- 适合物理建模、科学发现场景,尤其擅长处理复杂时空项
基于数据驱动的偏微分方程(PDE)发现是揭示复杂系统内在规律的有前途方法。然而纯数据驱动方法面临搜索空间与优化效率之间的权衡困境。本研究提出一种知识引导方法,利用数学手册中已有的PDE信息来辅助发现过程。这些PDE被编码为包含算子和基础项的类语句结构,并用于训练一个生成模型EqGPT,实现自由形式的PDE生成。构建生成-评估-优化循环,实现对最优PDE的自主识别。实验结果表明,该框架能以高精度和高效计算恢复多种PDE形式,尤其在涉及复杂时间导数或复杂空间项时表现优异,传统方法往往难以处理。该方法还具备在不规则空间域和高维设置下的泛化能力。值得注意的是,它基于真实实验数据成功发现了此前未报告的强非线性表面重力波向破波传播的控制方程,凸显其在实际场景中的应用潜力和推动科学发现的能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Data driven discovery of partial differential equations (PDEs) is a promising approach for uncovering the underlying laws governing complex systems. However, purely data driven techniques face the dilemma of balancing search space with optimization efficiency. This study introduces a knowledge guided approach that incorporates existing PDEs documented in a mathematical handbook to facilitate the discovery process. These PDEs are encoded as sentence like structures composed of operators and basic terms, and used to train a generative model, called EqGPT, which enables the generation of free form PDEs. A loop of generation evaluation optimization is constructed to autonomously identify the most suitable PDE. Experimental results demonstrate that this framework can recover a variety of PDE forms with high accuracy and computational efficiency, particularly in cases involving complex temporal derivatives or intricate spatial terms, which are often beyond the reach of conventional methods. The approach also exhibits generalizability to irregular spatial domains and higher dimensional settings. Notably, it succeeds in discovering a previously unreported PDE governing strongly nonlinear surface gravity waves propagating toward breaking, based on real world experimental data, highlighting its applicability to practical scenarios and its potential to support scientific discovery.
