Sparse Block Upper Constructions

Abstract

Uniform four-cut and two-cut constructions for the sparse binary family.

Theorem 1.1 (The two reductions and both endpoint bits).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Words/Palindromes/PeriodDoubling/SparseBlockUpperSteps.sparse_block_upper_steps (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The displayed sums are the literal integers with binary blocks (100) repeated p times, a gap of z zeros and (10) repeated c times. For epsilon zero or one, an even gap and at least three tail blocks permit four cuts; an odd gap and at least one tail block permit two cuts. The construction uses the exact long and short odd-palindrome radii and preserves the higher prefix. Nat.sub is truncated natural subtraction; mod is natural remainder; val is the natural value of a finite index.
