MC$^2$: Monte Carlo Correction for Fast Elliptic PDE Solving
arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.09288v1 Announce Type: cross Partial differential equation (PDE) solvers underpin scientific computing, but real-world deployment is bounded by compute. Classical Monte Carlo solvers such as Walk-on-Spheres (WoS) are unbiased and geometry-agnostic but are slow. Learned solvers are fast but biased and brittle under distribution shift. We present \textbf{MC$^2$}, a hybrid WoS-Neural Network (WoS-NN) PDE solver that treats a low-budget Monte Carlo solution as a structured estimator of the true field and learns a single-pass neural correction to recover a high-fidelity solution.
