Backpropagation is typically presented as a symbolic procedure: a backward pass topologically distinct from inference, with non-local error signals and synchronous global clocking, features with no clear analog in physical reality. Existing…

Hamilton's principle plays a central role in fluid mechanics as a fundamental tool for deriving governing equations, analyzing conservation laws, and designing structure-preserving numerical schemes. However, its classical formulation is…

We consider the (barotropic) Euler system describing the motion of a compressible inviscid fluid driven by a stochastic forcing. Adapting the method of convex integration we show that the initial value problem is ill-posed in the class of…

For any $2<p<\infty$ we prove that there exists an initial velocity field $v^\circ\in L^2$ with vorticity $\omega^\circ\in L^1\cap L^p$ for which there are infinitely many bounded admissible solutions $v\in C_tL^2$ to the 2D Euler equation.…
