Abstract: Entropy, since its first discovery by Ludwig Boltzmann in 1877, has been widely applied in diverse disciplines, including thermodynamics, continuum mechanics, mathematical analysis, machine learning, etc. In this paper, we propose a new method for solving the inverse XDE (ODE, PDE, SDE) problems by utilizing the entropy balance equation instead of the original differential equations. This distinguishing feature constitutes a major difference between our current method and other previous classical methods (e.g. SINDy). Despite concerns about the potential information loss during the compression procedure from the original XDEs to single entropy balance equation, various examples from MM reactions, Schlögl model and chemical Lorenz equations in the form of ODEs to nonlinear porous medium equation and Fokker–Planck equation with a double-well potential in the PDE form all well confirm the accuracy, robustness and reliability of our method, as well as its comparable performance with respect to SINDy.
