论文摘要
在目前的工作中,我们探讨了一些根发现方法在一系列典型示例中的应用。我们考虑的方法包括:(a)所谓的连续时间Nesterov(CTN)流量方法; (b)其称为平方操作方法(SOM)的变体; (c)上述两种方法的联合作用,采用所谓的通气方法。还提出了更传统的方法,例如牛顿的方法(及其具有放通的变体)。我们的玩具示例始于一个天真的一个自由度(DOF)系统,以提供土地的范围。随后,我们转向一个二-DOF系统,该系统是由软物质结晶的无限二二维,相位晶体(PFC)模型的降低所激发的。一旦阐明了2-DOF系统的景观,我们将转向完整的PDE模型,并说明了低维示例的见解如何导致PDE级别的新颖解决方案与软物质结晶的完整框架相关的PDE级别。
In the present work we explore the application of a few root-finding methods to a series of prototypical examples. The methods we consider include: (a) the so-called continuous-time Nesterov (CTN) flow method; (b) a variant thereof referred to as the squared-operator method (SOM); and (c) the the joint action of each of the above two methods with the so-called deflation method. More traditional methods such as Newton's method (and its variant with deflation) are also brought to bear. Our toy examples start with a naive one degree-of-freedom (dof) system to provide the lay of the land. Subsequently, we turn to a 2-dof system that is motivated by the reduction of an infinite-dimensional, phase field crystal (PFC) model of soft matter crystallisation. Once the landscape of the 2-dof system has been elucidated, we turn to the full PDE model and illustrate how the insights of the low-dimensional examples lead to novel solutions at the PDE level that are of relevance and interest to the full framework of soft matter crystallization.
