What the math gives to ML

The paper provides an exact spectral-basis update for polynomially prepared initial states: replacing x_0 by Q(H)x_0 reweights the reference spectral measure by |Q|^2, and the new orthogonal-polynomial basis is connected to the old one through a finite-width transformation. The important transferable asset is computational reuse: one Lanczos factorization can support many learned polynomial seeds without rerunning Lanczos in the ambient state dimension. This can become a shared spectral propagation module for graph neural networks or linear state-space layers, where several seed responses are combined by a learned gate.

Finite-Band Polynomial Seed Bank

Construct one reference Lanczos basis for a symmetric propagation operator H, then derive several seed-specific spectral responses for Q_a(H)x_0 through finite-band polynomial connectors. With degree-r seeds, each transformed basis vector uses at most 2r+1 neighboring reference basis vectors, avoiding a separate Lanczos factorization for every seed.
