Residual-Certified Adaptive Tracking of Solution Manifolds in Parametric Dynamical Systems
This paper presents a residual-certified adaptive method for tracking local solution manifolds in parametric dynamical systems. The method combines local POD reduction, full physical residual checks, state-distance snapshot forgetting, high-fidelity resampling, and a lightweight physics-informed neural correction. Instead of learning one global parameter-to-state map, the algorithm maintains the currently active local branch and updates it when the residual indicates loss of validity. The analysis explains why residual thresholds are meaningful on regular branches through local residual-error control, and why stricter local updates are needed near folds or other degenerate neighborhoods. Numerical studies on Ostwald ripening, a particle population-balance model, and the Bratu equation test the approach across low-dimensional dynamics, nonlinear nonlocal residual compensation, and near-fold model failure. The results show that residual-certified local model management can concentrate high-fidelity computation in difficult parameter regions while preserving an interpretable link between surrogate prediction, physical consistency, and active-branch tracking.
