• Abstract: Standard continuous-depth models, such as Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs), offer significant advantages in modeling physical systems by learning continuous vector fields rather than discrete temporal steps. However, when applied to complex dynamical systems, standard NODEs frequently struggle with highly nonlinear dynamics. This paper investigates the Frequency-domain Neural ODE (FNODE), an architecture that projects continuous temporal dynamics into the frequency domain using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). By operating in the frequency domain, the model provides better generalization to the dynamical system. The architecture is empirically evaluated against discrete models, specifically Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTMs), and other continuous-depth variants, including Augmented Neural ODE (ANODE), across four distinct dynamical systems: the Lotka-Volterra model, the forced Duffing oscillator, the Van der Pol oscillator, and the Lorenz system. To rigorously assess generalization and robustness, curriculum and ensemble learning are used to evaluate the model's convergence by estimating confidence intervals across different ensemble models. The empirical results demonstrate that the FNODE architecture achieves better generalization while exhibiting remarkable convergence stability.
