The fixed-dimensional extremal example #
This file formalizes the sharpness construction from §1.2 at δ = 1. The
sample space is (Fin n → Fin (n + 1)), with its uniform law. Coordinate
i is n + 1 when the ith digit is zero, and is zero otherwise. Thus
every coordinate has the two-point law used in the proof outline.
The finite product sample space for the sharpness example.

The good event consists precisely of choices with no zero digit.

Because the threshold is strict, the good event occurs exactly when all coordinates vanish.
The probability of the strict good event in the extremal construction is
exactly the fixed-dimensional constant cₙ.
Under the uniform product model from the sharpness paragraph in §1.2,
the strict threshold event has probability exactly bₙ,₁.
The threshold in the sharpness example is exactly E Sₙ + 1 = n + 1.
The full sharpness statement, with the threshold written in the form used in Feige's inequality.
The sharpness construction in §1.2 proves that no fixed-dimensional
unit-slack lower bound can exceed sharpConstant n.
A lower bound is optimal when every other valid lower bound is no larger.
Equations
- Feige.IsOptimalFixedDimensionalFeigeBound n c = (Feige.FixedDimensionalFeigeLowerBound n c ∧ ∀ (d : ℝ), Feige.FixedDimensionalFeigeLowerBound n d → d ≤ c)
Instances For
Conditional on exact calibration and the deterministic bridge, the paper's unit-slack constant is not only valid but optimal; the sharpness construction in §1.2 supplies the reverse extremal statement.
