Neural network error correction for solving coupled ordinary differential equations

A neural network is presented to learn errors generated by a numerical algorithm for solving coupled nonlinear differential equations. The method is based on using a neural network to correctly learn the error generated by, for example, Runge-Kutta on a model molecular dynamics (MD) problem. The neural network programs used in this study were developed by NASA. Comparisons are made for training the neural network using backpropagation and a new method (FLUB, fast learning utility for backpropagation) which was found to converge with fewer iterations. The neural net programs, the MD model and the calculations are discussed.<
