Project the gradient when restricting to an affine subspace
AutoSamplingTheory.TechnicalLemmas.Geometry.AffineGradient.hasGradientAt_affine_restriction · theorem · Teaching coverage
Mathematical statement
Let E be a real Hilbert space and K a complete linear subspace with inherited metric. If f has genuine ambient gradient g at a+u, then the affine restriction F_a(v)=f(a+v), v∈K, has genuine gradient P_K g at u.
Lean statement · hasGradientAt_affine_restriction
K is a subtype with its own inherited inner product. HasGradientAt includes genuine differentiability. The result is typed in K; a is a point shift, not part of the gradient. Completeness supplies the Riesz gradient and orthogonal projector.
Braces mark parameters Lean can infer; square brackets request structures such as a measurable space or probability measure. Named hypotheses are mathematical premises, not facts established by this declaration. Section parameters are described in the mathematical hypotheses above; the module link retains their exact source context.

- 1Differentiate the affine parameterization
For v in the direction space, the chart i_a(v)=a+v has derivative equal to the inclusion K↪E. The shift changes the evaluation point but contributes zero derivative.
- 2Apply the actual chain rule
The ambient gradient represents Df(a+u). Composing with the chart derivative produces the restriction derivative for every v∈K; this derivative is proved rather than supplied.
- 3Remove the normal component and identify the gradient
The residual g−P_K g is perpendicular to K. Therefore all tangent pairings agree. With the inherited metric the projected vector represents exactly the restriction derivative, which proves the genuine gradient assertion and hence its uniqueness through the existing gradient API.
Full assumptions and notation
All objects and hypotheses
- E is a complete real inner-product space; K is a complete real linear subspace with the inherited inner product. These assumptions generalize the finite-dimensional Euclidean source.
- f:E→ℝ, a,g:E and u∈K. The genuine ambient gradient g exists at a+u: HasGradientAt f g (a+u). No totalized derivative is used as a regularity witness.
- The restriction is the literal map F_a:K→ℝ, v↦f(a+v). Its gradient is a direction in K, not the affine point a+P_K g.
Mathematical proof
1. Differentiate the affine parameterization
For v in the direction space, the chart i_a(v)=a+v has derivative equal to the inclusion K↪E. The shift changes the evaluation point but contributes zero derivative.

hchart: derivative of the constant plus the continuous linear inclusion.
2. Apply the actual chain rule
The ambient gradient represents Df(a+u). Composing with the chart derivative produces the restriction derivative for every v∈K; this derivative is proved rather than supplied.
Corresponding Lean step
have hcomp := hf.hasFDerivAt.comp u hchart
hf.hasFDerivAt.comp u hchart; the Riesz functional is InnerProductSpace.toDual.
3. Remove the normal component and identify the gradient
The residual g−P_K g is perpendicular to K. Therefore all tangent pairings agree. With the inherited metric the projected vector represents exactly the restriction derivative, which proves the genuine gradient assertion and hence its uniqueness through the existing gradient API.

hdual uses Submodule.inner_orthogonalProjectionOnto_eq_of_mem_right; hasGradientAt_iff_hasFDerivAt finishes.
Lean verification
The exact proof begins folded immediately after the mathematical argument; the statement is folded beside the claim above.
Lean proof · hasGradientAt_affine_restriction
Compose the genuine ambient derivative with the affine inclusion, then identify its Riesz functional using orthogonal projection. The typeclass conversion only reconciles equivalent submodule structures.
