To start with, an auxiliary function is introduced to transform the objective equations into two second order physical systems. Next, the Caputo fractional derivative is approximated through the L1 scheme on graded mesh for resolving the solution’s initial singularity, and correspondingly, the integer order derivatives are obtained via leveraging automatic differentiation of neural networks. Then, the reformulation loss functions corresponding to soft and hard constraints of boundary conditions are adopted to respect the intrinsic causal structure of the physical systems when training the neural network models. Finally, various numerical scenarios, including time fractional fourth order subdiffusion equation, time fractional Kuramoto–Sivashinsky and Cahn–Hilliard equations, are conducted to validate the remarkable effectiveness and robustness of the RTC-fPINNs method.

Recently, it has been shown that such anti-aligning interaction may induce a finite wavelength instability. The instability occurs with an oscillatory frequency. Consequently, the system displays pattern formation. The formed patterns consist of propagative dissipative structures (two counterpropagating traveling waves). Here, we explore the impact of including translational noise in the dynamics. The finite wavelength instability persists; however, the oscillatory frequency only persists if the particle’s self-propulsion speed is larger enough than the translational noise intensity. We focus on this case. Near criticality, where fluctuations predominate, it is possible to distinguish propagative patterns. Moving away from criticality, a new pattern emerges via a secondary transition. Namely, a hexagonal structure formed of rotating clusters. These clusters rotate in unison, giving rise to a global gyratory synchrony. This secondary transition is discontinuous. Finally, we discuss the main ingredients that induce this sort of rotatory synchronization, showing that short-range repulsion might produce a similar effect to translational noise.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20050,"journal":{"name":"Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena","volume":"483 ","pages":"Article 134960"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Super-resolution based on deep learning (DL) offers a promising alternative for reconstructing high-fidelity fields from coarse data. This study introduces and validates a novel hybrid framework that combines classical interpolation with a convolutional neural network (CNN) to perform super-resolution on two-dimensional turbulent flow fields. The architecture is designed to be computationally efficient and physically consistent, leveraging interpolation as a method to assist in simplifying the reconstruction task for the DL model. We evaluated the framework on three distinct turbulent flow cases—interior room airflow, sudden expansion corner flow, and turbulent channel flow—using data from implicit Large Eddy Simulations. The performance was benchmarked against both standalone interpolation methods and conventional CNN-only architectures. Results demonstrate that the hybrid approach provides superior reconstruction accuracy, as quantified by numerical measures including peak signal-to-noise ratio and the structural similarity index. Furthermore, we validate the physical consistency of the reconstructed fields by analysing their energy spectra and turbulence probability density functions, confirming that the model faithfully reproduces the essential characteristics of turbulent flow physics.

Recently, it has been widely recognized that some ubiquitous data sets are more faithfully represented in curved manifolds, rather than in Euclidean spaces. This observation motivated extensive experiments with non-Euclidean deep learning architectures. In many setups, data embeddings on spheres, hyperbolic spaces or matrix manifolds enable more compact models and efficient algorithms. In the present paper we argue that Kuramoto models (including their higher-dimensional generalizations) provide a powerful framework for inferring intrinsic curvature and hidden symmetries of the data. Kuramoto ensembles naturally encode actions of transformation groups (such as special orthogonal, unitary and Lorentz groups). Following decades of studies of the Kuramoto model and its extensions, the corresponding group-theoretic framework is well established. This provides a solid theoretical foundation for geometry-informed architectures. We overview families of probability distributions on spheres and hyperbolic balls which are associated with various Kuramoto models. These probability distributions provide statistical models for encoding uncertainties and designing inference algorithms in geometric deep learning.
