Hi all,
First of all, I apologize for not making an update sooner. My trusted, old laptop gave up on me, and since a lot of my previous work was only in local commits, a lot of code was missing when I finally got a new machine.
This PR is a draft: it contains a working proof of
komlos_ennreal, but the current state is not up to standard. The file is too long, and the structure deviates quite a bit from the blueprint proof.Here is a broad overview of the proof strategy implemented:
ENNRealvalues to[0, 1]usingexpInv(essentiallydefectfunction that quantifies how much the midpoint inequality is strict. The lemma,quantitative_convexity, relates the distance between points to this defect.komlos_convexlemma to the functionalprob_large_diff_le_defect), we show that the transformed sequence $ ext{expInv}(g_n)$ is Cauchy inENNReal: FromlogNeg(inverse ofexpInv) to transfer this convergence back to the originalENNRealrandom variables.I would appreciate any feedback on how to better structure this. Is the proof salvageable? If not, I am readily willing to pass the torch to someone more suitable. I have already spent way more time on the proof than I care to think about.
Closes #249
