arXiv:2609. 01319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: At a junction, a score field can reveal weighted tangent rays, yet these first-order quantities do not determine how individual branches bend or how their densities change away from the center.

Asymptotic-Preserving A Posteriori Analysis of Diffusion and Flow-Matching Samplers

Diffusion and flow-matching samplers integrate a learned probability-flow ODE from a large noise scale down to a small terminal floor $σ_{\min}$, at which the score is stiff and the flow develops a boundary layer. We treat $σ_{\min}$ as a singular-perturbation parameter and determine which fixed-step samplers are asymptotic-preserving (AP), that is, stable and uniformly accurate as $σ_{\min}\to0$, casting the criteria as an a posteriori audit: residual functionals with $σ_{\min}$-uniform coefficients, computable on a pretrained checkpoint without ground-truth scores or exact trajectories.

Branch Geometry and Finite-Radius Sensitivity of Hard-ReLU Training

The paper investigates how hard‑ReLU training behaves when perturbations have a finite radius. It shows that the usual infinitesimal sensitivities are insufficient to predict the response at a chosen radius, and it characterizes the intermediate regime where the perturbation radius scales with the gradient‑descent step. The authors derive crossing indices, a uniform endpoint expansion for separated transverse events, and provide explicit remainder terms in contractive affine regions to certify finite candidate comparisons, supported by experiments on nonlinear networks.
