Coefficient bounds for Coleman's transform #
Let R be an ultrametric seminormed commutative ring with ‖1‖ = 1. Let P = ∑ aⱼ Tʲ and
B = ∑ bₗ Tˡ be polynomials over R with B(0) = 0, let ρ be a nonnegative antitone sequence
with ‖aⱼ‖ ≤ ∏ i < j, ρᵢ, and let β satisfy ‖bₗ‖ ρₜˡ ≤ βₜ for all t and all l ≥ 1. Then
every bounded Coleman transform D_(n,m)(B, P) satisfies
‖coeff k D_(n,m)(B, P)‖ ≤ ∏ t < k, βₜ (Polynomial.norm_coeff_colemanDBounded_le).
If P = ∏ (1 - αᵢ T) with ‖αᵢ‖ ≤ ρᵢ, then D(B, P) = ∏ (1 - B(αᵢ) T) and the bound is the
ultrametric estimate for the elementary symmetric functions of the B(αᵢ). The theorem asserts
the same bound for every P obeying the coefficient bounds, over any coefficient ring, with no
access to roots. It is uniform in the ranks n and m, so it applies to all truncations of an
entire series F with Newton majorant ρ along an entire series B with B(0) = 0, with
βₜ = β_B(ρₜ) the Coleman majorant (PowerSeries.norm_coeff_colemanDBounded_trunc_le). These
products are the coefficient bounds of an entire series, so they control the limit of the finite
transforms that defines Coleman's transform with entire functional input.
The common majorant alone does not show that the finite transforms converge. For that we compare
two pairs (B, P) and (B', P') obeying the same bounds, with bₗ = b'ₗ for l ≤ L and
aⱼ = a'ⱼ for j ≤ k L. If γ bounds the tails, ‖bₗ‖ ρₜˡ ≤ γₜ and ‖b'ₗ‖ ρₜˡ ≤ γₜ for l > L,
then
‖coeff k D_(n,m)(B, P) - coeff k D_(n,m)(B', P')‖ ≤ ∑ r < k, γᵣ ∏ t < k, t ≠ r, βₜ
(Polynomial.norm_coeff_colemanDBounded_sub_le). For truncations of power series, γₜ is the
Coleman majorant of the tail B - trunc (L + 1) B at ρₜ
(PowerSeries.norm_coeff_colemanDBounded_trunc_sub_le), which tends to zero as L → ∞. Hence,
for F(0) = 1, the k-th coefficients of the transforms
D_(N,M)(trunc (M + 1) B, trunc (N + 1) F) form a Cauchy family as N and M tend to infinity
independently (PowerSeries.cauchySeq_coeff_colemanDBounded_trunc).
The estimates are read off the Leibniz expansion of the Sylvester matrix defining the resultant,
term by term. In a nonzero term, the permutation σ of the n + m columns moves each of the
first n columns x (carrying coefficients of 1 - T B(X)) down to a row σ x ≥ x, picking
b_(σ x - x) T when σ x > x, and moves each of the last m columns up, picking
a_(x - σ x). Count both kinds of moves across each gap between consecutive rows: a column moved
across j gaps is charged ρ₀, …, ρⱼ₋₁ in order on the a side, while on the b side every gap
it crosses is charged ρ_r, where r is its rank by decreasing target row. At each gap the two
counts agree, and the a charges are never larger than the b charges after sorting, so
∏ ‖a‖ ≤ ∏ ρ_r ^ (σ x - x) (Equiv.Perm.prod_prod_range_le_prod_pow_upRank). The ranks
enumerate the moved columns, so each term is bounded by ∏ t < k, βₜ. A term contributing to the
k-th coefficient has exactly k forward moves, and their total length is the total length of the
backward moves. So if all forward moves have length at most L, the term only involves bₗ with
l ≤ L and aⱼ with j ≤ k L, and it is the same for both pairs; otherwise one of its factors
is bounded by a tail bound γᵣ instead of βᵣ.
Over a normed ring the same bound controls differences. If P₂ - P₁ and B₂ - B₁ satisfy the
hypotheses after multiplication by r ≥ 1, then the k-th coefficients of D_(n,m)(B₂, P₂) and
D_(n,m)(B₁, P₁) differ by at most r⁻¹ ∏ t < k, βₜ
(Polynomial.dist_coeff_colemanDBounded_mul_le). To see this, join the inputs by the segments
Bₛ = B₁ + s (B₂ - B₁) and Pₛ = P₁ + s (P₂ - P₁) over the polynomial ring R[s], and give
R[s] the Gauss norm at radius r, in which ‖s‖ = r. The coefficient bound over this ring says
that the i-th coefficient in s of the k-th coefficient of D_(n,m)(Bₛ, Pₛ) has norm at most
r⁻ⁱ ∏ t < k, βₜ, and the difference of the two transforms is the sum of these coefficients for
i ≥ 1. No polynomial identity for the transform is needed beyond its compatibility with ring
homomorphisms.
For a power series F with Newton majorant ρ and B restricted at the radii c² ρᵢ for some
c ≥ 1, the tails of the truncations from order a of B and b of F are small against the
majorants at the radii c ρᵢ. So lengthening the truncations moves the k-th coefficients by at
most c ^ (-min a b) ∏ i < k, β_B(c² ρᵢ) (PowerSeries.dist_coeff_colemanDBounded_trunc_mul_le).
Unlike PowerSeries.norm_coeff_colemanDBounded_trunc_sub_le, whose truncation orders must grow
with k, this rate is the same for every coefficient relative to its majorant.

Coleman's coefficient bound. Let P and B be polynomials over an ultrametric seminormed
ring with ‖1‖ = 1 and B(0) = 0. If ρ is a nonnegative antitone sequence with
‖coeff j P‖ ≤ ∏ i < j, ρ i for j ≤ n, and ‖coeff l B‖ * ρ t ^ l ≤ β t for every t and every
l ≥ 1, then the k-th coefficient of Coleman's transform D_(n,m)(B, P) has norm at most
∏ t < k, β t, for all ranks n and degree bounds m.
Continuity of Coleman's transform. Let (B, P) and (B', P') be two pairs of polynomials
over an ultrametric seminormed ring with ‖1‖ = 1, both obeying the hypotheses of
Polynomial.norm_coeff_colemanDBounded_le for the same ρ and β, with B(0) = 0. Suppose that
coeff l B = coeff l B' for l ≤ L and coeff j P = coeff j P' for j ≤ k L, and that γ bounds
the tails: ‖coeff l B‖ * ρ t ^ l ≤ γ t and ‖coeff l B'‖ * ρ t ^ l ≤ γ t for l > L. Then the
k-th coefficients of the two Coleman transforms of rank n and degree bound m differ by at
most ∑ r < k, γ r * ∏ t < k, t ≠ r, β t.
Coleman's perturbation bound. Let ρ be a nonnegative antitone sequence and r ≥ 1. If
P₁ has Newton majorant ρ up to degree n, the perturbation P₂ - P₁ satisfies the same
bound after multiplication by r, and the coefficients of positive degree of B₁ and of
r (B₂ - B₁) are bounded by β at every radius ρ t, where B₁(0) = B₂(0) = 0, then the
coefficients of the bounded Coleman transforms satisfy
dist (coeff k D_(n,m)(B₂, P₂)) (coeff k D_(n,m)(B₁, P₁)) * r ≤ ∏ t < k, β t.
Thus perturbing the inputs by a factor r⁻¹ relative to their majorants moves every coefficient
of the transform by at most r⁻¹ times its coefficient bound
Polynomial.norm_coeff_colemanDBounded_le, uniformly in the ranks n and degree bounds m.
Coleman's bound for truncations. Let ρ be a nonnegative antitone Newton majorant of a
power series F, ‖coeff j F‖ ≤ ∏ i < j, ρ i, and let B be restricted at every radius ρ i
with B(0) = 0. Then the Coleman transforms of the truncations of F along the truncations of
B satisfy ‖coeff k D_(n,m)(trunc a B, trunc b F)‖ ≤ ∏ i < k, β_B(ρ i), uniformly in the ranks,
degree bounds and truncation orders. In particular this bounds
D_(N,M)(trunc (M + 1) B, trunc (N + 1) F).
Continuity of Coleman's transform in the truncations. Let ρ be a nonnegative antitone
Newton majorant of a power series F, and let B be restricted at every radius ρ i with
B(0) = 0. If the truncation orders satisfy L < a, a' and k L < b, b', then the k-th
coefficients of the Coleman transforms D_(n,m)(trunc a B, trunc b F) and
D_(n,m)(trunc a' B, trunc b' F) differ by at most
∑ r < k, β_(B - trunc (L + 1) B)(ρ r) * ∏ t < k, t ≠ r, β_B(ρ t), a bound involving the
Coleman majorants of the tail of B beyond degree L.
The finite Coleman transforms are Cauchy. Let F be a power series with F(0) = 1 and a
nonnegative antitone Newton majorant ρ, and let B be restricted at every radius ρ i with
B(0) = 0. Then, for each k, the k-th coefficients of the Coleman transforms
D_(N,M)(trunc (M + 1) B, trunc (N + 1) F) form a Cauchy family as the rank N and the degree
bound M tend to infinity independently.
Continuity of Coleman's transform in the truncation orders. Let ρ be a nonnegative
antitone Newton majorant of F, let c ≥ 1, and let B be restricted at every radius
c² ρ i with B(0) = 0. Lengthening the truncations of F and B from orders b and a to
b' ≥ b and a' ≥ a moves the k-th coefficient of every bounded Coleman transform by at most
c ^ (-min a b) ∏ i < k, β_B(c² ρ i): the tails of F and B from these orders on are smaller
than their majorants at the radii scaled by c.
Let ρ be a nonnegative antitone sequence dominating the convolution of the coefficient norms
of F and G, let c ≥ 1, and let B be restricted at every radius c ρ i with B(0) = 0.
Replacing the product of the truncations of F and G at order b by the truncation of F * G
moves the k-th coefficient of every bounded Coleman transform by at most
c ^ (-b) ∏ i < k, β_B(c ρ i): the two polynomials agree below degree b.
