A hybrid approach for solving the gravitational N-body problem with Artificial Neural Networks

1 code implementation31 Oct 2023 Veronica Saz Ulibarrena, Philipp Horn, Simon Portegies Zwart, Elena Sellentin, Barry Koren, Maxwell X. Cai

To increase the robustness of a method that uses neural networks, we propose a hybrid integrator that evaluates the prediction of the network and replaces it with the numerical solution if considered inaccurate.

Neural Symplectic Integrator with Hamiltonian Inductive Bias for the Gravitational $N$-body Problem

1 code implementation28 Nov 2021 Maxwell X. Cai, Simon Portegies Zwart, Damian Podareanu

The gravitational $N$-body problem, which is fundamentally important in astrophysics to predict the motion of $N$ celestial bodies under the mutual gravity of each other, is usually solved numerically because there is no known general analytical solution for $N>2$.

Newton vs the machine: solving the chaotic three-body problem using deep neural networks

2 code implementations16 Oct 2019 Philip G. Breen, Christopher N. Foley, Tjarda Boekholt, Simon Portegies Zwart

Since its formulation by Sir Isaac Newton, the problem of solving the equations of motion for three bodies under their own gravitational force has remained practically unsolved.

On the Reliability of N-body Simulations

1 code implementation24 Nov 2014 Tjarda Boekholt, Simon Portegies Zwart

A way to test this hypothesis is to make a direct comparison of an ensemble of solutions obtained by conventional methods with an ensemble of true solutions.
