Title: Structure-preserving machine learning for learning dynamical systems
 
 
Abstract: I will present our recent work on structure-preserving machine learning (ML) for dynamical systems. First, I introduce a structure-preserving neural ODE framework that accurately captures chaotic dynamics in dissipative systems. Inspired by the inertial manifold theorem, our model learns the ODE’s right-hand side by combining a linear and a nonlinear term, enabling long-term stability on the attractor for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. This framework is further enhanced with exponential integrators. Next, I discuss ML for singularly perturbed systems, leveraging the Fenichel normal form to simplify fast dynamics near slow manifolds. A fast-slow neural network is proposed that enforces the existence of a trainable, attractive invariant slow manifold as a hard constraint.
