What the math gives to ML

The paper gives a dimension-sensitive certificate for transient growth of discrete-time linear dynamics with an indefinite selfadjointness constraint. For a recurrent or state-space layer whose transition matrix satisfies A*J=JA, the usual ambient-dimension factor in the Kreiss bound is replaced by the smaller of the minimal-polynomial degree and twice the smaller inertia index of J. This suggests a structured recurrent layer and a resolvent-based regularizer that directly suppresses nonnormal transient amplification rather than merely penalizing eigenvalue magnitude. The main practical opportunity is improved long-horizon stability at fixed state size, although the spectral-disk and resolvent conditions must be estimated numerically.

Inertia-Constrained Kreiss RNN

Replace an unconstrained recurrent transition matrix with a J-selfadjoint matrix A, where J is a fixed diagonal signature matrix with only a small number of negative entries. Add a sampled Kreiss-resolvent penalty to suppress transient amplification while preserving the expressive dimension of the hidden state. The paper's bound predicts that worst finite-time amplification depends on the smaller inertia index rather than the full hidden dimension.
