We propose three modules and combine them to obtain two network architectures, coined R-VPNet and LA-VPNet. The distinct feature of the proposed models is that they are intrinsic volume-preserving. In addition, the corresponding approximation theorems are proved, which theoretically guarantee the expressivity of the proposed VPNets to learn source-free dynamics. The effectiveness, generalization ability and structure-preserving property of the VP-Nets are demonstrated by numerical experiments.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.13843v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.13843v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"vpnets-volume-preserving-neural-networks-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/aiqing-zhu/vpnets","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
