Hybrid Newton-BFGS high-index saddle dynamics for accelerating saddle-point searches

Jianyuan Yin, Lei Zhang, Shixue Zhang

We propose a hybrid Newton-BFGS high-index saddle dynamics (HiSD) method for accelerating saddle-point searches. The method constructs a Newton correction on the unstable subspace…

Subspace curvature-scaling high-index saddle dynamics for accelerating ill-conditioned saddle point searches

Jianyuan Yin, Lei Zhang, Zhiyi Zhang

We propose a subspace curvature-scaling high-index saddle dynamics (SCS-HiSD) method to accelerate high-index saddle dynamics (HiSD) for locating ill-conditioned saddle points. The…

A Geometry-Adaptive Deep Variational Framework for Phase Discovery in the Landau-Brazovskii Model

Yuchen Xie, Jianyuan Yin, Lei Zhang

The discovery of ordered structures in pattern-forming systems, such as the Landau-Brazovskii (LB) model, is often limited by the sensitivity of numerical solvers to the prescribed…

Convergence of high-index saddle dynamics for degenerate saddle points on critical manifolds

Tao Luo, Jianyuan Yin, Lei Zhang +1

The high-index saddle dynamics (HiSD) method provides a powerful framework for finding saddle points and constructing solution landscapes. While originally derived for nondegenerat…

Learning task-specific predictive models for scientific computing

Jianyuan Yin, Qianxiao Li

We consider learning a predictive model to be subsequently used for a given downstream task (described by an algorithm) that requires access to the model evaluation. This task need…
