• Abstract: We propose an automatic approach for manifold nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (mNARX) modeling that leverages the feature-based structure of functional-NARX (F-NARX) modeling. This novel approach, termed mNARX+, preserves the key strength of the mNARX framework, which is its expressivity allowing it to model complex dynamical systems, while simultaneously addressing a key limitation: the heavy reliance on domain expertise to identify relevant auxiliary quantities and their causal ordering. Our method employs a data-driven, recursive algorithm that automates the construction of the mNARX model sequence. It operates by sequentially selecting temporal features based on their correlation with the model prediction residuals, thereby automatically identifying the most critical auxiliary quantities and the order in which they should be modeled. This procedure significantly reduces the need for prior system knowledge. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the mNARX+ algorithm on two case studies: a Bouc-Wen oscillator with strong hysteresis and a complex aero-servo-elastic wind turbine simulator. The results show that the algorithm provides a systematic, data-driven method for creating accurate and stable surrogate models for complex dynamical systems.

  We propose a novel surrogate modelling approach to efficiently approximate the response of complex dynamical systems. We show that mNARX outperforms traditional autoregressive surrogates in predicting the response of a classical coupled spring-mass system. We also show that mNARX is well suited for emulating very high-dimensional time- and state-dependent systems, even when affected by active controllers.

  We present an Equation/Variable free machine learning (EVFML) framework for the control of the collective dynamics of complex/multiscale systems. The proposed implementation consists of three steps: (A) from high-dimensional agent-based simulations, machine learning (in particular, non-linear manifold learning (DMs)) We exploit the Equation-free approach to perform numerical bifurcation analysis of the emergent dynamics. We design data-driven embedded wash-out controllers that drive the agent-based simulators to their intrinsic, imprecisely known, emergent open-loop unstable steady-states.
