This is a formal bridge for the finite Rademacher power-mean step used in the Rudelson/Lust-Picquard noncommutative-Khintchine route.

Source: Candes--Recht, Exact Matrix Completion via Convex Optimization, PDF p. 19, Section 4.2, Theorem 4.2, equation (4.9), where the tangent-sampling expectation is controlled by Rudelson's selection estimate; Rudelson, Random vectors in the isotropic position, JFA 164 (1999), Theorem 1, proof Steps 1--2; and Hardy--Littlewood--Polya, Inequalities, Section 2.10, for power means.

Mathematical statement. Let iotaiotaiota be a finite Rademacher index set and let F(eps)>=0F(eps) >= 0F(eps)>=0 be a nonnegative statistic on sign subsets eps:Finsetiotaeps : Finset iotaeps:Finsetiota. For every integer q>=1q >= 1q>=1,

sumeps2(−∣iota∣)F(eps)<=(sumeps2(−∣iota∣)F(eps)(2q))(1/(2q)).sum_eps 2^(-|iota|) F(eps) <= (sum_eps 2^(-|iota|) F(eps)^(2q))^(1/(2q)).sume​ps2(−∣iota∣)F(eps)<=(sume​ps2(−∣iota∣)F(eps)(2q))(1/(2q)).

Variables and notation. This node uses the auxiliary Rademacher probability model: each sign pattern is represented by a subset epssubsetiotaeps subset iotaepssubsetiota and has weight 2(−∣iota∣)2^(-|iota|)2(−∣iota∣). In the downstream Candes--Recht application, n=max(n1,n2)n = max(n_1,n_2)n=max(n1​,n2​), p=m/(n1n2)p = m/(n_1 n_2)p=m/(n1​n2​) is the Bernoulli sampling rate, OmegaOmegaOmega is a fixed Bernoulli sample realization, and F(eps)=∣∣sumcepscHc∣∣F(eps) = ||sum_c eps_c H_c||F(eps)=∣∣sumc​epsc​Hc​∣∣ for Hermitian matrices HcH_cHc​.

Formalization note. This is a formal bridge. It does not appear verbatim in Candes--Recht. It bridges the proved source-backed power-mean node rademacher_expectation_power_mean (9a9634f8) and the source-backed child route through rademacher_matrix_operator_norm_first_moment_log_window_from_2p (136263d8) toward inner_sign_average_khintchine_variance_proxy_bound_of_two_le_max (f4806ebd).

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions.
