Let be a real normed space and . Suppose tends to in as : is on for some , and for every the -th derivative tends to uniformly in . Suppose moreover that for all and all . Then for every the function decays like in : for every there are and with for and all .
This upgrades exponential decay to exponential decay at any slightly smaller rate, uniform over all derivative orders, for maps on a cylindrical end that are already known to converge in .
Formalization Note The hypothesis is TendstoZeroCInfty f and the conclusion is ∀ b < δ, ExpDecayCInfty f b, with derivatives iteratedFDeriv ℝ m f.

/-- If `f(s, t)` tends to `0` in `C^∞` as `s → +∞` (uniformly in `t`) and `‖f(s, t)‖ ≤ C e^{-δs}`
for `s ≥ s₀`, then `f` decays in `C^∞` like `e^{-bs}` for every rate `b < δ`. -/
