Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian

BOUNDARYS0 · dim 4

Partial / unstable. SolvSRK survives more than 0% but less than 90% of runs at the comparison noise level, without being beaten by a baseline there. Usable with margin and monitoring; validate on your own configuration. All verdicts →

Problem definition

Canonical benchmark implementation

Canonical RHS excerpt from the registered callable used for this benchmark cell. Expand it to verify the state equations; it is not a standalone runnable fixture.

Show canonical RHS excerpt
def _henon_heiles_rhs(t, y):
    q1, q2, p1, p2 = y
    return np.array([
        p1,
        p2,

        -q2 - q1**2 + q2**2,
    ])
Parameters
  • No captured parameters; constants are explicit in the RHS excerpt.
Initial condition
y(0) = [0, 0.1, 0.5, 0]
Horizon
t ∈ [0, 1000]

Results matrix

Pick an objective and a noise level to rank all arms on survival, median SCD, median nfev, and median wall time. Medians across seeds.

Objective

Best overall trade-off of survival, precision, and speed.

At Clean, best balanced arm is Vern9 · SolvSRK survival 100%, SCD 5.3.

Values are medians across seeds, measured by Resonix Labs on Resonix hardware and not independently verified; nfev and wall are on reference lab hardware (indicative). Under injected noise only SolvSRK and the SciPy arms are run. How we measure accuracy → · Verification status →
