Geometric Dictionary Learning of Dynamical Systems with Optimal Transport

The paper introduces DOODL, a framework that learns a dictionary of spectral dynamics to represent related dynamical systems as points on a low‑dimensional manifold in operator space. By constraining operator estimation to this learned manifold, DOODL provides compact, interpretable embeddings and enables fast, accurate operator estimation from short, partially observed trajectories. Experiments on metastable Langevin dynamics and turbulent plasma simulations show that DOODL achieves one to two orders of magnitude lower errors than independent estimation methods, especially in low‑data regimes.

Learning Chaos Without Seeing Chaos: Extrapolation of Global Dynamics in Autoregressive Transformers

Autoregressive transformers trained on limited trajectories of nonlinear dynamical systems can extrapolate to unseen parameter regimes, reproducing period-doubling cascades, chaotic dynamics, and attractor structures with high fidelity. In the logistic map, the model captures successive period doublings up to period 128, achieving a scaling ratio within $5 imes10^{-4}$ of the Feigenbaum constant. The study also shows how control‑parameter information is processed via attention, shaping the closed‑loop dynamics during training.

Minimum distance classification for nonlinear dynamical systems

The paper introduces Dynafit, a kernel-based method for classifying trajectories produced by distinct nonlinear dynamical systems. It learns a distance metric by approximating the Koopman operator, enabling classification in a feature space without explicit dimensionality. The authors demonstrate Dynafit on logistic map chaos detection, handwritten dynamical pattern recognition, and visual dynamic texture classification.
