Physics-guided discovery of dynamical dark-energy equations of state through iterative AI reasoning

Clecio R. Bom, Bernardo M. Fraga, Miguel A. Sabogal +3

Phenomenological model building has traditionally relied on human reasoning: equations are proposed from theoretical intuition, analogy, or empirical convenience, and only then tes…
