Frequency-Separable Hamiltonian Neural Network for Multi-Timescale Dynamics

The paper introduces the Frequency-Separable Hamiltonian Neural Network (FS-HNN), a novel architecture that decomposes Hamiltonian functions into distinct fast and slow modes trained on different timescales to overcome the spectral bias of existing methods and significantly improve long-horizon extrapolation for multi-timescale dynamical systems and PDEs.

Enhancing Sample Efficiency in Multi-Agent RL with Uncertainty Quantification and Selective Exploration

This paper proposes a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm that enhances sample efficiency by combining a decomposed centralized critic with a diversity-regularized ensemble for uncertainty-guided selective exploration, a truncated TD(λ\lambda) variant for reduced-variance off-policy learning, and a mixed-sample actor training approach to balance stability and efficiency.

Identifying Network Structure of Linear Dynamical Systems: Observability and Edge Misclassification

This paper investigates the limitations of uniquely identifying network structures in linear dynamical systems from partial measurements by characterizing the space of consistent networks through observability properties, demonstrating that observing over 6% of nodes in random networks achieves approximately 99% edge classification accuracy while linking structural identifiability to the spectral properties of an augmented observability Gramian.
