One scalar size, two encodings #
A doubled block is measured against a positive reference block in two ways in this development.
The setup layer uses the Loewner recipe stated for the reference imbalance:
blockSize H F is the least t ≥ 0 with -tF ≤ H ≤ tF, an infimum
taken in the structural block dialect and involving no matrix square root. The
canonical block geometry uses the spectral recipe
relSize P Q = ‖Q^{-1/2} P Q^{-1/2}‖ on the flattened carrier.
On a positive semidefinite numerator and a positive definite denominator the two
recipes name the same real number, and this file proves it. Two observations
are all that is needed. First, relSize P Q is the least element of the set of
nonnegative scalars t with P ≤ tQ, by relSize_le_iff together with
le_relSize_smul, so it is that set's infimum. Second, the extra lower
constraint -tF ≤ H carried by the defining set of blockSize is vacuous once
0 ≤ H, 0 ≤ F and 0 ≤ t, so the two defining sets coincide after the
bridge of HCPoly.Geometry.BlockBridge transports the quadratic-form order to
the Loewner order.
The consequence recorded last is the identity a consumer of the reference
imbalance needs: the reference ratio κ_𝐄 of the setup layer and the imbalance
𝔡(𝐄) of e.response.canonical.imbalance are literally the same real number.
The companion statement for the excess size reads blockExcess H F off the same
relative size, normalized by one.
The relative size as an infimum #
The relative size is the least nonnegative scalar Loewner bound. This
repackages relSize_le_iff and le_relSize_smul as an IsLeast statement.
Symmetry bookkeeping in the structural dialect #
A scalar dilation of a symmetric block is symmetric.
Symmetry of the flattened matrix is structural symmetry; the converse of
isSymm_toFullBlockMat.
A block whose flattening is positive semidefinite is symmetric.
The two scalar sizes agree #
The setup layer's scalar size is the relative size of the canonical block
geometry. Positive semidefiniteness of the numerator is what makes the lower
Loewner constraint -tF ≤ H of blockSize vacuous, so that the defining set of
blockSize H F is exactly the set of nonnegative scalar Loewner bounds whose
least element is relSize.
The reference ratio and the canonical imbalance are the same number.
The setup layer's reference ratio κ_𝐄 = |𝐄_*^{-1/2}𝐄𝐄_*^{-1/2}| and the
imbalance 𝔡(𝐄) of e.response.canonical.imbalance agree on every positive
symmetric block.
The excess size is the relative size, normalized by one. The set
defining blockExcess H F is the set of t ≥ 0 with relSize ≤ 1 + t, so it
is a closed half-line and its infimum is the positive part of relSize - 1.
