GKP Log-Concave Lag Mixer

Generate temporal attention or convolution weights with the Graham–Knuth–Patashnik recurrence instead of learning every lag weight independently. For nonnegative recurrence parameters, the resulting lag sequence is strongly log-concave, so its normalized kernel is naturally unimodal and suppresses high-frequency sign-free oscillations without requiring a separate smoothness penalty. The six parameters can be learned per head, channel group, or layer, giving O(1) learned parameters for an…
