What the math gives to ML

The paper develops a constructive way to retain high-order accuracy when uniformly sampled periodic integrals contain an integrable power-law singularity. Its transferable asset is the combination of a fixed local stencil modification, analytically continued lattice-sum coefficients, and an explicit error rate that improves with correction order without abandoning tensor-grid structure. This maps directly to singular convolution layers in neural operators, particle-free graph networks, and periodic PDE surrogates: replace the few kernel samples near zero rather than refining the entire grid. The most useful first experiment is a periodic neural integral layer with a known |x|^{-s} singular component, comparing the corrected layer against naive sampled convolution at equal resolution and FLOPs.

Zeta-Corrected Singular Integral Layer

Construct a periodic neural integral layer whose fixed singular kernel behaves like |y|^{-s} near the origin, but whose samples on the uniform grid are replaced on a small symmetric stencil by SinCoTrap correction weights. The correction cancels low-order Taylor errors caused by sampling the singularity, while all nonlocal grid points remain unchanged. Increasing the correction order from p=0 to p=1 or p=2 should reduce discretization error without increasing global grid resolution.
