From STLS to Projection-based Dictionary Selection in Sparse Regression for System Identification

In this work, we revisit dictionary-based sparse regression, in particular, Sequential Threshold Least Squares (STLS), and propose a score-guided library selection to provide practical guidance for data-driven modeling, with emphasis on SINDy-type algorithms. STLS is an algorithm to solve the $\ell_0$ sparse least-squares problem, which relies on splitting to efficiently solve the least-squares portion while handling the sparse term via proximal methods. It produces coefficient vectors whose components depend on both the projected reconstruction errors, here referred to as the scores, and the mutual coherence of dictionary terms. The first contribution of this work is a theoretical analysis of the score and dictionary-selection strategy. This could be understood in both the original and weak SINDy regime. Second, numerical experiments on ordinary and partial differential equations highlight the effectiveness of score-based screening, improving both accuracy and interpretability in dynamical system identification. These results suggest that integrating score-guided methods to refine the dictionary more accurately may help SINDy users in some cases to enhance their robustness for data-driven discovery of governing equations.

Inertia perturbation theory for the inertial Kuramoto model

In this work, we study the inertial Kuramoto model, which is a second-order extension of the classical first-order Kuramoto model, as an inertial perturbation of the first-order Kuramoto model. We develop a quantitative Tikhonov theorem, from which we derive a new synchronization statement in the small inertia regime, with strong bounds on the limiting order parameter. We also explore the determinability of phase velocities from phase positions, which shows that the perturbation viewpoint must be limited to the small inertia regime. This paper complements our recent work (2025), where we established asymptotic phase-locking of inertial Kuramoto oscillators under generic initial conditions in the low inertia-high coupling regime.

Quantitative relaxation dynamics from generic initial configurations in the inertial Kuramoto model

We study the relaxation dynamics of the inertial Kuramoto model toward a phase-locked state from a generic initial phase configuration. For this, we propose a sufficient framework in terms of initial data and system parameters for asymptotic phase-locking. It can be roughly stated as set of conditions such as a positive initial order parameter, a coupling strength sufficiently larger than initial frequency diameter and intrinsic frequency diameter, but less than the inverse of inertia. Under the proposed framework, generic initial configuration undergoes three dynamic stages (initial layer, condensation and relaxation stages) before it reaches a phase-locked state asymptotically. The first stage is the initial layer stage in analogy with fluid mechanics, during which the effect of the initial natural frequency distribution is dominant, compared to that of the sinusoidal coupling between oscillators. The second stage is the condensation stage, during which the order parameter increases, and at the end of which a majority cluster is contained in a sufficiently small arc. Finally, the third stage is the persistence and relaxation stage, during which the majority cluster remains stable (persistence) and the total configuration relaxes toward a phase-locked state asymptotically (relaxation). The intricate proof involves with several key tools such as the quasi-monotonicity of the order parameter (for the condensation stage), a nonlinear Gr\"onwall inequality on the diameter of the majority cluster (for the persistence stage), and a variant of the classical {\L}ojasiewicz gradient theorem (for the relaxation stage).

Uniform-in-time asymptotic limits of generalized Kuramoto models

We study two uniform-in-time asymptotic limits for generalized Kuramoto (GK) models. For these GK type models, we first derive the uniform stability estimates with respect to initial data, natural frequency and communication network under a suitable framework, and then as direct applications of this uniform stability estimate, we establish two asymptotic limits which are valid in the whole time interval, namely uniform-in-time continuum and mean-filed limit to the continuum and kinetic GK models, respectively. In the mean-field limit setting (the number of particles tends to infinity), we show global-in-time existence of measure-valued solutions to the corresponding kinetic equation. On the other hand, in a continuum limit setting (the lattice size tends to zero), we show that the lattice GKM solutions converge to a classical solution to the continuum GK model in supremum norm. Two asymptotic limits improve earlier results for the generalized GK type models.

Signature of glassy dynamics in dynamic modes decompositions

Glasses are traditionally characterized by their rugged landscape of disordered low-energy states and their slow relaxation towards thermodynamic equilibrium. Far from equilibrium, dynamical forms of glassy behavior with anomalous algebraic relaxation have also been noted, for example, in networks of coupled oscillators. Due to their disordered and high-dimensional nature, such systems have been difficult to study theoretically, but data-driven methods are emerging as a promising alternative that may aid in their analysis. Here, we characterize glassy dynamics using the dynamic mode decomposition, a data-driven spectral computation that approximates the Koopman spectrum. We show that the gap between oscillatory and decaying modes in the Koopman spectrum vanishes in systems exhibiting algebraic relaxation, and thus, we propose a model-agnostic signature for robustly detecting and analyzing glassy dynamics. We demonstrate the utility of our approach through both a minimal example of a one-dimensional ODE and a high-dimensional example of coupled oscillators.

Emergence of a periodically rotating one-point cluster in a thermodynamic Cucker-Smale ensemble

We study emergent behaviors of thermomechanical Cucker-Smale (TCS) ensemble confined in a harmonic potential field. In the absence of external force field, emergent dynamics of TCS particles has been extensively studied recently under various frameworks formulated in terms of initial configuration, system parameters and network topologies. Moreover, the TCS model does not exhibit rotating motions in the absence of an external force field. In this paper, we show the emergence of periodically rotating one-point cluster for the TCS model in a harmonic potential field using elementary energy estimates and continuity argument. We also provide several numerical simulations and compare them with analytical results.
