Two-sided expansion of the doubled mu functional along the path #

The doubled mu functional is an infimum over a class of doubled fields that does not depend on the coefficient, while the energy of every fixed field expands exactly quadratically along t ↦ perturbCoeffOn U a h t. Testing the infimum with the base minimizer yields the upper second-difference expansion of l.sensitivity.coarse.grained.general.

The printed suggestion to obtain the lower estimate by "applying the same argument with -h in place of h" at the same base field proves an estimate about a - h, not the required lower bound at a + h. The faithful route applies the upper estimate at the shifted base field: testing the base infimum with the shifted minimizer yields doubledMu_perturbCoeffOn_expansion_lower, whose linear term is the one attached to the shifted base.

The exact value-level expansion along the path #

Exact expansion of the doubled energy value along the canonical path. For every doubled field with vector-L² components, E_t(X) = E_0(X) + t ℓ(X) + t² q(X) with no remainder.

Competitor bounds #

The two-sided second-difference expansion #

Upper second-difference expansion at the base field (source: the chain of displays from e.variational.mu.U.P to the final display of the proof of l.sensitivity.coarse.grained.general, upper half). Testing the perturbed infimum with a base minimizer X gives mu_t - mu_0 - t ℓ(X) ≤ t² q(X).

Testing the base infimum with a minimizer X of the shifted problem gives t ℓ(X) + t² q(X) ≤ mu_t - mu_0, where ℓ(X), q(X) are still the base response terms.
