Plain-English statement
A differentiable scalar quantity whose growth rate never exceeds c times its current value stays below the matching exponential curve.
Mathematical statement
If g'(t) <= c g(t) on [0,T], then g(t) <= g(0) exp(ct) for every t in [0,T].
Intuition
Multiplying by exp(-ct) removes the allowed exponential growth, leaving a nonincreasing comparison quantity.
Conditions
- T is positive
- g is differentiable
- the differential inequality holds at every point of the closed interval
- the evaluation time belongs to the interval
Why these conditions cannot be dropped
- differentiability supplies the one-sided slope required by the rigorous comparison theorem
- the interval hypotheses delimit exactly where the differential inequality is known
- positivity of T matches the source statement although the proof also handles degenerate intervals
Proof route
- turn ordinary differentiability into Mathlib's right-slope hypothesis
- apply the one-sided Gronwall bound with zero forcing and initial value g(0)
- simplify the closed-form Gronwall solution and the time shift from zero
Lean interface notes
- Icc 0 T represents the source interval
- the proof reuses le_gronwallBound_of_liminf_deriv_right_le rather than reproving the comparison argument
- this isolated source route is compiled even though its semigroup consumers remain partial
Read the mathematics first, then descend into Lean
You do not need to know Lean before opening this panel. The page keeps the paper-level theorem, rigorous proof obligations, exact Lean declaration, and proof dependencies as separate layers so a first-time reader can move down one layer at a time.
Proof architecture
Start with the tree when learning: prerequisites sit below the theorem and downstream results sit above it. Switch to the network when you want to understand where this declaration lives in the local formal library. Every mapped node is clickable.
Graph rule: only dependencies found by the ASTIS source scan are drawn. Missing tactic indirection is treated as an under-approximation; the site never invents an edge just to make a prettier graph.
How to read the exact Lean declaration
Read a Lean theorem left-to-right exactly as you would unpack a mathematical sentence: name → ambient types → automatically inferred structures → explicit hypotheses → conclusion → proof. Then read the proof top-to-bottom as transformations of the current goal.
- NameWhat reusable mathematical fact is being created?
- ParametersWhich symbols are arbitrary, and which structures are inferred by typeclass search?
- PropositionAfter the colon, translate the Lean expression back into a paper statement.
- Proof actionsAfter
by, ask what each tactic does to the mathematical goal—not only what syntax it uses.
Syntax used on this page
This glossary is filtered to syntax that actually occurs in the declaration above. Open a symbol only when you meet it, rather than memorizing Lean grammar in advance.
Source voice and ASTIS voice stay separate
When Samplinglib shows a short quotation from Chewi, it is labeled as a source excerpt and linked to the canonical book page. Intuition, expanded proof steps, hidden regularity assumptions, and Lean explanations are ASTIS-authored commentary. A quotation never substitutes for a formal proof, and an ASTIS explanation is never attributed to the textbook author.
