We developed a novel denoising framework (RKSDS-INR) for nonlinear dynamical systems. It effectively suppresses noise, enabling accurate system identification from observational data.
Area of Science:
- Dynamical Systems and Control
- Machine Learning
- Scientific Computing
Background:
- Data-driven modeling of nonlinear dynamical systems is challenged by measurement noise.
- Accurate state derivatives are crucial for system identification but difficult to obtain from noisy data.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a robust framework for denoising observational data in nonlinear dynamical systems.
- To enable precise estimation of state derivatives for reliable system identification.
Main Methods:
- Proposed RKSDS-INR (Runge-Kutta and Second-Order Derivative Smoothness Based Implicit Neural Representation) framework.
- Utilized Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) fitted to noisy observations.
- Incorporated Runge-Kutta integration and second-order derivative smoothness as constraints.
Main Results:
- Achieved effective noise suppression in state trajectories.
- Demonstrated accurate estimation of first-order derivatives via automatic differentiation.
- Showcased reliable recovery of governing equations using sparse identification.
Conclusions:
- RKSDS-INR framework successfully denoises observational data for dynamical systems.
- The method enables accurate derivative estimation essential for system identification.
- This approach enhances the reliability of data-driven modeling for nonlinear dynamics.
