# Hamiltonian Neural Network

The following layer helps construct a neural network which allows learning dynamics and conservation laws by approximating the hamiltonian of a system.

DiffEqFlux.HamiltonianNNType

Constructs a Hamiltonian Neural Network [1]. This neural network is useful for learning symmetries and conservation laws by supervision on the gradients of the trajectories. It takes as input a concatenated vector of length 2n containing the position (of size n) and momentum (of size n) of the particles. It then returns the time derivatives for position and momentum.

Note

This doesn't solve the Hamiltonian Problem. Use NeuralHamiltonianDE for such applications.

Note

This layer currently doesn't support GPU. The support will be added in future with some AD fixes.

To obtain the gradients to train this network, ReverseDiff.gradient is supposed to be used. This prevents the usage of DiffEqFlux.sciml_train or Flux.train. Follow this tutorial to see how to define a training loop to circumvent this issue.

HamiltonianNN(model; p = nothing)
HamiltonianNN(model::FastChain; p = initial_params(model))

Arguments:

1. model: A Chain or FastChain neural network that returns the Hamiltonian of the system.
2. p: The initial parameters of the neural network.
