Symmetric gauges of square specializations #
Diagonal evaluation and operator absolute value use endomorphisms. They specialize the rectangular seminorm to identical domain and codomain; there is no square structure.
The symmetric gauge #
The symmetric gauge of a unitarily invariant norm relative to an
orthonormal basis b: the norm of the diagonal operator with diagonal x.
Defined on all real vectors, not only sorted nonnegative ones โ the
T-transform descent exploits its subadditivity, homogeneity, permutation
invariance, and single-coordinate sign invariance on arbitrary vectors.
Equations
- N.gauge b x = N (TauCeti.diagOp b x)
Instances For
The induced vector gauge is subadditive, inherited from the norm through diagOp_add.
The induced vector gauge is absolutely homogeneous over โ.
Permutation invariance of the gauge: conjugating the diagonal operator by the basis-permutation unitary permutes the diagonal.
Single-coordinate sign flip invariance of the gauge: flipping the sign of
the j-th diagonal entry composes the diagonal operator with the reflection
through (๐ โ b j)แฎ, a unitary.
The gauge representation: a unitarily invariant norm is the gauge of the singular values, via the operator SVD.
Monotonicity of the gauge #
The gauge of a unitarily invariant norm, packaged as a FiniteSymmetricGauge. Its four
fields are exactly gauge_add_le, gauge_real_smul, gauge_perm and gauge_neg_single,
which is what makes the Hardy--Littlewood--Pรณlya transfer theory
(ForTauCeti.Analysis.Convex.Majorization) apply verbatim: everything below is that theory
read through this packaging, not a second proof of it.
Equations
- N.finiteSymmetricGauge b = { toFun := N.gauge b, add_le' := โฏ, real_smul' := โฏ, perm' := โฏ, neg_single' := โฏ }
Instances For
The induced finite symmetric gauge, unfolded.
Shrinking one coordinate of y (in absolute value) does not increase the
gauge: update y j t with |t| โค y j is a convex combination of y and its
j-th sign flip.
Coordinatewise monotonicity of the gauge on nonnegative vectors.
The T-transform descent #
The T-transform descent on the gauge โ the engine of Fan dominance.
If z is antitone and nonnegative, y is nonnegative, and every prefix sum
of z is dominated by the corresponding prefix sum of y, then
ฮฆ_N(z) โค ฮฆ_N(y).
No total-sum equality is assumed, no majorization completion and no
separation theorem is used: this is
TauCeti.FiniteSymmetricGauge.le_of_prefixSum_le, whose descent averages y with a
transposition of itself, at a cost of one triangle inequality, one homogeneity, and one
swap invariance of the gauge per step.
The Fan dominance principle #
A square seminorm is unchanged by taking the adjoint.
A square seminorm is unchanged by taking the operator absolute value.
