  text: We discretise a recently proposed new Lagrangian approach to optimal control
    problems with dynamics described by force-controlled Euler-Lagrange equations
    (Konopik et al., in Nonlinearity 38:11, 2025). The resulting discretisations are
    in the form of discrete Lagrangians. We show that the discrete necessary conditions
    for optimality obtained provide variational integrators for the continuous problem,
    akin to Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions for standard direct approaches. This
    approach paves the way for the use of variational error analysis to derive the
    order of convergence of the resulting numerical schemes for both state and costate
    variables and to apply discrete Noether’s theorem to compute conserved quantities,
    distinguishing itself from existing geometric approaches. We show for a family
    of low-order discretisations that the resulting numerical schemes are ‘doubly-symplectic’,
    meaning they yield forced symplectic integrators for the underlying controlled
    mechanical system and overall symplectic integrators in the state-adjoint space.
    Multi-body dynamics examples are solved numerically using the new approach. In
    addition, the new approach is compared to standard direct approaches in terms
    of computational performance and error convergence. The results highlight the
    advantages of the new approach, namely, better performance and convergence behaviour
    of state and costate variables consistent with variational error analysis and
    automatic preservation of certain first integrals.

    <jats:italic>exponential trim turnpike</jats:italic> for control systems with
    symmetries induced by abelian or non-abelian groups. Our analysis is mainly based
    on the geometric reduction of control systems with symmetries. More concretely,
    we first reduce the control system on the quotient space and state the turnpike
    theorem for the reduced problem. Then we use the group properties to obtain the
    <jats:italic>trim turnpike theorem</jats:italic> for the full problem. Finally,
    we illustrate our results on the Kepler problem and the rigid body problem.\r\n</jats:p>"

  text: The depth of networks plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of deep learning.
    However, the memory requirement for backpropagation scales linearly with the number
    of layers, which leads to memory bottlenecks during training. Moreover, deep networks
    are often unable to handle time-series data appearing at irregular intervals.
    These issues can be resolved by considering continuous-depth networks based on
    the neural ODE framework in combination with reversible integration methods that
    allow for variable time-steps. Reversibility of the method ensures that the memory
    requirement for training is independent of network depth, while variable time-steps
    are required for assimilating time-series data on irregular intervals. However,
    at present, there are no known higher-order reversible methods with this property.
    High-order methods are especially important when a high level of accuracy in learning
    is required or when small time-steps are necessary due to large errors in time
    integration of neural ODEs, for instance in context of complex dynamical systems
    such as Kepler systems and molecular dynamics. The requirement of small time-steps
    when using a low-order method can significantly increase the computational cost
    of training as well as inference. In this work, we present an approach for constructing
    high-order reversible methods that allow adaptive time-stepping. Our numerical
    tests show the advantages in computational speed when applied to the task of learning
    dynamical systems.

  text: <jats:p>We introduce a new classification of multimode states with a fixed
    number of photons. This classification is based on the factorizability of homogeneous
    multivariate polynomials and is invariant under unitary transformations. The classes
    physically correspond to field excitations in terms of single and multiple photons,
    each of which is in an arbitrary irreducible superposition of quantized modes.
    We further show how the transitions between classes are rendered possible by photon
    addition, photon subtraction, and photon-projection nonlinearities. We explicitly
    put forward a design for a multilayer interferometer in which the states for different
    classes can be generated with state-of-the-art experimental techniques. Limitations
    of the proposed designs are analyzed using the introduced classification, providing
    a benchmark for the robustness of certain states and classes.</jats:p>

  text: It has been shown recently that optimal control problems with the dynamical
    constraint given by a second order system admit a regular Lagrangian formulation.
    This implies that the optimality conditions can be obtained in a new form based
    on the variational approach. In this paper we extend the first order necessary
    optimality conditions obtained previously to second order optimality conditions.
    This results in a complete characterization of the optimality conditions in a
    new Lagrangian form.

  text: 'We introduce a new classification of multimode states with a fixed number
    of photons. This classification is based on the factorizability of homogeneous
    multivariate polynomials and is invariant under unitary transformations. The classes
    physically correspond to field excitations in terms of single and multiple photons,
    each of which being in an arbitrary irreducible superposition of quantized modes.
    We further show how the transitions between classes are rendered possible by photon
    addition, photon subtraction, and photon-projection nonlinearities. We explicitly
    put forward a design for a multilayer interferometer in which the states for different
    classes can be generated with state-of-the-art experimental techniques. Limitations
    of the proposed designs are analyzed using the introduced classification, providing
    a benchmark for the robustness of certain states and classes. '

  text: The article introduces a method to learn dynamical systems that are governed
    by Euler–Lagrange equations from data. The method is based on Gaussian process
    regression and identifies continuous or discrete Lagrangians and is, therefore,
    structure preserving by design. A rigorous proof of convergence as the distance
    between observation data points converges to zero and lower bounds for convergence
    rates are provided. Next to convergence guarantees, the method allows for quantification
    of model uncertainty, which can provide a basis of adaptive sampling techniques.
    We provide efficient uncertainty quantification of any observable that is linear
    in the Lagrangian, including of Hamiltonian functions (energy) and symplectic
    structures, which is of interest in the context of system identification. The
    article overcomes major practical and theoretical difficulties related to the
    ill-posedness of the identification task of (discrete) Lagrangians through a careful
    design of geometric regularisation strategies and through an exploit of a relation
    to convex minimisation problems in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.

  text: In this work, we consider optimal control problems for mechanical systems
    with fixed initial and free final state and a quadratic Lagrange term. Specifically,
    the dynamics is described by a second order ODE containing an affine control term.
    Classically, Pontryagin's maximum principle gives necessary optimality conditions
    for the optimal control problem. For smooth problems, alternatively, a variational
    approach based on an augmented objective can be followed. Here, we propose a new
    Lagrangian approach leading to equivalent necessary optimality conditions in the
    form of Euler-Lagrange equations. Thus, the differential geometric structure (similar
    to classical Lagrangian dynamics) can be exploited in the framework of optimal
    control problems. In particular, the formulation enables the symplectic discretisation
    of the optimal control problem via variational integrators in a straightforward
    way.

  text: 'We show how to learn discrete field theories from observational data of fields
    on a space-time lattice. For this, we train a neural network model of a discrete
    Lagrangian density such that the discrete Euler--Lagrange equations are consistent
    with the given training data. We, thus, obtain a structure-preserving machine
    learning architecture. Lagrangian densities are not uniquely defined by the solutions
    of a field theory. We introduce a technique to derive regularisers for the training
    process which optimise numerical regularity of the discrete field theory. Minimisation
    of the regularisers guarantees that close to the training data the discrete field
    theory behaves robust and efficient when used in numerical simulations. Further,
    we show how to identify structurally simple solutions of the underlying continuous
    field theory such as travelling waves. This is possible even when travelling waves
    are not present in the training data. This is compared to data-driven model order
    reduction based approaches, which struggle to identify suitable latent spaces
    containing structurally simple solutions when these are not present in the training
    data. Ideas are demonstrated on examples based on the wave equation and the Schrödinger
    equation. '

    We show how to learn discrete field theories from observational data of fields on a space-time lattice. For this, we train
    a neural network model of a discrete Lagrangian density such that the discrete Euler–Lagrange equations are consistent

    densities are not uniquely defined by the solutions of a field theory. We introduce a technique to derive regularisers for
    the training process which optimise numerical regularity of the discrete field theory. Minimisation of the regularisers

    such as travelling waves. This is possible even when travelling waves are not present in the training data. This is

  text: By one of the most fundamental principles in physics, a dynamical system will
    exhibit those motions which extremise an action functional. This leads to the
    formation of the Euler-Lagrange equations, which serve as a model of how the system
    will behave in time. If the dynamics exhibit additional symmetries, then the motion
    fulfils additional conservation laws, such as conservation of energy (time invariance),
    momentum (translation invariance), or angular momentum (rotational invariance).
    To learn a system representation, one could learn the discrete Euler-Lagrange
    equations, or alternatively, learn the discrete Lagrangian function Ld which defines
    them. Based on ideas from Lie group theory, in this work we introduce a framework
    to learn a discrete Lagrangian along with its symmetry group from discrete observations
    of motions and, therefore, identify conserved quantities. The learning process
    does not restrict the form of the Lagrangian, does not require velocity or momentum
    observations or predictions and incorporates a cost term which safeguards against
    unwanted solutions and against potential numerical issues in forward simulations.
    The learnt discrete quantities are related to their continuous analogues using
    variational backward error analysis and numerical results demonstrate the improvement
    such models can have both qualitatively and quantitatively even in the presence
    of noise.

  text: 'The article shows how to learn models of dynamical systems from data which
    are governed by an unknown variational PDE. Rather than employing reduction techniques,
    we learn a discrete field theory governed by a discrete Lagrangian density $L_d$
    that is modelled as a neural network. Careful regularisation of the loss function
    for training $L_d$ is necessary to obtain a field theory that is suitable for
    numerical computations: we derive a regularisation term which optimises the solvability
    of the discrete Euler--Lagrange equations. Secondly, we develop a method to find
    solutions to machine learned discrete field theories which constitute travelling
    waves of the underlying continuous PDE.'

    The article shows how to learn models of dynamical systems
    from data which are governed by an unknown variational PDE. Rather
    than employing reduction techniques, we learn a discrete field theory
    governed by a discrete Lagrangian density Ld that is modelled as a neural network. Careful regularisation of the loss function for training Ld is
    necessary to obtain a field theory that is suitable for numerical computations: we derive a regularisation term which optimises the solvability of
    the discrete Euler–Lagrange equations. Secondly, we develop a method to
    find solutions to machine learned discrete field theories which constitute
    travelling waves of the underlying continuous PDE.

  text: "The principle of least action is one of the most fundamental physical principle.
    It says that among all possible motions connecting two points in a phase space,
    the system will exhibit those motions which extremise an action functional. Many
    qualitative features of dynamical systems, such as the presence of conservation
    laws and energy balance equations, are related to the existence of an action functional.
    Incorporating variational structure into learning algorithms for dynamical systems
    is, therefore, crucial in order to make sure that the learned model shares important
    features with the exact physical system. In this paper we show how to incorporate
    variational principles into trajectory predictions of learned dynamical systems.
    The novelty of this work is that (1) our technique relies only on discrete position
    data of observed trajectories. Velocities or conjugate momenta do not need to
    be observed or approximated and no prior knowledge about the form of the variational
    principle is assumed. Instead, they are recovered using backward error analysis.
    (2) Moreover, our technique compensates discretisation errors when trajectories
    are computed from the learned system. This is important when moderate to large
    step-sizes are used and high accuracy is required. For this,\r\nwe introduce and
    rigorously analyse the concept of inverse modified Lagrangians by developing an
    inverse version of variational backward error analysis. (3) Finally, we introduce
    a method to perform system identification from position observations only, based
    on variational backward error analysis."

  text: The numerical solution of an ordinary differential equation can be interpreted
    as the exact solution of a nearby modified equation. Investigating the behaviour
    of numerical solutions by analysing the modified equation is known as backward
    error analysis. If the original and modified equation share structural properties,
    then the exact and approximate solution share geometric features such as the existence
    of conserved quantities. Conjugate symplectic methods preserve a modified symplectic
    form and a modified Hamiltonian when applied to a Hamiltonian system. We show
    how a blended version of variational and symplectic techniques can be used to
    compute modified symplectic and Hamiltonian structures. In contrast to other approaches,
    our backward error analysis method does not rely on an ansatz but computes the
    structures systematically, provided that a variational formulation of the method
    is known. The technique is illustrated on the example of symmetric linear multistep
    methods with matrix coefficients.

  text: "Recently, Hamiltonian neural networks (HNN) have been introduced to incorporate
    prior physical knowledge when\r\nlearning the dynamical equations of Hamiltonian
    systems. Hereby, the symplectic system structure is preserved despite\r\nthe data-driven
    modeling approach. However, preserving symmetries requires additional attention.
    In this research, we\r\nenhance the HNN with a Lie algebra framework to detect
    and embed symmetries in the neural network. This approach\r\nallows to simultaneously
    learn the symmetry group action and the total energy of the system. As illustrating
    examples,\r\na pendulum on a cart and a two-body problem from astrodynamics are
    considered."

  text: Many problems in science and engineering require an efficient numerical approximation
    of integrals or solutions to differential equations. For systems with rapidly
    changing dynamics, an equidistant discretization is often inadvisable as it results
    in prohibitively large errors or computational effort. To this end, adaptive schemes,
    such as solvers based on Runge–Kutta pairs, have been developed which adapt the
    step size based on local error estimations at each step. While the classical schemes
    apply very generally and are highly efficient on regular systems, they can behave
    suboptimally when an inefficient step rejection mechanism is triggered by structurally
    complex systems such as chaotic systems. To overcome these issues, we propose
    a method to tailor numerical schemes to the problem class at hand. This is achieved
    by combining simple, classical quadrature rules or ODE solvers with data-driven
    time-stepping controllers. Compared with learning solution operators to ODEs directly,
    it generalizes better to unseen initial data as our approach employs classical
    numerical schemes as base methods. At the same time it can make use of identified
    structures of a problem class and, therefore, outperforms state-of-the-art adaptive
    schemes. Several examples demonstrate superior efficiency. Source code is available
    at https://github.com/lueckem/quadrature-ML.
