Conjugacy-Regularized Latent Dynamics

Replace orthogonal Procrustes alignment between two latent dynamical systems with a learned bijection h that makes their transitions commute: h(f(z)) approximately equals g(h(z)). Parameterize h as an invertible affine map or coupling flow, allowing the correspondence to be non-orthogonal while retaining an exact inverse. The same constraint can be applied over multiple rollout steps, encouraging two models to represent the same computation even when their latent coordinates differ…

Dispersion-Matched Unitary Fourier State Space

Replace unconstrained per-frequency recurrent dynamics in a Fourier neural operator or spectral state-space model with oscillators initialized from the plasma dispersion relation \(\omega_k=\sqrt{\underline{b}^{2}+|k|^{2}}\). Each Fourier mode first undergoes a norm-preserving rotation at its prescribed frequency, while a small learned residual and optional nonnegative damping account for task-specific dynamics. This should reduce phase drift and exploding or vanishing activations when modeling…

Numerical-Range Stabilization for Nonnormal State Dynamics

Replace spectral-radius-only stabilization of a recurrent or state-space transition matrix with a numerical-range constraint. Penalize directions in which the Hermitian part of a rotated transition matrix has a large maximal eigenvalue, controlling nonnormal transient amplification and polynomial state propagation.
