Concentration for scale arrays — Step 2 (geometric tail for Z_j) #
This module formalizes the paper's Step 2 (e.Zj.tail.twosided) for a single
column j: the combinatorial ⌈n/2⌉-shells argument, the per-shell Markov bound,
and the union-bound + geometric-series assembly giving
P[Z_j ≥ n] ≤ C₂ (2/λ)^p 3^{-(sp/2) d_j} 3^{-(sp/4)(n-2)₊}.
No independence is used here.
Combinatorial core of Step 2 (the ⌈n/2⌉-shells argument).
If E is a finite set of integers, each at "shell distance" ≥ d from j, with
at most 2 members per shell, then having ≥ n members forces some member at
shell distance ≥ d + (n-2)/2 (written 2 d + n ≤ 2·shell + 2).
Per-shell Markov bound. For a nonnegative variable Y with
∫⁻ ofReal(Y^p) ≤ 1 and t > 0, P[Y > t] ≤ t^{-p}.
