Let nnn be a natural number and let Φ:R×(Fin n→R)→C\Phi:\mathbb{R}\times(\mathrm{Fin}\,n\to\mathbb{R})\to\mathbb{C}Φ:R×(Finn→R)→C be a function which is C∞C^\inftyC∞ over R\mathbb{R}R (smoothness of order ⊤\top⊤ in N∞\mathbb{N}_\inftyN∞​); fix j∈Nj\in\mathbb{N}j∈N and x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}x∈R. Consider the slice function ggg sending y′∈(Fin n→R)y'\in(\mathrm{Fin}\,n\to\mathbb{R})y′∈(Finn→R) to iteratedDeriv j (t↦Φ(t,y′)) x\mathrm{iteratedDeriv}\,j\,(t\mapsto\Phi(t,y'))\,xiteratedDerivj(t↦Φ(t,y′))x, that is, the jjj-th derivative in the first variable of Φ\PhiΦ, taken at the point xxx, with the second variable frozen at y′y'y′. The conclusion is a conjunction: first, ggg is C∞C^\inftyC∞ over R\mathbb{R}R on (Fin n→R)(\mathrm{Fin}\,n\to\mathbb{R})(Finn→R); second, for every N∈NN\in\mathbb{N}N∈N and every y∈(Fin n→R)y\in(\mathrm{Fin}\,n\to\mathbb{R})y∈(Finn→R), the norm of the NNN-th iterated Fréchet derivative of ggg at yyy, as a continuous multilinear map, is at most the norm of the (N+j)(N+j)(N+j)-th iterated Fréchet derivative of Φ\PhiΦ at the point (x,y)(x,y)(x,y). Thus the bound holds with constant 111, uniformly in NNN and yyy.

This is the quantitative slicing estimate for a smooth function of one real variable and nnn further real variables: partial differentiation jjj times in the first variable and restriction to the slice costs nothing in operator norm beyond shifting the order of the total derivative by jjj. It is used in the construction of smooth bounds for derivatives of oscillatory integrals, feeding MeasureTheory.exists_forall_contDiff_norm_iteratedDeriv_integral_cexp_mul_le_prod_of_contDiff.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
