A Defect-Gram Proof of the Crouzeix Theorem, v1.1.0
Release notes
v1.1.0 - 2026-08-24
Scholarly-completeness release. The mathematical proof and public Lean
endpoints are unchanged in substance. This version:
- retitles the manuscript A Defect-Gram Proof of the Crouzeix Theorem;
- adds a full introduction, contribution summary, related-work discussion,
and paper organization; - adds 21 verified references to primary papers, publisher records, books,
and versioned 2026 preprints; - clarifies independence from the contemporaneous proofs and from the sign
condition discussed in Lorist--Schwenninger, Remark 2; - adds keywords, MSC classification, a sharpness section, formal-verification
scope, author and AI contribution statements, acknowledgments, data/code
availability, funding, and conflicts-of-interest declarations; - adds a preferred article citation to
CITATION.cffand clarifies the
Apache-2.0/CC BY 4.0 license split; and - refreshes the frozen source hash, PDF hash, line map, manifest, and release
metadata after clean compilation and verification.
v1.0.0 - 2026-08-24
Initial standalone release of:
- the manuscript The Numerical-Range Inequality and the Rational Spectral-Set
Formulation and its compiled PDF; - the kernel-checked endpoint for the finite-dimensional scalar
polynomial numerical-range inequality with constant2; - the corresponding reduced-rational spectral-set endpoint;
- direct Euclidean-operator-norm and attained-maximum wrappers;
- the defect-Gram recurrence, strict scaled finite-Blaschke local bound,
Schur-approximation completion, and convex outer-exhaustion assembly; - pinned Lean, Mathlib, supporting-package, and RMT4 revisions;
- a source manifest, manuscript hashes, CI verification, and public axiom
audit.
The kernel reports only propext, Classical.choice, and Quot.sound for
the public declarations. The manuscript is a non-peer-reviewed research
preprint. The completion stage in Lean is an alternative checked mechanism
with the same downstream endpoint consequence, rather than a line-by-line
transcription of the manuscript's confluent interpolation and
boundary-extension lemmas; see FORMALIZATION_MAP.md.
