New methods enable gradient-based learning for differential-algebraic equations with events

Researchers have developed two novel methods for computing gradients in differentiable parameter optimization for differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) that involve state-dependent events. These methods address the challenges posed by implicitly defined algebraic variables, parameter-dependent event times, and discontinuities introduced by reset maps. The first approach uses automatic differentiation through simulation, differentiating the algebraic solve via the implicit function theorem and handling events with segmented integration. The second method employs an explicit discrete-adjoint approach, treating forward simulation residuals as equality constraints to compute gradients. AI
