Researchers have developed a new perturbative approach to formally derive the central flow model of gradient descent at the edge of stability in deep learning. This method treats gradient descent as a singularly perturbed dynamical system, revealing three distinct timescales: fast oscillations, intermediate self-stabilization, and slow dynamics along minimizers. The central flow emerges as the leading-order term in this expansion, with the self-stabilization mechanism appearing in the subsequent term, offering a deeper understanding of fluctuation persistence.
