A matched-integrator evaluation of Hamiltonian neural networks on pendulum and Kepler dynamics

- 用相同数据和训练方式对比哈密顿网络与普通网络的性能差异。
- 在100个周期内能量漂移降低42倍,轨迹误差降低15.8倍。
- 特别在非线性区域表现更优,适合物理模拟与长时预测任务。
哈密顿神经网络(HNN)通过学习标量哈密顿量来参数化保守动力学,为向量场神经网络提供了通用架构所不具备的先验知识。本研究在受控实验中评估该先验:将一个HNN与一个参数匹配的前馈基线网络,在相同的RK4生成轨迹上进行训练,使用相同的中心差分导数目标和优化设置,并在推理时采用相同的RK4积分方案。结果基于五个独立训练种子报告。在非线性摆系统中,HNN在T=100(约16个摆动周期)时,平均能量漂移降低42倍,平均轨迹均方误差降低15.8倍;其能量漂移保持有界,且种子间变异性显著低于基线。能量分层分析显示,随着轨迹探索相空间中更多非线性区域,性能差距进一步扩大。作为附加诊断,我们对学习到的HNN执行显式斯特默-维尔特式滚动预测。由于学习到的哈密顿量未被约束为可分形式H(q,p) = T(p) + V(q),标准速度维尔特的辛结构保证不直接适用。我们还将相同的方法应用于三维开普勒二体问题,结果显示HNN在轨迹、能量和角动量漂移方面均优于参数匹配的基线。这些实验为哈密顿参数化如何影响两个保守动力系统中的长时预测与物理一致性提供了受控研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Hamiltonian Neural Networks (HNNs) parameterize conservative dynamics through a learned scalar Hamiltonian, providing an architectural prior that is absent from generic vector-field neural networks. We evaluate this prior under a controlled protocol in which an HNN and a parameter-matched feedforward baseline are trained on the same RK4-generated trajectories, use the same central-difference derivative targets and optimization settings, and are integrated at inference with the same RK4 scheme. Results are reported over five independent training seeds. On the nonlinear pendulum, the HNN reduces mean energy drift by 42-fold and mean trajectory MSE by 15.8-fold at T = 100, approximately 16 pendulum periods. Its energy drift also remains bounded and exhibits substantially lower seed-to-seed variability than the standard-network baseline. An energy-stratified analysis shows that the difference becomes more pronounced as trajectories explore more nonlinear regions of phase space. As an additional diagnostic, we examine an explicit Störmer--Verlet-style rollout of the learned HNN. Because the learned Hamiltonian is not constrained to the separable form H(q,p) = T(p) + V(q), the standard symplecticity guarantee of velocity Verlet does not directly apply. We further apply the same matched-integrator protocol to the three-dimensional Kepler two-body problem. The HNN again exhibits lower trajectory, energy, and angular-momentum drift than the parameter-matched baseline. These experiments provide a controlled study of how Hamiltonian parameterization affects long-horizon prediction and physical consistency across two conservative dynamical systems.
