Adaptive Hybrid Subspace Levenberg Marquardt Algorithm with Adequacy Monitor for Large Scale Least Squares Problems

The paper introduces an Adaptive Hybrid Subspace Levenberg–Marquardt (HSLM) algorithm that tackles large‑scale nonlinear least‑squares problems by building a low‑dimensional subspace from gradient, memory, Krylov‑subspace, and randomized curvature data. It employs a deterministic adequacy monitor to adaptively enrich the subspace and decouples step acceptance from damping adjustment, using Armijo backtracking for step length and a ratio of actual to predicted reduction for damping updates. The authors prove global convergence to stationarity and local linear and superlinear convergence, and demonstrate that HSLM matches the convergence of classical and Krylov‑subspace LM while significantly reducing per‑iteration cost, especially as the parameter dimension increases.

A Convex Quasilinearization Method for Solving Nonlinear PDEs with Physics-Informed Neural Networks

arXiv:2606. 18175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a numerical method for the forward solution of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in which Bellman-Kalaba quasilinearization reduces the nonlinear problem to a sequence of linear subproblems, each discretized by collocation onto a trial space that is linear in its parameters and solved by a single direct linear least-squares QR factorization.

Data-Driven Learning of Unknown Nonlinear Differential Equations Using Functional Analysis

The paper proposes a new interpretable machine learning approach for discovering unknown nonlinear ordinary differential equations from a single state trajectory. It differs from existing methods by deriving its formulation from Functional Analysis and Operator Theory and by defining a cost function as an integral distance between functions rather than a discrete error sum. An incremental learning algorithm enables online updates, allowing simultaneous identification of both system dynamics and external time‑varying forces, with numerical examples illustrating its benefits.
