Contractivity of integration against a positive operator kernel (L4.2d support) #
If K t is a positive operator for t ∈ (a, b] and ∫ t in a..b, K t = c • 1, then integrating a
bounded scalar weight f against K is contractive up to the mass c:
‖∫ t in a..b, f t • K t‖ ≤ c * sup ‖f‖. This is the bridge from the pointwise positivity of the
double-layer kernel (DoubleLayer.lean, PositiveIntegral.lean) to the sharp symmetrized bound of
Crouzeix–Palencia: the raw double-layer kernel has total mass 4π (DoubleLayerIntegral.lean), so
after the 1 / (2π) normalization of the contour integral the estimate carries the factor 2.
Route: for a positive K, ⟪x, K y⟫ = ⟪√K x, √K y⟫, hence
‖⟪x, K y⟫‖ ≤ √(re ⟪x, K x⟫) * √(re ⟪y, K y⟫) (Cauchy–Schwarz for the positive form); the weighted
AM–GM inequality √A * √B ≤ (s * A + B / s) / 2 turns this into an integrable majorant with
integral
M * ((s * c * ‖x‖ ^ 2 + c * ‖y‖ ^ 2 / s) / 2); optimizing s = ‖y‖ / ‖x‖ gives
‖⟪x, T y⟫‖ ≤ c * M * ‖x‖ * ‖y‖, and an operator with such matrix coefficients has norm at most
c * M.

Requires [CompleteSpace E] for the square root of a positive operator and for the operator-valued
Bochner integrals.
For a positive operator K, ⟪x, K y⟫ = ⟪√K x, √K y⟫.
For a positive operator K, re ⟪x, K x⟫ = ‖√K x‖ ^ 2.
Cauchy–Schwarz for a positive operator:
‖⟪x, K y⟫‖ ≤ √(re ⟪x, K x⟫) * √(re ⟪y, K y⟫).
If ‖⟪x, T y⟫‖ ≤ M * ((s * (c ‖x‖²) + c ‖y‖² / s) / 2) for every s > 0, then
‖⟪x, T y⟫‖ ≤ c * M * ‖x‖ * ‖y‖.

If K t ≥ 0 almost everywhere on Ioc a b, ∫ t in a..b, K t = c • 1, and ‖f t‖ ≤ M almost
everywhere on Ioc a b, then ‖∫ t in a..b, f t • K t‖ ≤ c * M.
