theorem

Varying one functional at an absolute maximizer forces endpoint attainment.

Statement

Let and use reference coordinates with the sup norm. Let be a continuous seminorm with specified constants such that Thus is a norm. We use for the model distance and for reference-coordinate estimates; the two norms are allowed to coincide. A -dual contraction is a continuous real linear functional satisfying for every . Let be the standard coordinate vectors. For an ordered family of continuous real linear functionals on , put For a real number , define the attained maximum and near-maximal set by Admissibility is measured with ; the matrices are written in the fixed reference coordinates.

Let be a finite index set, possibly empty; choose coefficients for . A configuration is a pair , where is a frame and is a family of additional continuous real linear functionals, called satellites. Write For any real weight , let replace row by and set An absolute maximizer means a single with for every . It need not maximize the signed polynomial. Suppose and the admissible absolute maximizer also has . For every fixed , put . Then

Assumptions

Finiteness of , the positive comparison constants for , the positive determinant gap, admissibility, near-maximality of the base, and absolute maximality are required. The weight is any real number. No positive-weight or budget assumption is added.

Conclusion

Every satellite attains the norm in absolute value at its own coefficient preimage. This gives neither nor a common positive sign for all satellites.

Notes

The configuration polynomial evaluates on a pair. the product configuration type, satellite families, their contraction subset and the admissible product set retain both components of . The selected absolute maximizer is a choice from the compact product, not a uniqueness assertion. The proof-local scalar called p in the source is the number here; it is not a second norm.

Proof route

Separate one satellite contribution, use dominated Hahn–Banach endpoints, and apply rigidity of an affine absolute maximum.

Proof steps
  1. Keep the coefficient preimage visible. Fix and keep as in the statement. The gap gives . Collect the terms that do not involve the th satellite in

    For every replacement functional , row Cramer for this same matrix and coefficient column gives

    Substituting just this row contribution into the polynomial gives

    This is the one-satellite update formula, with the same and nonzero determinant. Only the functional in position changes; and stay fixed. Admissibility gives .

  2. Supply the two norming endpoints at that same point. The required functionals satisfy

    If , take both functionals to be zero. Otherwise define on the line by . Its domination is

    Apply continuous seminorm-dominated Hahn–Banach extension with subspace , this , and continuous seminorm . It gives a continuous linear extension with for all . Applying this inequality to also gives . Moreover . Set . These are the functionals in the norming endpoint lemma. Replacing only with either of them preserves every contraction condition, so both new configurations belong to .

  3. Compare the actual value with both endpoints. Absolute maximality, applied to the two configurations from Step 2 and then to the formula in Step 1, gives

    Since , the endpoint identity is

    Combining it with the two comparisons and the triangle inequality yields

    All inequalities are equalities. Cancel and divide by to obtain . This is absolute affine endpoint rigidity applied directly to the nonnegative number , the value , and these two endpoint comparisons. The case is included.
