For a complex-valued neural predictor, penalize violations of positive semidefiniteness of the Nevanlinna-Pick matrix on minibatch inputs. Unlike pointwise output clipping, this couples all examples and directly enforces compatibility with a bounded analytic interpolant of prescribed norm $M$.
Replace an ordinary input-convex potential with a potential whose Hessian is encouraged to be symmetric positive definite and symplectic. Add a curvature penalty based on the scalar curvature of the Hessian metric, together with a theorem-derived interior target proportional to the inverse squared distance to the domain boundary. This should suppress pathological third-derivative oscillations while preserving nonquadratic structure near boundaries.
Parameterize a nonnegative neural penalty or energy function as a sum of weighted power-mean differences applied to polynomial features of the network representation. Each atom is globally nonnegative by the power-mean inequality, so the learned penalty cannot become negative or destabilize constrained training, while the cone can represent polynomials outside SOS-plus-nonnegative-circuit certificates.
Replace an unconstrained linear residual adapter by an operator \(T\) satisfying a polynomial relation in the commutator operator \(\Delta_A(X)=AX-XA\). Choose the polynomial roots in a stable half-plane so that repeated commutators become nilpotent, making repeated adapter application terminate algebraically and permitting a finite-polynomial inverse of \(I+T\).
Add a two-output anti-collapse regularizer based on the determinant of the Jacobian Gram matrix, together with a penalty against proportional highest-degree coefficient tensors. The paper's inequality predicts that preserving coefficient non-proportionality prevents the output distribution from concentrating on thin curves or tiny regions, potentially improving coverage of a two-dimensional latent or generative output.
Tie neural parameters across feature channels according to the Schur multiplicity pattern of the fermionic coinvariant representation. In the two-fermion case, use one learned parameter block for each Schur degree instead of independently parameterizing every ordered pair of fermionic channels, eliminating redundant copies while preserving the relevant GL2 channel symmetry.
Replace a monomial polynomial feature block by a fixed Narayana basis transformation. If the input polynomial has nonnegative coefficients and only real roots, the transformed polynomial is guaranteed to have only real roots as well, giving a certified stability-preserving coordinate change for polynomial neural networks.
Represent the active experts or channels of a sparse layer by a presence set and impose a reaction-style dependency graph on possible support changes. During a growth phase, activate only the least support set closed under enabled dependencies; during later pruning, allow trajectory-dependent removals but never add structurally unreachable experts. This should reduce routing churn and dead experts while preserving adaptive sparsity.
Insert a fixed polynomial mixer before an MLP or retrieval index for tuples of discrete features. The mixer maps n+2 bounded scalar feature codes to one or several expanded scalar codes, and the paper's theorem guarantees that its image cannot collapse below order |A|^n when all coordinates come from a finite alphabet A. Use multiple independent permutations or coefficient choices to obtain a vector representation while retaining the deterministic algebraic structure.
