Unary centering: the lattice-modulated Gumbel exponent #
Deterministic part of Theorem thm:max_string(i) (source lines 480–485, proof 2815–2850,
inventory P20) and of Theorem thm:max_lh(i) (source lines 537–541, proof 3298–3326,
inventory P24).
Fix q = μ_1 ∈ (0, 1), c > 0 (the declumping constant c_B = 1 - μ_1) and C > 0, and let
x_n = (log n + log (c C)) / log (1/q). For t ∈ ℝ the paper's level is
h_n = m_n + 1 = ⌊x_n + t⌋ + 1 ∈ ℤ (which may be ≤ 0 for finitely many n; the mark index is
h_n.toNat, and TwoPoint.natCast_le_iff_not_toNat_le identifies {H ≤ ⌊x_n + t⌋} with
{h_n.toNat ≤ H}ᶜ for every n). Put Λ_n = q^{t + 1 - {x_n + t}} ∈ (q^{t+1}, q^t].
- Exact identity (
natCast_mul_mul_zpow_floor_add_one):n c C q^{⌊x_n + t⌋ + 1} = Λ_nforn ≥ 1(integer power). WithC = 1,c = 1 - μ_1andx_n = t_n^*this is the display of source line 2821 (tStar_identity). - If
p_k / q^k → C(π_k ∼ C_μ μ_1^k, Lemmalem:ell_asymp(i)), thenc n p_{h_n} - Λ_n → 0(source lines 3305–3309), henceexp(-c n p_{h_n}) - exp(-Λ_n) → 0(source lines 3320–3326); alson p_{h_n}is bounded (π_{h_n} = O(1/n), needed by Corollarycor:declump_zero) andh_n = n^{o(1)}(needed by Lemmaslem:S_rary(i),lem:S_lh(i); the source writesh_n = O(log n)).
O(log n) sequences are n^{o(1)} #
If f_n ≤ A log n + B eventually along l ≤ atTop (with A ≥ 0), then f_n ≤ n^δ
eventually along l, for every δ > 0 (the form n^{o(1)} of the hypotheses of Lemmas
lem:S_rary(i) and lem:S_lh(i)).
The unary centering #
Exact unary identity: n c q^{⌊x_n + t⌋ + 1} = q^{t + 1 - {x_n + t}} for n ≥ 1
(integer power on the left; the level ⌊x_n + t⌋ + 1 may be nonpositive).
The natural unary levels tend to infinity.
The unary levels are O(log n), hence n^{o(1)} (hypothesis of Lemmas lem:S_rary(i) with
r = 1 and lem:S_lh(i) with κ = 1).
If p_k / q^k → C with C > 0 and x_n = (log n + log (c C)) / log (1/q), then
c n p_{⌊x_n + t⌋ + 1} - q^{t + 1 - {x_n + t}} → 0 (source lines 3305–3309, and line 2821 with
p_k = q^k).
exp(-c n p_{⌊x_n + t⌋ + 1}) - exp(-q^{t + 1 - {x_n + t}}) → 0: combined with
Corollary cor:declump_zero this is the lattice Gumbel limit (source lines 2840–2850,
3320–3326).
Bounded mean: n p_{⌊x_n + t⌋ + 1} is eventually bounded, i.e. π_{h_n} = O(1/n)
(hypothesis of Corollary cor:declump_zero, source lines 2836 and 3318).
Specialization to Theorem thm:max_string(i) #
Theorem thm:max_string(i): with π_k = μ_1^k, c_B = 1 - μ_1 and t_n^* = tStar μ_1 n,
exp(-c_B n π_{⌊t_n^* + t⌋ + 1}) - exp(-μ_1^{t + 1 - {t_n^* + t}}) → 0.
