  • 用MLP和傅里叶型架构对比控制物理系统,研究结构对解的影响。
  • 相同条件下,不同架构生成的控制轨迹在频谱、平滑度和能量分布上差异明显。
  • 傅里叶架构擅长生成振荡丰富控制,平滑架构更高效节能,体现隐式分工。

本文研究神经架构作为物理受控系统中隐式函数先验的作用,聚焦于常微分方程控制问题。通过线性RLC电路与非线性Duffing系统,比较多层感知机(MLP)与基于傅里叶的KAN类架构在经典最优控制与物理信息神经网络(PINN)框架下的表现。实验表明,在相同方程、损失函数、初始/目标状态、训练参数与物理约束下,不同架构仍生成定性不同的控制解:傅里叶架构产生更高频振荡成分,而低频偏倚的平滑架构则生成更规则、能量更高效的控制。这揭示了神经架构对控制功能的隐式专业化现象——状态表示与控制生成可由不同架构协同完成。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In this work we investigate the role of neural architectures as implicit functional priors in control problems governed by ordinary differential equations. Rather than focusing on highly complex problems, our objective is to investigate architecture-dependent effects in controlled dynamical systems within the simplest physically interpretable settings possible. In particular, we study a controlled linear RLC electrical circuit and a nonlinear Duffing-type dynamical system. Both systems are analyzed first through classical optimal-control formulations and later through PINN-based approaches. We compare different combinations of multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) and Fourier-based KAN-like architectures, and analyze their influence on the resulting controls. The numerical experiments suggest that different architectural choices systematically generate qualitatively distinct controls, even under identical governing equations, loss functionals, initial and target states, training parameters and physical constraints. Significant differences appear in the spectral structure, smoothness, energy distribution, and phase-space behavior of the learned solutions. A central observation of this work is the emergence of a functional specialization phenomenon when the neural architectures are allowed sufficient freedom to shape the structure of the learned controls. More specifically, in the systems considered here, Fourier-based architectures tend to produce trajectories with richer oscillatory content, whereas smoother low-frequency-biased architectures tend to generate more regular and energetically efficient controls. This suggests that different functional components of the control problem may be handled more efficiently by different neural architectures, leading to an implicit specialization between state representation and control generation.
