Plain-English statement
Exponential decay after every starting time forces the instantaneous coercivity inequality at each starting point.
Mathematical statement
If E(s+t)≤E(s)exp(-rt) for every s and t≥0, and E'(s)=-aD(s), then rE(s)≤aD(s).
Intuition
At time s, the true energy curve lies below its tangent exponential envelope and touches it. Their difference has a one-sided local maximum, so its right derivative cannot be positive.
Conditions
- the exact right derivative E'(s)=-aD(s) exists
- the decay estimate is valid after every starting time, not only from time zero
- the comparison exponential uses the same rate r
Why these conditions cannot be dropped
- decay only from time zero does not determine the derivative at a later arbitrary time
- the one-sided derivative and positive tangent direction match nonnegative semigroup time
Proof route
- subtract the shifted exponential envelope from the energy
- show the difference has a local maximum at the starting time on [s,∞)
- apply one-sided Fermat in the positive tangent direction
- rewrite the derivative inequality as coercivity
Lean interface notes
- the positive direction 1 is proved to lie in the tangent cone using the nhdsGT filter
- the theorem is scalar and does not infer a density or generator domain
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.

- ParametersWhich symbols are arbitrary, and which structures are inferred by typeclass search?
- PropositionAfter the colon, translate the Lean expression back into a paper statement.

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.
