Constitutive & multiscale models
Figure 15 compares applied pressure, shortening, and minimum rank-one curvature for ICNN, ICKAN, and unconstrained hyperelastic surrogates under confined compression.

Polyconvex surrogates remain solvable beyond their training domain.

Learned directional features and a polyconvex architecture keep an anisotropic hyperelastic surrogate mechanically admissible outside its fitting range, though this guarantee comes with a measurable cost in in-domain accuracy.

Inverse problems
Figure 3 compares relative acceleration error across an equilateral-triangle sweep for dense/sparse and log-uniform training samples.

Trajectory data can reveal a hidden three-body force.

A Lagrangian neural network with a fixed, known kinetic term can infer a non-additive three-body potential from accelerations—but only if the sampling design captures the configurations that carry the signal.

Multi-objective optimization
Figure 3 presents the median, interquartile range, and individual runs.

Engineering design rarely begins with a blank sheet.

Their local geometry is encoded in how a high-dimensional state responds to design perturbations. A small, explicit Jacobian budget can expose that geometry and prevent an expensive optimizer from having to rediscover it through successive failed evaluations.

Digital twins & system identification
Two side-by-side Allen–Cahn bifurcation plots compare Bi-FORK without particle guidance with the full Bi-FORK method. Ground-truth circles and predictions trace the positive and negative branches as the dimensionless control parameter μ increases; the full method reports lower mode-conditioned error and lower mode divergence.

Generative digital twins are needed for bifurcating systems

Bi-FORK learns one-to-many physical solution maps using latent flow matching and repulsion-guided sampling, maintaining coherent alternative trajectories across space and time.
