Expander parameter checks (Section 4) #
Expander E₁ target frequency check: α₁/(1/3) = 3009/10000.
This verifies that the target of E₁ feeds into E₂.

the companion paper.
Expander E₃ target frequency check: α₂/(2/7) = 329/1250.
This verifies that the target of E₃ feeds into E₄.

the companion paper.
q₀⁴ ≤ 1/16, which ensures that in Case 2 the pure fourfold intersection
has item frequencies at most α₂.

"Its item frequencies are at most q⁴ ≤ 1/16 < α₂".
1/16 < α₂.

Case 1 balancing (Section 5) #
In Case 1, balancing the two recombination inequalities gives M ≤ C₁.
The two inequalities are:
M ≤ A₁ − (1/2) D' where A₁ = 10 + (3/2) D₁ ... (from E₁)
M ≤ 15 + (7/3) D' ... (from E₂)
and D₁ = 6 q₀ + 4 + τ₁ (2 q₀ + 2).
Eliminating D' gives M ≤ (7/3 · A₁ + 1/2 · 15) / (7/3 + 1/2) = C₁.
Reference: Equations (12)–(14) in Section 5 of the companion paper.
Case 2 balancing (Section 5) #
In Case 2, balancing the two recombination inequalities gives M ≤ C₂.
The two inequalities are:
M ≤ A₂ − (2/5) Y where A₂ = 47/5 + (7/5) X₀ ... (from E₃)
M ≤ 47/3 + (11/6) Y ... (from E₄)
and X₀ = 4 p₀ + 6 + τ₂ (p₀ + 1).
Eliminating Y gives M ≤ (11/6 · A₂ + 2/5 · 47/3) / (11/6 + 2/5) = C₂.
