Replace the black-box equilibrium denoiser in an image-restoration DEQ with a positivity-preserving mirror-descent equilibrium driven by the exact Gamma likelihood and a discretized surface-area/mean-curvature regularizer. The equilibrium layer has a small number of learned scalar or channel-wise parameters instead of a large implicit CNN, while the exponentiated update prevents negative intensities and naturally matches multiplicative noise.
Use dissipative dynamics directly on the SU(d) manifold instead of unconstrained Euclidean recurrent updates. A Riemannian gradient or damped Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-like flow preserves the unitary constraint and supplies an explicit Lyapunov certificate: the associative-memory energy should decrease monotonically until the state reaches a recalled attractor.
Split a recurrent or state-space model into a coarse quotient state \(z_t\) and a leaf or fibre state \(y_t\), where the quotient evolves autonomously and the fibre is driven conditionally by the quotient. Constrain the two transition operators to have independently measurable contraction or correlation rates, then allocate capacity and regularization to the slower branch. This is intended for sequence tasks containing both slowly evolving global variables and rapidly mixing local variables.
Replace or augment an RNN or state-space model hidden state with coordinates on a bounded 3-step nilpotent group. The first layer stores ordinary features, the second layer stores pairwise commutator memory, and the third layer stores nested commutators that can preserve three-time dependencies invisible to first- and second-order summaries. Layered reduction keeps the state bounded while retaining the algebraic interaction structure.
Use the paper's explicitly solved SU(2)-based extremal flow as a structured recurrent transition instead of learning an unconstrained dense recurrent matrix. The transition has only two scalar parameters, a radius/frequency r and phase phi, while its rotating coefficient pattern continuously mixes four real state coordinates and can be integrated with a norm-preserving Cayley transform.
Replace an unconstrained recurrent or state-space transition with a complex-orthogonal flow generated by a skew-transpose matrix. The transition preserves a bilinear quadratic quantity exactly, preventing repeated application across long sequences from causing norm explosion or decay in the linear dynamics.
Add a bounded phase variable and a bank of local affine transport maps to an RNN or state-space model. The phase follows an irrational rotation, while the hidden state is transported through cells whose widths determine local gains, giving a controllable memory mechanism with analytically known distortion rather than an unconstrained recurrent Jacobian.
