Let Ω be bounded and open and let P be admissible and uniformly elliptic with vanishing first-order coefficients. There exist a real shift μ and a compact symmetric continuous linear operator K on L²(Ω), equal to the Dirichlet resolvent (L+μI)⁻¹, whose quadratic form is strictly positive on nonzero vectors. For every κ > 0 and every f satisfying Kf = κf, there is u in H¹₀(Ω) with L² class f and Lu = (1/κ−μ)u weakly against every H¹₀ test function. The zero vector is permitted. No spectral basis or ordering is assumed or concluded here. The analytic proof uses the proved energy, weak-existence and compact-resolvent milestones; density gives injectivity and the weak resolvent equation gives the eigenvector lift.

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.
