• Authors: Zhiming Zhang and Yongming Liu
• Abstract summary: Machine learning approaches have been widely used for discovering the underlying physics of dynamical systems from measured data. Existing approaches, still lack robustness, especially the measured data contain a large level of noise. In this study, we use an efficient topological descriptor for complex data, ie.temporal characteristics (ECs) as features to characterize the observed data.

• Abstract: Machine learning approaches have been widely used for discovering the underlying physics of dynamical systems from measured data. Existing approaches, however, still lack robustness, especially when the measured data contain a large level of noise. The lack of robustness is mainly attributed to the insufficient representativeness of used features. As a result, the intrinsic mechanism governing the observed system cannot be accurately identified. In this study, we use an efficient topological descriptor for complex data, i.e., the Euler characteristics (ECs), as features to characterize the spatiotemporal data collected from dynamical systems and discover the underlying physics. Unsupervised manifold learning and supervised classification results show that EC can be used to efficiently distinguish systems with different while similar governing models. We also demonstrate that the machine learning approaches using EC can improve the confidence level of sparse regression methods of physics discovery.

  This paper explores the use of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for the identification and estimation of dynamical systems. PINNs offer a unique advantage by embedding known physical laws directly into the neural network's loss function, allowing for simple embedding of complex phenomena. The results demonstrate that PINNs deliver an efficient tool across all aforementioned tasks, even in presence of modelling errors.

We show that our method estimates nonlinear dynamical systems at a parametric rate, similar to the statistical rate of standard linear regression.
