Concatenating set-level Cauchy principal values #
HasCauchyPV binds its finite excision set existentially, which is the right interface for
consumers but is too weak to concatenate: two principal values along adjacent subcurves may be
witnessed by different excision sets, and passing to their union changes the excised integrand.
Recovering the union form needs extra control that HasCauchyPV does not supply — the added
points being met on a null set of parameters is one sufficient condition, though not a necessary
one, since enlargement is also harmless wherever the integrand's contribution already vanishes.
This file therefore works with the prescribed-witness form HasCauchyPVWith of
PrincipalValue/On.lean, in which the excision set is an explicit parameter, and concatenates
there. Adjacent subcurves sharing one excision set
add (HasCauchyPVWith.concat), and the complementary piece can be subtracted off
(HasCauchyPVWith.sub_right) — the direction that splits a principal value along a closed contour
into its constituent arcs. Both are the set-level analogues of HasCauchyPVAt.concat, whose single
excised point is automatically shared.
Main results #
TauCeti.Contour.HasCauchyPVWith.concat— principal values along[a, b]and[b, c]sharing an excision set add to the one along[a, c].TauCeti.Contour.HasCauchyPVWith.sub_right— the converse split: removing the[b, c]piece from the[a, c]principal value leaves the[a, b]one.
Concatenation. Principal values along the adjacent subcurves [a, b] and [b, c] that
excise the same finite set add to the principal value along [a, c]. As for
HasCauchyPVAt.concat, the integrability of the excised integrand across [a, c] and the
additivity of the integral both follow from the two given principal values, so no ordering or
separate integrability hypothesis is needed.
Splitting off the far piece. If the principal value along [a, c] and the one along
[b, c] excise the same finite set, then their difference is the principal value along [a, b].
This is the direction that decomposes a contour: knowing the whole and one arc gives the rest.
