Latent-Hysteresis Graph ODEs: Modeling Coupled Topology-Feature Evolution via Continuous Phase Transitions

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.24293v1 Announce Type: new Graph neural ordinary differential equations (Graph ODEs) extend graph learning from discrete message-passing layers to continuous-time representation flows. While it s adaptive long-range propagation, we show that Graph ODEs with strictly positive irreducible mixing operators face an inherent \emph{monostability trap}: in the long-time regime, information leakage is unavoidable and the dynamics converge to a single global consensus attractor.
