Fast and scalable computation of shape-morphing nonlinear solutions with application to evolutional neural networks

Abstract

We develop fast and scalable methods for computing reduced-order nonlinear solutions (RONS). RONS was recently proposed as a framework for reduced-order modeling of time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs), where the modes depend nonlinearly on a set of time-varying parameters. RONS uses a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for the parameters to optimally evolve the shape of the modes to adapt to the PDE's solution. This method has already proven extremely effective in tackling challenging problems such as advection-dominated flows and high-dimensional PDEs. However, as the number of parameters grow, integrating the RONS equation and even its formation become computationally prohibitive. Here, we develop three separate methods to address these computational bottlenecks: symbolic RONS, collocation RONS and regularized RONS. We demonstrate the efficacy of these methods on two examples: Fokker-Planck equation in high dimensions and the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. In both cases, we observe that the proposed methods lead to several orders of magnitude in speedup and accuracy. Our proposed methods extend the applicability of RONS beyond reduced-order modeling by making it possible to use RONS for accurate numerical solution of linear and nonlinear PDEs. Finally, as a special case of RONS, we discuss its application to problems where the PDE's solution is approximated by a neural network, with the time-dependent parameters being the weights and biases of the network. The RONS equations dictate the optimal evolution of the network's parameters without requiring any training.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
