Neal Stephenson's Substack. Mostly about the intersection of tech and art, with some excursions, digressions, and tangents. I will talk about projects I'm actively working on. I have a personal financial interest in some of those. Click to read Graphomane, by Neal Stephenson, a Substack publication with thousands of subscribers.

The Fourier Spectral Transformer Networks For Efficient and Generalizable Nonlinear PDEs Prediction
In this work we propose a unified Fourier Spectral Transformer network that integrates the strengths of classical spectral methods and attention based neural architectures. By transforming the original PDEs into spectral ordinary differential equations, we use high precision numerical solvers to generate training data and use a Transformer network to model the evolution of the spectral coefficients. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on the two dimensional incompressible Navier-St…

Differential Spectrum and Boomerang Spectrum of Some Power Mapping
Let $f(x)=x^{s(p^m-1)}$ be a power mapping over $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, where $n=2m$ and $\gcd(s,p^m+1)=t$. In \cite{kpm-1}, Hu et al. determined the differential spectrum and boomerang spectrum of the power function $f$, where $t=1$. So what happens if $t\geq1$? In this paper, we extend the result of \cite{kpm-1} from $t=1$ to general case. We use a different method than in \cite{kpm-1} to determine the differential spectrum and boomerang spectrum of $f$ by studying the number of rational points o…
