Learning mean-field equations from particle data using WSINDy

We develop a weak-form sparse identification method for interacting particle systems (IPS) with the primary goals of reducing computational complexity for large particle number N and offering robustness to either intrinsic or extrinsic noise. In particular, we use concepts from mean-field theory of IPS in combination with the weak-form sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics algorithm (WSINDy) to provide a fast and reliable system identification scheme for recovering the governing stochastic differential equations for an IPS when the number of particles per experiment N is on the order of several thousands and the number of experiments M is less than 100. This is in contrast to existing work showing that system identification for N less than 100 and M on the order of several thousand is feasible using strong-form methods. We prove that under some standard regularity assumptions the scheme converges with rate O(N-1∕2) in the ordinary least squares setting and we demonstrate the convergence rate numerically on several systems in one and two spatial dimensions. Our examples include a canonical problem from homogenization theory (as a first step towards learning coarse-grained models), the dynamics of an attractive-repulsive swarm, and the IPS description of the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel model for chemotaxis.
