Data-efficient Kernel Methods for Learning Hamiltonian Systems

The paper introduces kernel-based methods for learning Hamiltonian systems directly from trajectory data, offering both a 2‑step approach (reconstruct trajectories first, then learn the Hamiltonian) and a 1‑step approach (joint inference). Experiments on mass‑spring dynamics, a nonlinear pendulum, and the Henon‑Heiles system show that the methods achieve accurate, data‑efficient predictions, outperforming 2‑step baselines especially when data are scarce, while preserving the Hamiltonian structure. The authors also provide a priori error estimates and a general numerical framework applicable to arbitrary dynamical systems.

Neural non-canonical Hamiltonian dynamics for long-time simulations

arXiv:2510. 01788v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work focuses on learning non-canonical Hamiltonian dynamics from data, where long-term predictions require the preservation of structure both in the learned model and in numerical schemes.

Elucidating the Conformal Structure of the Brinkman Penalisation Method for Geometry-Adapted, Structure-Preserving Operator Learning of Hamiltonian PDEs

The paper investigates how the Brinkman penalisation method, which embeds complex domain boundary-value problems into a simple computational box, preserves a multi-conformal symplectic structure for multi-symplectic Hamiltonian PDEs under a specific compatibility condition. It demonstrates that this leads to an exact local conservation law where the multi-symplectic two-form is conserved in the fluid region and decays exponentially inside the solid. Building on these findings, the authors propose structure-preserving numerical integrators via Strang splitting and conformal symplectic neural operators that interleave exact dissipative flows with learnable multi-symplectic evolution operators, and validate their approach with numerical experiments on wave and electromagnetic scattering.
