Comment on "Machine learning conservation laws from differential equations"
arXiv:2404.02896
Abstract
The paper [1] by Liu, Madhavan, and Tegmark sought to use machine learning methods to elicit known conservation laws for several systems. However, in their example of a damped 1D harmonic oscillator they made seven serious errors, causing both their method and result to be incorrect. In this Comment, those errors are reviewed.
