We propose an architecture for learning the dynamics of mechanical systems based on discrete forced Euler-Lagrange equations on Lie groups using only position data. By formulating the dynamics directly on manifold-valued configuration spaces, the method naturally respects the geometric structure of the systems and preserves geometric invariants and conservation laws. The reliance on position measurements alone makes the framework applicable in settings where velocity data are unavailable or noisy. The approach extends naturally to multibody systems, accommodates external control inputs, and demonstrates strong performance on both synthetic and real-world datasets.
Accurate prediction of complex dynamical systems from noisy measurements remains a significant challenge in scientific computing. Kernel ridge regression learning strategies are often effective when applied to clean data, but have limited success with noisy data. Recent work has…
Oscillatory dynamics arise ubiquitously in nonlinear systems, yet identifying a physically interpretable phase and phase dynamics in nonlinear, high-dimensional oscillations remains a central unresolved problem. Here we establish the principle of a universal dynamical clock, a ph…
Highly nonlinear chaotic dynamical systems remain difficult to model due to fundamental trade-offs between complexity, expressivity, and data efficiency. Modern machine learning methods achieve strong predictive performance but often rely on a-priori system knowledge or curated d…
We study the long-term behavior of the Multiplicative Weights Update (MWU) algorithm in game settings where learning dynamics frequently fail to converge to Nash equilibria and instead exhibit Li-Yorke chaos. While such chaos precludes the prediction of specific long-term strateg…
Koopman theory promises linear structure in nonlinear dynamics, but numerical Koopman spectra are easy to compute and hard to trust. A finite EDMD matrix always has eigenvalues; the problem is that many of them may have nothing to do with the infinite-dimensional operator. In thi…
For decades, static solution concepts (Nash, Correlated, and Coarse Correlated Equilibria) and the Price of Anarchy (PoA) have formed the bedrock of algorithmic game theory, with no-regret learning proving fast convergence to such game-theoretic equilibria. We show that reducing…
