ReLaTS: a Reinforcement Learning-based method for dynamically determining the coupling Time Step in multi-scale simulations of self-gravitating systems

Veronica Saz Ulibarrena, Simon Portegies Zwart

Astrophysical simulations frequently address multi-scale, multi-physics problems through subsystem decomposition, problem-tailored integration schemes, and coupling on fixed manual…

Reinforcement Learning for Adaptive Time-Stepping in the Chaotic Gravitational Three-Body Problem

Veronica Saz Ulibarrena, Simon Portegies Zwart

Many problems in astrophysics cover multiple orders of magnitude in spatial and temporal scales. While simulating systems that experience rapid changes in these conditions, it is e…

Gargantuan chaotic gravitational three-body systems and their irreversibility to the Planck length

Tjarda Boekholt, Simon Portegies Zwart, Mauri Valtonen

Chaos is present in most stellar dynamical systems and manifests itself through the exponential growth of small perturbations. Exponential divergence drives time irreversibility an…
