Uniform CDFConvergence

Abstract

Pointwise convergence to a continuous distribution function implies uniform convergence.

Theorem 1.1 (monotone_cdf_pointwise_to_uniform).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/Probability/UniformCDFConvergence.monotone_cdf_pointwise_to_uniform (✓ std3). ∎

Citation. Rick Durrett (2019). Probability: Theory and Examples, Fifth Edition. DOI: 10.1017/9781108591034. URL: https://services.math.duke.edu/~rtd/PTE/PTE5_011119.pdf.

Commentary.

Monotone distribution functions converging pointwise to a continuous distribution function converge uniformly on the whole real line. The proof uses a finite compact cover and the two limiting tails. See Durrett, Exercise 3.2.9.

Lemma 1.2 (gaussian_charFun_standard).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/Probability/UniformCDFConvergence.gaussian_charFun_standard (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The characteristic function of the standard Gaussian at a real frequency u is exp(-u^2/2).

Lemma 1.3 (gaussian_factor_norm_le).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/Probability/UniformCDFConvergence.gaussian_factor_norm_le (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A Gaussian factor with nonnegative variance has complex norm at most one at every real frequency.

Theorem 1.4 (charFun_limit_uniform_gaussian_cdf).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/Probability/UniformCDFConvergence.charFun_limit_uniform_gaussian_cdf (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

Convergence of the characteristic functions to the standard Gaussian characteristic function gives uniform convergence of the cumulative distribution functions. The Gaussian CDF is Mathlib cdf (gaussianReal 0 1). Lévy continuity is combined with the uniform-CDF result of Durrett, Exercise 3.2.9.

Commentary.

The characteristic function of the centered Bernoulli variable. Real coefficients and phases are coerced into the complex numbers.

Theorem 1.6 (centered_bernoulli_charFun_tendsto).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/Probability/UniformCDFConvergence.centered_bernoulli_charFun_tendsto (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

Divergence of row variances gives the standard Gaussian characteristic function at each fixed frequency.

Lemma 1.7 (centeredBernoulli_eq_phase).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/Probability/UniformCDFConvergence.centeredBernoulli_eq_phase (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Centering factors the characteristic function into a phase and the uncentered Bernoulli characteristic function.

Theorem 1.8 (normalized_bernoulli_product_envelope).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

On the principal frequency interval, the normalized product is bounded by exp(-2u^2/pi^2), an integrable envelope independent of the row.

Formalization. D5/S3/Analytic/Probability/UniformCDFConvergence.bernoulliWeight (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The atom weight is the product of p(i) for true coordinates and 1-p(i) for false coordinates. The conditional tests whether x(i) is true.

The probability space is the product of the two-point measures bernoulliMeasure true false p(i).
