Exact Sparse Diagonal

Abstract

Exact Sparse Diagonal

Theorem 1.1 (Exact Sparse Diagonal).

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

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

For every positive odd a, the sparse integer whose binary expansion is (100)^a followed by (10)^(2a minus one) has prefix palindromic length 3a. The signed-weight lower bound is 3a minus one. The marked charge obstruction excludes attainment of that lower bound; the explicit sparse cut path supplies the matching upper bound. Nat.sub denotes truncated natural subtraction.
