Previous research often focus on static properties of governing equations, while real-world dynamics involve complex, evolving factors that influence the system behavior. This work proposes a novel approach that integrates the single-layer Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KANs) in the downstream operations of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), combined with an alternating training strategy using sparse regression algorithms. Different from the traditional methods, this approach relies solely on sparse data, without any prior knowledge, to reconstruct precise form of governing equations and simultaneously identify the variable-coefficient functions depending on single variables. By symbolizing the spline functions in the KAN layer, it can also derive the exact expressions of these coefficient functions and reveal the key parameters of real physical significance. Furthermore, when extending the framework to high-dimensional problems, KAN’s regularization enables weight sparsity enforcement, which removes redundant neurons and optimizes the network. Experiments on various benchmark problems demonstrate the robustness of our method to varying levels of data sparsity and noise, offering a new solution to the reconstruction and analysis of the governing equations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20050,"journal":{"name":"Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena","volume":"481 ","pages":"Article 134689"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144221996","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}

While much work has focused on event-based time series (timestamp) data, fewer methods address count data, where event counts are recorded in fixed intervals. We develop network inference methods for both batched and sequential count data. Here the strong network connection represents the key influences among the nodes. We introduce an ensemble-based algorithm, rooted in the expectation–maximization (EM) framework, and demonstrate its utility to identify node dynamics and connections through a discrete-time Cox or Hawkes process. For the linear multidimensional Hawkes model, we employ a minimization–majorization (MM) approach, allowing for parallelized inference of networks. For sequential inference, we use a second-order approximation of the Bayesian inference problem. Under certain assumptions, a rank-1 update for the covariance matrix reduces computational costs. We validate our methods on synthetic data and real-world datasets, including email communications within European academic communities. Our approach effectively reconstructs underlying networks, accounting for both excitation and diffusion influences.

Our study advances the mathematical understanding of such models by proving the existence and uniqueness of a global weak solution in one spatial dimension using an iterative approach. This result includes potentially discontinuous detection kernels, explicitly emphasizing the so-called ‘top-hat’ detection function, and does not place any restriction on the rate of advection, thereby addressing some analytical voids in the mathematical discourse on such models. A comprehensive spectral and stability analysis is also performed, providing analytical expressions for bifurcation values contingent on various model parameters, such as species advection rate, diffusion rate, memory uptake and decay rates. Unlike classical reaction–diffusion systems, the point spectrum may now include elements that have an infinite-dimensional kernel. We show the existence of such a point and that it remains negative, ensuring that it does not influence the stability of the constant steady state. Linear stability analysis then provides critical values for destabilizing the constant steady state. We explicitly describe the form of the non-constant steady state near these critical values and classify the nature of the pitchfork bifurcation as forward/backward and stable/unstable. To complement our analytical insights, we explore a targeted case study of three particular instances with the top-hat detection function.
