Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable success in modeling complex relationships in graph-structured data. A recent innovation in this field is the family of Differential Equation-Inspired Graph Neural Networks (DE-GNNs), which leverage principles from continuous dynamical systems to model information flow on graphs with built-in properties such as feature smoothing or preservation. However, existing DE-GNNs rely on first or second-order temporal dependencies. In this paper, the authors propose a neural extension to those pre-defined temporal dependencies through a new model, TDE-GNN, which can capture a wide range of temporal dynamics that go beyond typical first or second-order methods, and provide use cases where existing temporal models are challenged.
