Fractional Laplace Neural Operators: Exact Architectures, an Expressivity Frontier at Criticality, and Certified Stability for Memory-Driven Network Dynamics
Read the original on arXiv Statistics ML →The paper introduces the fractional Laplace neural operator (fLNO), a neural operator that embeds Volterra resolvent structures with non‑rational Laplace symbols into learned maps. It demonstrates that a single graph‑spectral layer can exactly represent the full linear Volterra solution for commuting excitation–Laplacian pairs, and establishes limits on the expressivity of finite rational realizations, showing they cannot capture non‑integer critical asymptotics. The authors also provide trainable parametrizations that enforce stability margins, a graphon‑transfer theorem, and empirical results on benchmark data, Chilean aftershock sequences, and renewal models, highlighting the fLNO’s ability to recover branching coordinates with few parameters while maintaining stability.
