Encoding Cumulation to Learn Perturbative Nonlinear Oscillatory Dynamics. [PDF]
Weak nonlinearities critically shape the long term behavior of oscillatory systems but are difficult to identify from data. A data‐driven framework is introduced to infer governing equations of weakly nonlinear oscillators from sparse and noisy observations.
