such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with kernel corrections, radial basis function-generated finite differences (RBF-FD), and the local anisotropic basis function method (LABFM) construct discrete differential operators by imposing polynomial consistency on a local stencil. For stencils containing more nodes than there are consistency constraints, the resulting linear system is underdetermined, and the remaining degrees of freedom are fixed implicitly by the choice of kernel, basis preconditioning, or a minimum-norm condition. Polynomial consistency constrains the operator only in the low-wavenumber limit, and no part of the construction selects for accuracy at the wavenumbers where fine-scale content resides. We introduce Spectral-like Neural Discretisation (SpeND), in which the choice of those degrees of freedom is cast as a learning problem: stencil weights are parametrised by a neural network conditioned on the local node geometry, trained to approximate the modal response of a spectral operator over the resolvable band. A hard-constrained projection layer maps the network output onto the affine subspace of consistent weights, so that polynomial consistency holds exactly by construction rather than as a penalty. Training is self-supervised and physics-agnostic, requiring no reference solutions; the objective minimises dispersion and dissipation error over a prescribed band-limited function space. Modal analysis on disordered two-dimensional node distributions shows that the learned fourth-order operator follows the exact response over a substantially wider band than either explicit LABFM at equal stencil size or fourth-order finite differences on a structured grid, whilst recovering the expected fourth-order convergence rate under refinement.
