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.

Finite-Sample Metric Non-Collapse for Geometrically Supervised Latent World Models in Control

The paper presents a finite‑sample learning‑to‑control framework for geometrically supervised latent models of nonlinear deterministic systems. It introduces an encoder‑only local–global metric hinge that ensures directional resolution and state discrimination, and proves that any approximate empirical minimizer is pointwise co‑Lipschitz and uniformly approximately semiconjugate to the true dynamics under regularity assumptions. The results provide explicit bounds on approximation, sampling, and optimization errors, and demonstrate through controlled experiments that restoring metric resolution improves control performance.
