Non-Intrusive Hyperreduction by a Physics-Augmented Neural Network with Second-Order Sobolev Training

Abstract

The finite element method is an indispensable tool in engineering, but its computational complexity prevents applications for control or at system-level. Model order reduction bridges this gap, creating highly efficient yet accurate surrogate models. Reducing nonlinear setups additionally requires hyperreduction. Compatibility with commercial finite element software requires non-intrusive methods based on data. Methods include the trajectory piecewise linear approach, or regression, typically via neural networks. Important aspects for these methods are accuracy, efficiency, generalization, including desired physical and mathematical properties, and extrapolation. Especially the last two aspects are problematic for neural networks. Therefore, several studies investigated how to incorporate physical knowledge or desirable properties. A promising approach from constitutive modeling is physics augmented neural networks. This concept has been elegantly transferred to hyperreduction by Fleres et al. in 2025 and guarantees several desired properties, incorporates physics, can include parameters, and results in smaller architectures. We augment this reference work by second-order Sobolev training, i.e., using a function and its first two derivatives. These are conveniently accessible and promise improved performance. Further modifications are proposed and studied. While Sobolev training does not meet expectations, several minor changes improve accuracy by up to an order of magnitude. Eventually, our best model is compared to reference work and the trajectory piecewise linear approach. The comparison relies on the same numerical case study as the reference work and additionally emphasizes extrapolation due to its critical role in typical applications. Our results indicate quick divergence of physics-augmented neural networks for extrapolation, preventing its deployment.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
