Internal Assembly for the Main Theorem #
This file contains helper statements used by PLAcceleratedNesterovLean.MainTheorem. The public

Main theorem: state positions, prefactor 2 #
Explicit-θ form of the main theorem.
Fix a retuning parameter θ satisfying
0 < θ ≤ √(μ/L)/8. When the standard compatibility bound μ ≤ L holds, the
proof delegates to the local convergence theorem. In the complementary
L < μ case, any local non-minimizer would force μ ≤ L, so the theorem is
discharged by the stationary local-constant branch.
For every objective whose minimizer set is an embedded submanifold and which satisfies the local PL, smoothness, and tubular-neighborhood hypotheses, there is an open neighborhood of the minimizer manifold such that Nesterov's state positions stay in the original tubular neighborhood and satisfy
f(xₖ) - f⋆ ≤ 2 * exp(-k / sqrt (L / μ)) * (f(x₀) - f⋆).
Main theorem (public form).
There exists a momentum parameter ρ, depending only on L and μ, such that
for every objective whose minimizer set is an embedded submanifold and
which satisfies the local PL and smoothness hypotheses on an open neighborhood
of the minimizer manifold, there is a smaller open neighborhood such that
Nesterov's state positions stay in the original neighborhood and satisfy the
explicit prefactor-two estimate
f(xₖ) - f⋆ ≤ 2 * exp(-k / sqrt (L / μ)) * (f(x₀) - f⋆).
This internal form exposes the embedded-manifold witness directly; the public
theorem in PLAcceleratedNesterovLean.MainTheorem re-exports exactly these report-level
assumptions from a clean file.
C³-only internal main theorem.
This variant assumes f is C³ on an open neighborhood of its global minimizer
set. The C³+PL Morse-Bott machinery constructs the tubular sub-neighborhood
internally from the first-order theorem hypotheses.
