TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of the cross of nonlinear optics and deep learning, more particularly, it is particularly related to the reconstruction of supported physical model equation and high-fidelity solution from the light beam transmission process controlled by nonlinear Schrodinger type equation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nonlinear partial differential equations are the core tool for describing the spatiotemporal evolution of optical fields, especially in the field of light beam transmission in complex media. When high-intensity laser propagates in optical fibers or nonlinear crystals, its dynamic behavior is dominated by the complex interaction of dispersion effect, nonlinear effect and diffraction effect, and these processes are usually modeled by generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
[0003] In the case where the PDE display expression is known, the modeling analysis is usually carried out by using traditional numerical methods such as Newton iteration method, step-by-step Fourier method, fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, etc. However, the modeling cost of numerical method is expensive and requires deep professional knowledge and mathematical theory. With the improvement of the availability of observation data and the popularity of artificial intelligence in scientific and engineering fields, data-driven machine learning provides a new way for the research of light beam transmission. In order to integrate some prior bottom physical knowledge into neural network learning, physical information neural network is proposed to study the forward / backward problem of partial differential equation under the condition that only a small amount of data is available.
[0004] However, when dealing with systems whose control equation is partially or completely unknown, it is still a difficulty to discover the physical control equation and reconstruct the spatiotemporal dynamics of light beam transmission from sparse sampling data. Especially for some nonlinear heterogeneous media, variable coefficient model often needs to be considered. However, the current research methods are mostly based on constant coefficient terms and real number solutions, and cannot well handle the discovery of variable coefficient and complex number solution model, therefore, it is necessary to provide an algorithm suitable for the discovery of variable coefficient and complex number system model. The present application realizes the intelligent discovery from a small amount of observation data to a complete physical model, and provides a new paradigm for the research of complex light beam transmission. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the above shortcomings in the prior art, the main purpose of the present application is to provide a model discovery and reconstruction method for light beam transmission characteristics based on sparse physical information neural network, which aims to solve the existing technical problems.
[0006] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows:
[0007] S1, preparing a sparse and low-fidelity data set;
[0008] S2, using automatic differentiation to establish a candidate function library of possible terms behind the data;
[0009] S3, constructing a physical information neural network model with sparse regression to discover the physical model structure of the beam propagation characteristics;
[0010] S4, performing coefficient fine-tuning on the discovered beam propagation model and reconstructing a high-fidelity beam propagation process;
[0011] As preferred, the specific step S1 of making a sparse and low-fidelity data set comprises the following sub-steps:
[0012] S11, obtaining a three-dimensional data set with a spatial size of 256x256 and a time size of 201 by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method as high-precision data;
[0013] S12, simulating sparse data in a real environment by randomly sparse sampling 2500 spatial points and 15 time points (about 0.3% of the total data set), and taking them as the data set for neural network training.
[0014] As preferred, the data set in S1 is divided into training set and validation set according to the ratio of 8:2.
[0015] As preferred, an automatic differentiation is used to establish a candidate function library of possible terms behind the data. Assuming that the physical law behind the data is dominated by only a few important terms, these important terms can be selected from a large space library of candidate functions, and a candidate library function is constructed based on the possible terms (taking the discovery of nonlinear Schrödinger equation as an example), and the step S2 comprises the following sub-steps:
[0016] S21, considering that the transmission of the light beam is a multi-dimensional space-time system, its control equation can be described by a set of nonlinear, time-varying, parameterized partial differential equations, which has the general form:
[0017]
[0018] Where q=q(x,y,t) is the complex solution of the light beam transmission, composed of real part u and imaginary part v, Φ is the term that may exist behind the sparse observation data, and ξ is the coefficient before the term.
[0019] S22, constructing a virtual-real separated candidate library function according to physical knowledge, which is composed of solution terms {u, v}, factorial terms {u 2 ,v 2 ,u 3 ,v 3}, derivative terms {u x ,v x ,u y ,v y ,u xx ,v xx ,u yy ,v yy}, nonlinear terms {|q|2 u,|q| 2 v}, variable coefficient terms {exp(-t), cos(t)}, pump source terms {sin(t), cos(t), exp(-t),} and their combination together constitute the total candidate function library Φ
[0020] S23. Considering that the solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is in complex form, we can separate the real and imaginary forms and obtain the following two forms:
[0021]
[0022] Where f u and f v are the real and imaginary parts after separation, u t and v t are the first-order derivatives of the real and imaginary solutions with respect to time, Φ is the candidate function library, ξ1 and ξ2 are coefficients
[0023] Preferably, a physical information neural network model with sparse regression is constructed to discover the physical model structure, and the step S3 includes the following sub-steps:
[0024] S31. Establish a suitable neural network model and hyperparameters, including network structure (number of network layers and number of neurons in each layer), learning rate, activation function, and optimizer;
[0025] S32. Construct the loss function of the physical information neural network, including two parts: the data part and the physical equation;
[0026] The loss function of the data constructed in the sub-step S32 is:
[0027]
[0028] Where N is the number of prior data points in S1, q i is the actual observed value, q θ is the predicted value output by the neural network;
[0029] The loss function of constructing the physical equation in the sub-step S32 is:
[0030]
[0031] Where M is the number of collocation points used to calculate the physical equations, and are the real and imaginary physical residual terms of formula (4) after the separation of real and imaginary in S23, U(θ) includes u(θ) and v(θ), ξ includes ξ1 and ξ2;
[0032] The total loss function constructed in the sub-step S32 is:
[0033]
[0034] In the formula, μ is a weight coefficient of a physical loss function, used to balance the data impact, where α = 10; γ is a regularization parameter, and ||·||0 is an l0 norm;
[0035] S33, a sparse regression method of open source alternating direction optimization is used to alternately train the hyperparameters θ and the coefficients ξ of the physical information neural network by continuously adjusting a threshold parameter, and the alternating optimization formula is as follows:
[0036]
[0037] S34, an optimizer is set, and an optimizer combined by Adam and L-BFGS is used to continuously update the parameters θ and the coefficients ξ in iteration; and the value of the loss function is minimized, so that a simple physical equation structure supported by sparse data is finally found.
[0038] As preferred, the physical model found in S3 is subjected to coefficient fine-tuning and reconstruction of high-fidelity data;
[0039]
[0040] In the formula, a1~c1 are coefficients of found real part terms, and a2~c2 are coefficients of found imaginary part terms
[0041] A complex fitting method is used to integrate the found real part and imaginary part equations into a complete complex solution equation, and the steps follow the following rules:
[0042] (1), the found real part terms and imaginary part terms should be corresponding terms (such as u xx corresponding to v xx );
[0043] (2), if the signs before the corresponding real part terms and imaginary part terms are opposite, there is an imaginary number i before the fitted term; if the signs are the same, there is no imaginary number i;
[0044] (3), the sign of the fitted term follows the real part;
[0045] (4), the coefficient of the fitted term should be the average of the real part and the imaginary part;
[0046]
[0047] (5), the pump source term is considered independently;
[0048] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0049] 1. The present application starts from sparse and low-fidelity light beam data transmission, discovers the physical equation behind the data expression of space-time dynamics through a physical information neural network with sparse regression, and reconstructs a high-precision prediction solution. It realizes the discovery of light beam transmission model from a small amount of observation data and the reconstruction of complete light beam transmission process, providing a new paradigm for complex light beam control.
[0050] 2. Compared with the current mainstream physical information neural network model, the present application mainly highlights the discovery of potential equations from data under unknown model conditions, providing a unique perspective for subsequent theoretical modeling research. The method proposed by the present application is suitable for reconstructing the dominant equation of light beam transmission with different physical correction terms, such as nonlinear Schrödinger equation with different correction terms.
[0051] 3. The technical solution of the present application can reconstruct a high-precision prediction solution to describe the characteristics of light beam transmission, providing an efficient method for subsequent analysis of more complex physical mechanisms using physical equations.
