Lie Transform--based Neural Networks for Dynamics Simulation and Learning
In the article, we discuss the architecture of the polynomial neural network that corresponds to the matrix representation of Lie transform. The matrix form of Lie transform is an approximation of the general solution of the nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. The proposed architecture can be trained with small data sets, extrapolate predictions outside the training data, and provide a possibility for interpretation. We provide a theoretical explanation of the proposed architecture, as well as demonstrate it in several applications. We present the results of modeling and identification for both simple and well-known dynamical systems, and more complicated examples from price dynamics, chemistry, and accelerator physics. From a practical point of view, we describe the training of a Lie transform--based neural network with a small data set containing only 10 data points. We also demonstrate an interpretation of the fitted neural network by converting it to a system of differential equations.
