Full-window branch discovery and loss-selected EnKF continuation for data assimilation

Angxiu Ni

We develop a framework for offline full-window branch discovery, optionally followed by online continuation with an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). Three mechanisms drive the branch…

Ergodic and foliated kernel-differentiation method for linear responses of random systems

Angxiu Ni

We extend the kernel-differentiation method for the linear response (parameter-derivative of averaged observables) of random dynamical systems. First, for the linear response of ph…

Equivariant divergence formula for chaotic flows

Angxiu Ni, Yao Tong

We prove the equivariant divergence formula for the axiom A flow attractors, which is a recursive formula for perturbation of transfer operators of physical measures along center-u…

No-propagate algorithm for linear responses of random chaotic systems

Angxiu Ni

We develop the no-propagate algorithm for sampling the linear response of random dynamical systems, which are non-uniform hyperbolic deterministic systems perturbed by noise with s…

Backpropagation in hyperbolic chaos via adjoint shadowing

Angxiu Ni

To generalize the backpropagation method to both discrete-time and continuous-time hyperbolic chaos, we introduce the adjoint shadowing operator acting on covector fi…

Fast adjoint differentiation of chaos via computing unstable perturbations of transfer operators

Angxiu Ni

We devise the fast adjoint response algorithm for the gradient of physical measures (long-time-average statistics) of discrete-time hyperbolic chaos with respect to many system par…

Recursive divergence formulas for perturbing unstable transfer operators and physical measures

Angxiu Ni, Yao Tong

We show that the derivative of the (measure) transfer operator with respect to the parameter of the map is a divergence. Then, for physical measures of discrete-time hyperbolic cha…

Fast differentiation of hyperbolic chaos

Angxiu Ni

We derive and prove the `fast response' formula for the linear response, the parameter derivatives of long-time-averaged statistics, of hyperbolic deterministic chaotic systems. Th…

Approximating linear response by nonintrusive shadowing algorithms

Angxiu Ni

Nonintrusive shadowing algorithms efficiently compute , the difference between shadowing trajectories, then use to compute derivatives of averaged objectives of chaos with r…

Linear Range in Gradient Descent

Angxiu Ni, Chaitanya Talnikar

This paper defines linear range as the range of parameter perturbations which lead to approximately linear perturbations in the states of a network. We compute linear range from th…

Adjoint shadowing directions in hyperbolic systems for sensitivity analysis

Angxiu Ni

For hyperbolic diffeomorphisms, we define adjoint shadowing directions as a bounded inhomogeneous adjoint solution whose initial condition has zero component in the unstable adjoin…
