What the math gives to ML
The paper introduces a geometry-derived Fourier weight, \(\omega_\Omega(x)=m(\Omega\cap(2x-\Omega))\), measuring how much a frequency remains inside a reflected overlap of the convex bandwidth domain. Its inequalities control Fourier coefficients after multiplying them by the boundary factor \(\omega_\Omega^{-d}\), providing a principled distinction between robust interior frequencies and fragile frequencies near a spectral boundary. A direct neural-network transfer is a boundary-aware spectral loss or Fourier-layer gain that emphasizes errors and representations near the edge of an allowed band, where discretization and aliasing artifacts often concentrate. The first test should use a convex box or ball bandwidth, compare this construction against unweighted FFT loss and standard radial spectral weighting, and measure accuracy together with high-frequency error and training stability.

Add a Fourier-domain residual loss whose per-frequency weight is determined by the geometric overlap of a convex bandwidth domain with its reflection about that frequency. Frequencies close to the boundary receive larger weight through \(\omega_\Omega^{-d}\), forcing the network to model fragile spectral components instead of optimizing only the high-energy interior. Use clipping or a bounded transform of the singular weight so that a few boundary bins cannot dominate training.
