Averaged LMC
A paper-first mathematical case study: read the theorem, the derivation route, and the hidden prerequisites before opening formal infrastructure.
Exact source theorem
Theorem 11.2.1
Reading. Read the accuracy guarantee together with the complexity/rate: the source assumptions and its notion of oracle cost are part of the result.
Primary-source audit complete. The displayed theorem statement is the controlling mathematical contract for this case.
proof given in Chewi
Reuse the LMC interpolation estimate from the proof of Theorem 4.2.7.
Integrate over one LMC step.
Telescope over n=0,...,N-1.
What must be true before the rate can be read
Model and geometry
- No global log-concavity is assumed merely because Fisher information is the output criterion.
- The potential/score smoothness and finite initial-information quantity are inherited from the cited theorem.
- Relative Fisher information requires a legitimate density/score representative; ASTIS keeps this regularity obligation visible.
Case-specific qualifiers
- Comparison-row qualifier: on average.
Analytic / proof prerequisites
- relative Fisher information
- Chewi Theorem 4.2.7 interpolation/dissipation estimate
- finite telescoping and integration
ASTIS rigorous LaTeX
Lean formalization
This fold is intentionally quiet while the source statement, proof route, and assumptions are being completed case by case. A source-facing Lean theorem will appear here only after it compiles and its statement has been matched to the audited source.
