Abstract

We discuss surrogate models based on machine learning as approximation to the solution of an ordinary differential equation. Neural networks and a multivariate linear regressor are assessed for this application. Both of them show a satisfactory performance for the considered case study of a damped perturbed harmonic oscillator. The interface of the surrogate model is designed to work similar to a solver of an ordinary differential equation, respectively a simulation unit. Computational demand and accuracy in terms of local and global error are discussed. Parameter studies are performed to discuss the sensitivity of the method and to tune the performance.
