L0: Chain rule for zpow compositions #
The derivative of t ↦ (γ(t) - s)^n where n : ℤ and γ(t) ≠ s.
HasDerivAt for (γ(t) - s)^n when γ is differentiable and γ(t) ≠ s.
This is the chain rule applied to z ↦ z^n composed with t ↦ γ(t) - s.
ContinuousOn for t ↦ (γ(t) - s)^n on a set where γ(t) ≠ s.
L1: FTC for negative powers on parameterized curves #
When γ is differentiable and avoids s on [a, b], the integral of
(γ(t) - s)^{-m} · γ'(t) equals the boundary difference of the primitive
(γ(t) - s)^{1-m} / (1-m).
FTC for the integral of (γ(t) - s)^n · γ'(t) on [a, b] when γ(t) ≠ s
on [a, b] and n ≠ -1. The primitive is (γ(t) - s)^{n+1} / (n+1).
L2: Exit times and direction convergence #
For a piecewise C¹ immersion passing through s at parameter t₀, the curve
enters and exits the ε-ball around s at unique parameters near t₀. The
directions (γ(t±) - s) / ‖γ(t±) - s‖ converge to the tangent directions.
Near a crossing point of an immersion, there exists a neighborhood such that the curve only crosses the singularity at that one point.
As ε → 0⁺, the direction from s to the first right exit point of the
ε-ball converges to the right tangent direction (normalized). Specifically,
(γ(t₊(ε)) - s) / ‖γ(t₊(ε)) - s‖ → L_right / ‖L_right‖.
This follows from the first-order Taylor approximation
γ(t) - s ≈ (t - t₀) · L_right and ‖γ(t) - s‖ ≈ |t - t₀| · ‖L_right‖.
Left-side analogue of crossing_direction_right_tendsto:
(γ(t₋(ε)) - s) / ‖γ(t₋(ε)) - s‖ → -L_left / ‖L_left‖.
L3: Boundary term vanishing under angle condition (with flatness rate) #
The FTC boundary terms at the ε-cutoff points have the form w₊^k - w₋^k where
w₊, w₋ lie on the ε-sphere (‖w‖ = ε) and k ≤ -1. Writing w = ε · u
with ‖u‖ = 1, the difference is ε^k · (u₊^k - u₋^k).
Since k ≤ -1, ε^k → ∞ while the angle condition gives u₊^k - u₋^k → 0.
Whether the product tends to 0 depends on the rate of direction convergence:
- With flatness of order
n: direction error iso(ε^{n-1}), givingu₊^k - u₋^k = o(ε^{n-1})and the product iso(ε^{k+n-1}). - For this to tend to 0, we need
k + n - 1 ≥ 0, i.e.,n + k ≥ 1. - At a pole of order
mwith Laurent term(z-s)^{-(k_L+1)}, the FTC boundary exponent isk = -k_L. Flatness of ordern = m ≥ k_L + 1givesk + n - 1 = m - k_L - 1 ≥ 0.
Boundary term vanishing for zpow under angle condition with flatness rate.
When w_R, w_L lie on the ε-sphere (‖w‖ = ε), directions converge to unit
vectors uR, uL at rate o(ε^{n-1}) (from flatness of order n), and the
angle condition ensures uR^k = uL^k, the zpow boundary difference tends to 0
provided n + k ≥ 1.
Bridge: tangent deviation → direction norm difference #
For unit vectors u, v with ‖u - v‖ ≤ 1:
‖u - v‖ ≤ 2 * ‖tangentDeviation u v‖.
This bridges IsFlatOfOrder (stated in terms of tangent deviation) to the
direction rate condition in zpow_boundary_diff_tendsto_zero (L3).
