自牛顿《自然哲学的数学原理》提出以来,三体问题始终是天体力学中的核心难题。在一般定义下,它旨在预测三个质点在万有引力作用下的运动轨迹。由于大多数初始条件下系统具有混沌特性,至今未找到通用的解析解。现有方法主要依赖高精度数值积分或机器学习,但后者常忽略物理先验知识。本文提出一种基于物理信息神经网络(PINNs)的新方法,将常微分方程(ODE)形式的物理规律作为正则化项嵌入神经网络训练过程。实验表明,该方法在预测精度上达到当前最优机器学习水平,同时显著降低计算开销,具备高效且可解释的开式求解能力,充分融合经典力学先验知识。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
First formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in his work "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica", the concept of the Three-Body Problem was put forth as a study of the motion of the three celestial bodies within the Earth-Sun-Moon system. In a generalized definition, it seeks to predict the motion for an isolated system composed of three point masses freely interacting under Newton's law of universal attraction. This proves to be analogous to a multitude of interactions between celestial bodies, and thus, the problem finds applicability within the studies of celestial mechanics. Despite numerous attempts by renowned physicists to solve it throughout the last three centuries, no general closed-form solutions have been reached due to its inherently chaotic nature for most initial conditions. Current state-of-the-art solutions are based on two approaches, either numerical high-precision integration or machine learning-based. Notwithstanding the breakthroughs of neural networks, these present a significant limitation, which is their ignorance of any prior knowledge of the chaotic systems presented. Thus, in this work, we propose a novel method that utilizes Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). These deep neural networks are able to incorporate any prior system knowledge expressible as an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) into their learning processes as a regularizing agent. Our findings showcase that PINNs surpass current state-of-the-art machine learning methods with comparable prediction quality. Despite a better prediction quality, the usability of numerical integrators suffers due to their prohibitively high computational cost. These findings confirm that PINNs are both effective and time-efficient open-form solvers of the Three-Body Problem that capitalize on the extensive knowledge we hold of classical mechanics.
