API checks for Berarducci residual points #
The approach-zero series has ordinal value ω, hence principal value ω and residual value one.
Its least support exponent is -1. Closed truncation at that exponent retains the coefficient-one
monomial, and translation turns it into the constant-one series, so -1 belongs to X(b).
This example separates Definition 6.6 from two nearby errors. Replacing residual value by
principal value would reject -1, while using strict rather than closed truncation would give the
zero series at -1. The endpoint zero is also excluded, but this is not a semantic separator for
the printed strict inequality: on the domain 1 < v_J(b), the value equation itself already
excludes zero, as proved in the definition module.
The final test uses the same residual point to distinguish the strict tail cutoff (η, 0) from
the nearby closed cutoff [η, 0): the point -1 lies above -2, but not strictly above itself.
The cofinality certificate produces a residual point strictly between -1/1000 and zero. It
therefore distinguishes the proved conclusion of Lemma 6.8 from the nearby false assertion that
the residual-point set of this series consists only of its least exponent -1.
The approach-zero series in the exact domain of principal, residual, and residual-point operations.

Instances For
The packaged residual-point input has the intended underlying Hahn series.
The Berarducci ordinal value of the approach-zero series is ω.
The approach-zero series has principal value ω and residual value one.
Closed truncation of the approach-zero series at its least exponent, translated to zero, is the constant-one series.
The least exponent is a residual point, whereas zero fails the value equation and is excluded.
The residual-point set contains a point strictly between -1/1000 and zero.
The least exponent belongs to the tail cut at -2 but not to the tail cut at -1. This
separates the strict cutoff in residualPointTail from a closed cutoff.
