This manuscript proposes an integral formulation of the newly defined quadratic embedding method for identifying nonlinear systems (QENDy). In the original algorithm, trajectory data points along with their time derivatives are used.

The paper proposes a new receding‑horizon algorithm for the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) with unknown dynamics, inspired by REINFORCE. It removes the need for two‑point gradient estimates and does not require a stable initial policy, while maintaining the same order of sample complexity. A refined analysis of error propagation via the Riccati operator’s contraction under Riemannian distance yields improved sample complexity and convergence guarantees.

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.

arXiv:2606. 24769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Even when Dirac-Frenkel dynamics determine a well-defined evolution in function space, the corresponding parameter dynamics can be non-unique or ill-conditioned for redundant nonlinear parametrizations such as neural networks or mixture models.

The paper introduces an active learning algorithm for linear system identification that uses optimal centered noise excitation. It employs ordinary least squares and semidefinite programming to achieve minimal sample complexity while enabling efficient computation of the system matrix estimate. The authors provide both lower and upper bounds on sample complexity that match up to universal factors and explicitly depend on system parameters such as state dimension.
