Exact Sparse Off-Diagonal

Abstract

Exact Sparse Off-Diagonal

Theorem 1.1 (Exact Sparse Off-Diagonal).

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

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

For positive odd a and odd b at least 2a+1, the prefix palindromic length of the sparse integer with binary expansion (100)^a(10)^b equals a+b. The constructed cut path attains the signed-weight lower bound.
