Vanishing Tail Budgets Close

Abstract

Vanishing tail budgets force certified readings to converge to the exact value.

Theorem 1.1 (A vanishing tail budget closes the certified readings).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/TailClosure.vanishing_tail_budget_closes (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A certificate on a cofinal family of finite windows gives an exact value, a reading at every window, and a nonnegative budget bounding the absolute reading error. When those budgets converge to zero along a chosen window filter, the readings converge to the exact value. This is the closure step asserted by the source atom: the infinite object is handled through finite readings and a budget whose disappearance is itself machine checked.

The library search found the exact analytic core in pinned Mathlib. The Lean declaration is therefore a thin honest wrapper: Certificate.error_le supplies the pointwise distance bound, squeeze_zero makes that distance converge to zero, and tendsto_iff_dist_tendsto_zero converts the distance statement into convergence of the certified readings. No independent convergence argument is re-proved here.
