Tutorial: a beginner’s guide to building a representative model of dynamical systems using the adjoint method

Building a representative model of a complex dynamical system from empirical evidence remains a highly challenging problem. Classically, these models are described by systems of differential equations that depend on parameters that need to be optimized by comparison with data. In this tutorial, we i...

Description
Summary:Building a representative model of a complex dynamical system from empirical evidence remains a highly challenging problem. Classically, these models are described by systems of differential equations that depend on parameters that need to be optimized by comparison with data. In this tutorial, we introduce the most common multi-parameter estimation techniques, highlighting their successes and limitations. We demonstrate how to use the adjoint method, which allows efficient handling of large systems with many unknown parameters, and present prototypical examples across several fields of physics. Our primary objective is to provide a practical introduction to adjoint optimization, catering for a broad audience of scientists and engineers.
