Sparse Nonlinear Dynamics Models with SINDy, Part 4: The Library of Candidate Nonlinearities

26.6K views on YouTube

This video discusses how to choose an effective library of candidate terms for the Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) algorithm. We discuss how to extend SINDy to include control variables and bifurcation parameters, as well as to include more general rational functions. We also discuss how to avoid the curse of dimensionality with the SVD, autoencoders, and the tensor train formulation. Finally, we show how to use physical symmetries to constrain the library.
