PV Infrastructure: Gamma Analysis #
Derivative-based bounds on curves near crossing points. These are used in the dyadic PV limit proof for principal value convergence.
Main Results #
gamma_lower_bound_of_hasDerivAt— lower bound ‖γ - γ₀‖ ≥ (‖L‖/2)|t - t₀|gamma_upper_bound_of_hasDerivAt— upper bound ‖γ - γ₀‖ ≤ 2‖L‖|t - t₀|no_return_of_inj_continuous— γ bounded away from γ(t₀) outside nbhd
The integrand times (t-t₀) tends to 1. This is the key estimate: (t-t₀) * (γ-γ₀)⁻¹ * γ' → 1 as t → t₀.
Asymptotic control: ‖(γ-γ₀)⁻¹ * γ' - (t-t₀)⁻¹‖ ≤ ε / |t-t₀|.
Lower bound on ‖γ t - γ t₀‖ from non-zero derivative.
Uses hasDerivAt_remainder_bound + reverse triangle
inequality.
Upper bound on ‖γ t - γ t₀‖ from non-zero derivative.
Uses hasDerivAt_remainder_bound + triangle inequality.
If γ is continuous on [a,b] and injective at γ(t₀), then γ stays bounded away from γ(t₀) outside any neighborhood of t₀.
From γ-space upper bound to t-space upper bound: If ‖γ t - γ t₀‖ ≤ εC and we have the lower bound, then |t - t₀| ≤ 2*εC/‖L‖.
From γ-space lower bound to t-space lower bound: If ‖γ t - γ t₀‖ > εC and we have the upper bound, then |t - t₀| > εC/(2*‖L‖).
If γ is C² at t₀, then deriv γ is continuous at t₀.
