Certified inequality checks and adaptive subdivision #
Rational input boxes denote sets of arbitrary real assignments. Endpoint enclosure preserves these sets, and backend soundness carries their values through expression evaluation. A successful upper-bound test therefore proves the requested inequality throughout a box.
Every midpoint split covers its parent. Induction on the subdivision depth combines successful checks of both children without assuming that any sampled point represents the entire box.
Real meaning of the two relations accepted by the executable checker.
Instances For
An empty box places no restrictions on the real environment.
Enclosing rational endpoints contains every real between them.
Successful box enclosure supplies sound values for every coordinate in the interval list.
A successful leaf check establishes the inequality for every real assignment in its box.
Replacing a coordinate preserves membership when the new interval contains its value.
A successful adaptive check proves the real inequality throughout the original rational box.
The computation depends only on the backend, expression, rational box, relation, and depth. The real environment and its membership proof enter only this theorem.
