Frontal polymerization Glass Fiber 2d Hires

PARITYS3 · dim 200

No clear winner. The survival gap is under 10 percentage points and the balanced-score gap is under 0.05, so neither SolvSRK nor the best baseline clears the win threshold. Either works — choose on cost, licensing, or integration effort. All verdicts →

High-resolution 2D frontal polymerization on 10x10 grid with glass-fiber anisotropic diffusion (k_x=1.0, k_y=0.2 W/mK). Tests SolvSRK at dim=200, the highest dimension in the FP domain.

At Clean, best balanced arm is SolvSRK.

Values are medians across seeds, measured by Resonix Labs on Resonix hardware and not independently verified; nfev and wall are on reference lab hardware (indicative). Under injected noise only SolvSRK and the SciPy arms are run. How we measure accuracy → · Verification status →
