ELYAER studies how much a positive-definite change of metric can shrink the joint real quadratic numerical image of a jointly nilpotent matrix family when metric conditioning is limited. The manuscript identifies the exact leading coefficient of this resource law for arbitrary finite real jointly nilpotent tuples, including coherent and noncommuting channels.

The coefficient is determined by the complete tensor of longest ordered products, together with its Euclidean endpoint and channel norms. An attained convex optimization problem on a minimal homogeneous realization computes the invariant. A matching construction lifts a core optimizer to asymptotically optimal metrics for the original tuple.

Abstract

Let $N=(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$ be a nonzero real jointly nilpotent tuple of word depth $h$. The manuscript determines the leading constant in the condition-constrained minimum enclosing radius of its joint real quadratic numerical image. It identifies this constant with an attained convex invariant of a minimal homogeneous realization of the length-$h$ operator-valued word tensor, using at most the original number of states.

The argument permits arbitrary positive-definite metrics, moving enclosing centers, coherent channels, noncommuting products, and lower-order shortcuts. An arbitrary-metric compactness argument gives the lower bound; a fractional scaling of noncritical directions supplies a matching constructive upper bound. Further results give finite dual witnesses, controlled sphere-net approximations, a sharp common-quadratic-Lyapunov conditioning law, and an unbounded separation between families having identical Gram matrices for every individual longest word.

The new assertion is the equality between this highest-word invariant and the original condition-budget asymptotic problem, together with the constructive converse. Minimal realization theory, Lyapunov inequalities, operator means, and convex duality are established tools credited in the manuscript.

1. The problem and its normalization

For a positive-definite real matrix $G$, define

$$T_i(G)=G^{1\mathrm{/}2}{N}_i{G}^{-1\mathrm{/}2},q_G(u{)}_i=u^{\mathrm{\top }}\text{\hspace{0.17em}⁣}(T_i(G)+T_i(G{)}^{\mathrm{\top }})u,\mathrm{\parallel }u{\mathrm{\parallel }}_2=1.T\_i(G)=G^\{1/2\}N\_iG^\{-1/2\},\backslash qquad\; q\_G(u)\_i=u^\backslash top\backslash !\backslash left(T\_i(G)+T\_i(G)^\backslash top\backslash right)u,\backslash quad\; \backslash |u\backslash |\_2=1.$$

The metric-conditioned enclosing radius is

$$R_K(N)=\underset{{\kappa }_2(G)\le K}{\min }\underset{c\in {\mathbb{R}}^m}{\min }\underset{\mathrm{\parallel }u{\mathrm{\parallel }}_2=1}{\max }\mathrm{\parallel }{q}_G(u)-c{\mathrm{\parallel }}_2\mathrm{.}R\_K(N)=\; \backslash min\_\{\backslash kappa\_2(G)\backslash le\; K\}\backslash ;\; \backslash min\_\{c\backslash in\backslash mathbb\; R^m\}\backslash ;\; \backslash max\_\{\backslash |u\backslash |\_2=1\}\backslash |q\_G(u)-c\backslash |\_2\; .$$

Here $\kappa_2(G)$ is the spectral condition number of the metric itself. All state and channel norms are Euclidean, and the original background Euclidean structure remains part of the data.

Normalization matters: the symmetric part is written without a factor of $1/2$. Thus $q_G(u)_i=2u^\top T_i(G)u$. Constants in a convention using $u^\top T_i(G)u$ must be divided by two.

Joint nilpotence of depth $h$ means that every ordered product of length $h+1$ vanishes and at least one product of length $h$ is nonzero. Individual nilpotence of each $N_i$ is insufficient.

2. Principal result: the highest-word principle

Write $N_w=N_{i_1}\cdots N_{i_h}$ for an ordered word of length $h$. The manuscript's principal theorem gives

$$\boxed{{\displaystyle \underset{K\to \mathrm{\infty }}{\lim }{K}^{1\mathrm{/}(2h)}{R}_K(N)=\mathfrak{q}(N{)}^{1\mathrm{/}(2h)}\mathrm{.}}}\backslash boxed\{\; \backslash lim\_\{K\backslash to\backslash infty\}K^\{1/(2h)\}R\_K(N)\; =\backslash mathfrak\; q(N)^\{1/(2h)\}\; .\; \}$$

The same limit holds when the enclosing center is fixed at zero.

The value $\mathfrak q(N)$ is finite, strictly positive, and attained. It depends on the full operator-valued tensor $(N_w)_{|w|=h}$, with its endpoint norms. It does not require separate shorter-word data at leading order.

The statement includes:

• Every finite real jointly nilpotent tuple, with arbitrary matrix and channel dimensions.
• Coherent matrices containing multiple routes, including reinforcement and cancellation.
• Optimization over all positive-definite metrics, including nondiagonal designs.
• Arbitrarily degenerating sequences of metrics and optimized enclosing centers.
• A constructive asymptotically optimal metric family.

Shorter words can still change the finite-$K$ frontier and subleading terms. The result identifies the leading asymptotic resource, rather than the entire finite-budget curve.

3. The attained convex invariant

The highest-word tensor has a minimal homogeneous realization

$$V=V_0\oplus \cdots \oplus V_h,\dim V\le d,V=V\_0\backslash oplus\backslash cdots\backslash oplus\; V\_h,\backslash qquad\; \backslash dim\; V\backslash le\; d,$$

with degree-lowering operators $A_i$, an input map $B:V_h\to V$, and an output map $C:V\to V_0$. Its only nonzero input-output word maps occur at length $h$, where they reproduce the prescribed highest-word tensor. It is reachable and observable.

Put $A(z)=\sum_i z_iA_i$. In orthonormal endpoint coordinates,

Every feasible $H$ is automatically positive definite. The program has finitely many matrix variables but generally a continuum of directional constraints.

For one channel, the two directions $z=\pm1$ give an exact finite SDP. The supplied two-channel wrapper uses an angular net. It is an approximation to the robust problem, with an analytical error guarantee for validated optimization bounds.

Rational export convention: the exact core builder uses rational bases that need not be orthonormal. Its JSON exports include input_gram and output_gram; these must be retained:

$$H⪰C^{\mathrm{\top }}{G}_{\mathrm{o}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{t}}C,B^{\mathrm{\top }}HB⪯t{G}_{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}}\mathrm{.}H\backslash succeq\; C^\backslash top\; G\_\{\backslash mathrm\{out\}\}C,\backslash qquad\; B^\backslash top\; HB\backslash preceq\; tG\_\{\backslash mathrm\{in\}\}.$$

4. What individual word statistics fail to see

Two explicit families on a $2^h$-dimensional space remove occupied indices from subset states. One uses positive coefficients; the other uses alternating exterior-algebra signs. Call them $U$ and $F$.

For every longest ordered word,

$$U_w^{\mathrm{\top }}{U}_w=F_w^{\mathrm{\top }}{F}_w\mathrm{.}U\_w^\backslash top\; U\_w=F\_w^\backslash top\; F\_w.$$

Thus the corresponding individual words have the same Gram matrices, ranks, singular values, and operator norms. Nevertheless, writing $\mathcal C(N)=\lim_{K\to\infty}K^{1/(2h)}R_K(N)$,

$$R_K(F)=K^{-1\mathrm{/}(2h)},\frac{2}{e}\sqrt{h}\le \mathcal{C}(U)\le \sqrt{h}\mathrm{.}R\_K(F)=K^\{-1/(2h)\},\backslash qquad\; \backslash frac\{2\}\{e\}\backslash sqrt\; h\backslash le\backslash mathcal\; C(U)\backslash le\backslash sqrt\; h.$$

The ratio of leading constants is unbounded with depth. Knowing the size of every individual longest word cannot provide a dimension-independent approximation to this metric cost. Their relative algebraic arrangement matters.

The four-state, depth-two example already gives constants $1$ and $\sqrt2$. Its matrices, exact identities, and core exports are included.

5. Nondiagonal designs can strictly outperform diagonal scaling

For the coherent shift $J_4=E_{01}+E_{12}+E_{23}$, the best diagonal asymptotic constant is $2^{2/3}$, whose sixth power is $16$.

The rational certificate

is feasible for the unrestricted core problem with objective $10$. Consequently,

This certifies at least a 7.53% reduction in the leading radius coefficient compared with the best diagonal design. The exact unrestricted optimum is not asserted to be 10.

For one nilpotent matrix of depth $h$, the matrix-dependent factor simplifies to

$$\mathcal{C}(N)=q_h^{1\mathrm{/}(2h)}\mathrm{\parallel }{N}^h{\mathrm{\parallel }}_2^{1\mathrm{/}h},\backslash mathcal\; C(N)=q\_h^\{1/(2h)\}\backslash |N^h\backslash |\_2^\{1/h\},$$

where $q_h$ depends only on depth. The manuscript proves $q_1=1$, $q_2=4$, and $q_h^{1/(2h)}\to2$.

6. A sharp common-quadratic stability consequence

Consider the family

$$M_{\epsilon }(z)=\sum _i{z}_i{N}_i-\frac{\epsilon }{2}I,\mathrm{\parallel }z{\mathrm{\parallel }}_2\le 1.M\_\backslash varepsilon(z)=\backslash sum\_i\; z\_iN\_i-\backslash frac\{\backslash varepsilon\}\{2\}I,\; \backslash qquad\; \backslash |z\backslash |\_2\backslash le1.$$

Let $\mathcal K_N(\varepsilon)$ be the least spectral condition number of a single quadratic energy $x^\top Gx$ satisfying

$$M_{\epsilon }(z{)}^{\mathrm{\top }}G+G{M}_{\epsilon }(z)⪯0\text{for every }z\mathrm{.}M\_\backslash varepsilon(z)^\backslash top\; G+GM\_\backslash varepsilon(z)\backslash preceq0\; \backslash quad\backslash text\{for\; every\; \}z.$$

Then

$$\boxed{{\displaystyle \underset{\epsilon \downarrow 0}{\lim }{\epsilon }^{2h}{\mathcal{K}}_N(\epsilon )=\mathfrak{q}(N)\mathrm{.}}}\backslash boxed\{\; \backslash lim\_\{\backslash varepsilon\backslash downarrow0\}\; \backslash varepsilon^\{2h\}\backslash mathcal\; K\_N(\backslash varepsilon)=\backslash mathfrak\; q(N).\; \}$$

The same energy is nonincreasing under arbitrary measurable switching within the Euclidean control ball. The theorem identifies the exact coefficient of conditioning blow-up as the damping margin tends to zero.

The paper also transfers the radius law to an explicitly normalized continuous, anchor-preserving graded-repair model. Its preservation requirements and residual identity are stated in the manuscript; no unrestricted completion or physical quantization claim is inferred.

7. Certificates and computation

The paper gives an attained dual supported on finitely many direction-state witnesses. A proposed witness supplies a finite matrix identity and positive-semidefiniteness tests for a lower bound.

For a symmetric Euclidean $\epsilon$-net of directions with exact sampled optimum $q_\epsilon$,

$$q_{ϵ}\le \mathfrak{q}(N)\le (1-ϵ{)}^{-2h}{q}_{ϵ},q\_\backslash epsilon\backslash le\backslash mathfrak\; q(N)\; \backslash le(1-\backslash epsilon)^\{-2h\}q\_\backslash epsilon,$$

so

$$q_{ϵ}^{1\mathrm{/}(2h)}\le \mathcal{C}(N)\le \frac{q_{ϵ}^{1\mathrm{/}(2h)}}{1-ϵ}\mathrm{.}q\_\backslash epsilon^\{1/(2h)\}\; \backslash le\backslash mathcal\; C(N)\; \backslash le\backslash frac\{q\_\backslash epsilon^\{1/(2h)\}\}\{1-\backslash epsilon\}.$$

A raw floating-point objective is not a validated bound. The optional CVXPY wrapper labels its output as a numerical diagnostic.

The robust oracle remains difficult in general: the jointly square-zero case already contains real three-tensor spectral-norm computation. The formulation provides an invariant and certificates, not an automatic polynomial-time algorithm for arbitrary channel dimension.

8. Reproduce the exact examples

Use Python 3.10 or later:

cd research
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python code/run_all.py

The original executed record reports:

Exact finite check	Recorded result
Highest-word realization / Markov identities	167
Cancellation-family longest-word Gram identities	288
Principal minors for the nondiagonal certificate	45
Fractional-scaling depths	1 through 12
JSON core-builder roundtrip	Passed
All executed checks	Passed

These checks verify finite symbolic identities and certificates. The universal results rest on the manuscript's proofs; no proof-assistant formalization is included.

Build a core from exact input:

python code/build_core.py examples/cancellation_negative.json results/my_core.json

Inputs accept integers or rational strings such as "3/7"; floating-point matrix entries are deliberately rejected. The builder distinguishes the zero tuple and rejects tuples that are not jointly nilpotent.

For optional numerical exploration:

python -m pip install -r requirements-optional.txt
python code/solve_core_cvxpy.py results/core_commuting.json --directions 128

The optional CVXPY wrapper was not executed in the original research release. See the reproducibility guide for the distinction between original records and release-packaging checks.

9. Intended uses and mathematical boundaries

The artifacts support investigation of nilpotent matrix families, asymptotic metric design, simultaneous quadratic stability certificates, coherent cancellation, and exact critical-realization construction.

The principal scope is finite-dimensional real joint nilpotence with fixed Euclidean norms and a quadratic metric resource. The release does not establish a full finite-$K$ theory, general complex analogue, tractable arbitrary-channel oracle, universal homological-completion theorem, or solution of a famous named conjecture.

The primary-source comparison credits the established ingredients and records a targeted novelty investigation. It does not prove historical priority. The source's “T7-level candidate” description is an informal scope assessment, documented in ASSESSMENT.md, rather than a standardized scientific classification.
