Non-degeneracy of the ellipsoids E_r #
The ellipsoids
E_r = {x : x · s_bar⁻¹ x ≤ λ_bar⁻¹ r²}
of e.homogenized.ellipsoids are the domains on
which the corrector estimate
e.random.corrector, the Lipschitz
estimate e.random.energy and the
C^{1,ϑ} estimate e.random.regularity are read.
Each of those is written through a volume-normalized average over E_r, and
such an average carries the intended meaning only when E_r is a measurable set
of positive finite volume. This module proves exactly that, together with the
Loewner and positive-definiteness facts that the proof consumes.
The two halves are separately elementary.
- Positive volume is unconditional. The scalar Loewner bound
x · M x ≤ |M| ‖x‖²holds for every matrix, soE_rcontains the concentric Euclidean ball of radiusr, which is open and nonempty forr > 0. No positivity, symmetry or invertibility hypothesis onāis used. - Finite volume needs the positive definiteness of the symmetric part
s_bar, and follows from the reverse bound‖x‖² ≤ (x · s_bar⁻¹ x) |s_bar|. That bound is Cauchy–Schwarz for the positive semidefinite form ofs_bar⁻¹applied to the pair(x, s_bar x); no eigenvalue theory enters.
The scalar Loewner bound in quadratic-form shape #
matLoewnerLE_specBound_smul_one is unconditional: every matrix satisfies
M ≤ |M| · I in the Loewner order. Written on the quadratic form this is the
pointwise bound x · M x ≤ |M| ‖x‖², which is the only ingredient the ellipsoid
inclusion needs.
The Euclidean ball sits inside the ellipsoid #
This holds for every abar, with no positivity, symmetry or invertibility
hypothesis: on euclideanBallAt 0 r one has ‖x‖² < r², the Loewner bound gives
x · s_bar⁻¹ x ≤ |s_bar⁻¹| ‖x‖², and |s_bar⁻¹| ≥ 0 (specBound_nonneg, also
unconditional) lets the two be multiplied.
The ellipsoid contains the concentric Euclidean ball of the same radius, unconditionally.
The bridge to Matrix.PosDef #
symmPart is Hermitian by construction.
The bridge. The elementwise positivity statement of the Dirichlet
clause is Mathlib's Matrix.PosDef for the symmetric part. star x ⬝ᵥ M *ᵥ x
and vecDot x (matVecMul M x) are definitionally equal on Vec d.
The converse reading of Matrix.PosDef on Vec d.
Measurability, the centre, and positive volume #
The ellipsoid quadratic form is continuous.
The ellipsoid is measurable.
The ellipsoid has positive volume for positive radius; no hypothesis on
abar is needed, because the ellipsoid contains the concentric Euclidean ball
of the same radius.
The reverse Loewner bound, and finite volume #
The inverse quadratic form of a positive definite matrix is nonnegative.
The reverse Loewner bound of a positive definite matrix, obtained from
Cauchy–Schwarz for the positive semidefinite form of S⁻¹ — no eigenvalue
theory is used:
‖x‖⁴ = (x · S⁻¹ (S x))² ≤ (x · S⁻¹ x)(S x · S⁻¹ S x) = (x · S⁻¹ x)(x · S x).
Every point of the ellipsoid obeys an explicit Euclidean bound.
The ellipsoid is a bounded domain.
The ellipsoid is bornologically bounded.
The ellipsoid has finite volume.
The non-degeneracy statement. Under the positivity of the symmetric
part of ā, every ellipsoid of positive radius is a measurable set of positive
finite volume containing the origin, so the volume-normalized averages read on
E_r are neither 0/0 nor ∞/∞.
