theorem tsum_geometric_tail_le {r : } (hr0 : 0 r) (hr : r 1 / 2) :
∑' (k : ), r ^ (k + 2) 2 * r ^ 2

Tail of geometric series: ∑_{k≥2} r^k ≤ 2r² when 0 ≤ r ≤ 1/2.

Part 1: Moment bound from exponential tail decay (Bochner integral formulation) #

The proof uses the layer cake formula as a hypothesis: E[|X|^k] ≤ k · 2 · ∫₀^∞ t^{k-1} · exp(-2t/λ) dt

Then evaluates the integral using Γ function and bounds the result.

Part 3b: MGF bound (measure-theoretic statement) #

This states Part 3 as an actual integral inequality over the probability space, using the centered hypothesis E[X] = 0 (which eliminates the k=1 Taylor term). The proof connects the Taylor expansion of the MGF to the moment bounds via dominated convergence (using integral_tsum for the interchange of sum and integral).

(ω : Ω), Real.exp (s * X ω) μ 1 + ∑' (k : ), (s * lambda) ^ (k + 2)

For a centered random variable X with sub-exponential moments (from the tail bound), and for s > 0 with s ≤ 1/(2λ), the MGF integral satisfies: E[exp(sX)] ≤ 1 + Σ_{k≥2} (sλ)^k

The proof: (1) Taylor-expands exp(sX) = 1 + sX + Σ_{k≥2} (sX)^k/k!, (2) uses integral_tsum (dominated convergence) to interchange sum and integral, (3) uses the centered hypothesis E[X] = 0 to eliminate the k=1 term, and (4) bounds E[|X|^k]/k! ≤ λ^k from the moment bound E[|X|^k] ≤ λ^k k!.

Lemma 1.10 Part (iii) (measure-theoretic MGF bound). For a centered random variable X with sub-exponential tail P(|X| > t) ≤ 2exp(-2t/λ), we have E[exp(sX)] ≤ exp(2s²λ²) for all |s| ≤ 1/(2λ).

Proof outline. Taylor-expand exp(sX) = 1 + sX + Σ_{k≥2} (sX)^k/k!. By dominated convergence (proved via mgf_taylor_dct_bound), the integral commutes with the sum. The k=1 term vanishes since E[X] = 0. For k ≥ 2, bound E[|X|^k]/k! ≤ λ^k, giving E[exp(sX)] ≤ 1 + Σ_{k≥2}(sλ)^k ≤ 1 + 2(sλ)² ≤ exp(2s²λ²). The case s < 0 is handled by symmetry (replace X by -X); s = 0 is trivial.

Unified Lemma 1.10 #

Combines all three parts into a single theorem with proper probabilistic hypotheses, including the centered condition E[X] = 0.

Lemma 1.10 (unified). Let X be a centered random variable with sub-Gaussian tail P(|X| > t) ≤ 2exp(-2t/λ). Then:

  1. E[|X|^k] ≤ λ^k · k!
  2. (E[|X|^k])^{1/k} ≤ 2λk
  3. E[exp(sX)] ≤ exp(2s²λ²) for |s| ≤ 1/(2λ)
