Heat-Wasserstein curvature preconditioner

Replace a Euclidean feature-space metric by a short-time heat-kernel/Wasserstein metric and use it to precondition updates or penalize distortions of local neighborhoods. The first-order correction is a Ricci-curvature term, while the second-order residual captures curvature variation and quadratic curvature effects that ordinary diffusion smoothing misses.

Characteristic-plane spectral damping

Use the determinant of the constrained Fourier system as a frequency-aware conditioning certificate. Frequencies close to the characteristic planes receive stronger Tikhonov damping or lower supervision weight, preventing a neural inverse solver from amplifying measurement noise in modes where analytic inversion is unstable.

Harnack regularization for positive feature fields

Represent a feature field with positive channel amplitudes and penalize violations of the paper's system-wide relative-variation bound. Unlike per-channel total variation, the penalty constrains only aggregate channel mass, allowing channels to exchange mass through signed or non-cooperative mixing while keeping the overall representation stable. The method is most natural for intermediate CNN maps, positive SSM states, or sequence embeddings indexed by a coordinate with meaningful local…

Elliptic Low-Oscillation Feature Layer

Construct a spatially varying diffusion layer whose coefficient matrix is explicitly uniformly elliptic and whose local mean oscillation is penalized. Use it inside an implicit residual block, so the learned operator remains a controlled perturbation of a constant-coefficient elliptic operator rather than becoming an unstable collection of unrelated local filters.

Mean-Curvature Relaxation Layer

Insert a small number of differentiable graphical mean-curvature-flow steps between a neural network's raw vector-field prediction and its task loss. The relaxation performs geometry-aware smoothing rather than isotropic Gaussian smoothing, and it can enforce fixed boundary values after every step.

Logarithmic-Laplacian Feature Regularizer

Add a nonlocal logarithmic-Laplacian penalty to intermediate spatial feature maps or ordered token embeddings. Unlike a standard graph or image Laplacian, the kernel uses scale-free weights proportional to |z|^{-n} and includes a local compensation term, allowing multiscale feature smoothing without simply forcing nearby features to become identical.

Mobility-matched entropy sampler

Build a neural sampler whose deterministic probability-flow dynamics implement the nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation rather than the usual linear Langevin flow. For a selected monotone diffusion law \(P\), use the associated entropy derivative \(\phi'(r)=P'(r)/r\) to define the chemical potential and train a neural velocity field to approximate its descent direction.

Circular Morera Regularizer

Add a multiscale circular-integral penalty to a complex-valued neural field f_theta: R^2 -> C. The penalty directly tests the local contour condition that characterizes holomorphic functions, providing a derivative-free alternative to explicitly penalizing the Cauchy-Riemann residual.

Boundary-Equalized Conformal Neural Coordinates

Train an MLP coordinate map so that its local scale distortion is smooth in the interior and approximately constant on the boundary of the parameter domain. This implements the Chebyshev-Darboux-Milnor principle as a regularizer for neural parameterizations, potentially reducing boundary stretching and improving interpolation quality on learned geometric domains.

Dispersive Analytic Smoothing Block

Insert a short gKdV-inspired spectral flow between neural blocks to regularize rough feature maps without using an isotropic low-pass filter.

Complex-stretched resonance layer

Insert a fixed or learnable complex coordinate stretch outside the region where a neural operator models the physical interaction, so outgoing waves are damped and resonant states become ordinary discrete eigenmodes on a finite grid. Train the network with eigenvalue or resolvent losses computed after the stretch, while preserving the physical field in the interior region.

Grazing-aware kinetic boundary loss

For a neural approximation $f_\theta(x,v)$ of a kinetic transport solution, weight boundary-condition errors by the trace measure induced by the transport field rather than sampling or penalizing all phase-boundary points uniformly. Use $\omega_p(a)=\min\{|a|,|a|^p\}$ with $a=v\cdot n(x)$; $p=1$ is the natural flux weight, while larger $p$ suppresses poorly resolved grazing interactions more aggressively and can be selected from the boundary regularity.

Flux-Balanced Local-Nonlocal Neural Layer

Partition a sequence, image, or graph into regions processed by a cheap local operator and a more expressive nonlocal operator, then couple their boundary activations with a shared continuity equation and a conservative interface-flux equation. The interface correction prevents the local and global branches from creating discontinuities or duplicated information, allowing nonlocal computation to be restricted to selected regions while preserving global consistency.

GLM Energy-Preserving Feature Block

Couple these fields with learned skew-adjoint spatial operators so that the reversible block preserves the squared feature norm, while a separately controlled relaxation term can remove high-frequency or constraint-violating components.

Charged Diffusive-Precession State Space

Replace part of a sequence or spatiotemporal model's unconstrained recurrence with a bank of stable second-order filters whose poles are a frequency-shifted precession pole and a diffusion pole. The chemical-potential parameter produces oscillatory memory, while the diffusion parameter produces scale-dependent decay; a learned residual branch preserves expressivity when the prior is imperfect.

Stable Curl-Sobolev Feature Regularization

Add a curl-Sobolev quotient to a 3D neural network whose intermediate features are vector fields or discrete 1-forms. The regularizer rewards features with strong curl-helicity relative to their L^{2n/(n+1)} curl energy, while an explicit Hodge projection removes exact-form components that lie in the curl kernel. In three dimensions this is a differentiable, gauge-aware alternative to simply penalizing feature gradients.

Singular Gradient-Barrier Continuation

Train a neural scalar field with a singular energy that becomes infinite as the input gradient approaches a prescribed threshold, then increase the barrier strength through a monotonic continuation schedule. Unlike ordinary squared gradient penalties, the barrier strongly prevents late-training boundary violations and targets a strict margin rather than merely minimizing average gradient magnitude.

Capacity-controlled singular-measure regularization

Add a mixed regularizer to a neural field or graph neural network that separates smooth ambient variation from fitting a potentially singular training measure. The training-measure term is weighted by a local reciprocal critical radius, so dense or lower-dimensional regions receive controlled regularization instead of causing unstable gradients or overfitting.

Hadamard Flux Loss for Neural Free Boundaries

Use the paper's boundary Hadamard formula as a sensitivity-weighted interface objective for a neural potential and a neural implicit domain. Boundary points with large outward normal flux receive larger shape-update weight, while the positive mixed Monge–Ampère boundary measure supplies a geometry-aware quadrature weight. This gives a mathematically motivated alternative to uniformly weighted boundary residuals in neural free-boundary and obstacle-problem solvers.

Geometric observability gating

For early diffusion times, suppress supervision or cross-attention demands that are geometrically impossible because signals at distance \(d\) are attenuated like \(e^{-d^2/(2t)}\); gradually release those constraints as diffusion time grows.
