In this video, we explore the stability of the Forward Euler and Backward/Implicit Euler integration schemes. In particular, we investigate the eigenvalues of these discrete-time update equations, relating the eigenvalues to the stability of the algorithm. This basic stability analysis technique, based on the eigenvalues of the update equation, applies to much more powerful integrators.

![AI/ML+Physics Part 5: Employing an Optimization Algorithm [Physics Informed Machine Learning]
This video discusses the fifth stage of the machine learning process: (5) selecting and implementing an optimization algorithm to train the model. There are opportunities to incorporate physics into this stage of the process, such as using constrained optimization to force a model onto a susbpace or submanifold characterized by a symmetry or other physical constraint.
