Toward a physics-guided machine learning approach for predicting chaotic systems dynamics by Liu Feng, Yang Liu, Benyun Shi, Jiming Liu

“…A critical challenge in modeling chaotic systems lies in their sensitivity to initial conditions; even a slight variation can lead to significant divergence in actual and predicted trajectories over a finite number of time steps. In this paper, we propose a novel Physics-Guided Learning (PGL) method, aiming at extending the scope of accurate forecasting as much as possible. …”
