contents Neural operators have achieved significant success in modern scientific computing due to their flexibility and strong generalization capabilities. Existing models, however, primarily rely on first-order kernel integral approximations, which severely limit their expressivity. To address this, we propose the Infinite-order Kernel Neural Operator (IKNO), which constructs neural operators via infinite-order kernel integrals and admits an elegant closed-form finite approximation. We develop two complementary infinite-order neural operator constructions: IKNO-Vanilla, which applies the full-kernel resolvent on the product grid via Kronecker eigendecomposition, and IKNO-TP, an alternative tensor-product operator that composes per-axis resolvents. Furthermore, we develop fast computation schemes for both variants of IKNO, which achieve outstanding global information aggregation while maintaining high computational efficiency. Empirically, we evaluate our IKNO on both time-dependent and time-independent benchmarks with arbitrary input shapes, including large-scale industrial datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the IKNO method consistently achieves the SOTA accuracy with significant improvements on nearly all benchmark datasets while maintaining scalability to very large point clouds.
