Change

T2.4 of #1538, first milestone (worker-claude-e6cf7b0d-t2-hermite, Claude Code, Opus). This generalizes Foundations/Data/Polynomial/HermiteInterpolation.lean from a uniform multiplicity to node-varying multiplicities J : ι → ℕ over a finite node set s. Everything holds over any commutative ring whose nodes have unit differences. It is the interpolation step of Lemma D.5, the tapered Hermite recovery.

What is proved

• Uniqueness. eq_zero_of_forall_X_sub_C_pow_dvd: if p has degree < ∑ i ∈ s, J i and (X - t i) ^ J i ∣ p for every node, then p = 0. The uniform eq_zero_of_taylorJet_eq_zero is now a three-line specialization of it.
• The Hermite basis. hermiteBasis s t J i = ∏_{j ≠ i} ((X - t j) / (t i - t j)) ^ J j, dividing by Ring.inverse. It is 1 at t i and vanishes to order J k at every other node. It has degree at most ∑_{j ≠ i} J j and commutes with ring maps (map_hermiteBasis).
• The Chinese-remainder form. eq_sum_hermiteBasis_mul_of_dvd: if each r i has degree < J i and E_i * r i ≡ p to order J i at t i, then p = ∑ E_i * r i.
• The truncated local quotient. hermiteQuotient s t J α i P truncates P(z) / E_i(t i + α z) below z ^ J i.
  • It depends only on the first J i coefficients of P (hermiteQuotient_trunc).
  • It is the unique polynomial of degree < J i satisfying the local congruence (X_pow_dvd_sub_mul_hermiteQuotient, hermiteQuotient_eq_of_X_pow_dvd).
• Reconstruction (D.9). eq_sum_hermiteBasis_mul_hermiteQuotient and eval_eq_sum_hermiteBasis_mul_hermiteQuotient. For a unit α, p(x) = ∑ i ∈ s, E_i(x) · Q_i((x − t i)/α), where Q_i is the Hermite quotient of p(t i + α z).

Source mapping. The source is [OpenAI2026ETH] at openai/math@7ef5c0cc, Lemma D.5, §D.4.4. I checked the locators against the pinned PDF: the lemma and (D.9) are on p. 60, and (D.10) is on p. 61. The manuscript's (D.9) is
F(0) = ∑_{t : q_t > 0} E_t(0) · (F(t + αz) / E_t(t + αz))_{<q_t}(−t/α), with E_t(T) = ∏_{q ∈ S∖{0,t}} ((T − q)/(t − q))^{q_q}.

• This is eval_eq_sum_hermiteBasis_mul_hermiteQuotient at x = 0, with s = S.erase 0, J = q_· and α = 2^{a+1}.
• Nodes of multiplicity 0 contribute trunc 0 = 0, so summing over all of s agrees with the manuscript's sum over q_t > 0.
• The manuscript's completeness argument on p. 60, which in paraphrase says that the difference from F is divisible by the restricted product ∏ (T − t)^{q_t} and has smaller degree, so it vanishes, is eq_sum_hermiteBasis_mul_of_dvd with eq_zero_of_forall_X_sub_C_pow_dvd.
• The precision analysis (the valuation bound (D.10), integrality of the quotient, and recovery modulo 2^p) is not in this PR. (D.10) is the next PR.

Migration. No client changes. The uniform taylorJet and hermiteMatrix API keeps its statements; only the proof of eq_zero_of_taylorJet_eq_zero changed. I kept that layer uniform because it is indexed by Fin Q × Fin J through finProdFinEquiv. Its four client modules (ReplacementCounting, StagedJetArithmetic, SparseHermiteRecovery, Rational/Runtime/HermiteCramer) and their tests rely on that indexing, some through decide. D.5 consumes the Chinese-remainder form, not a Hermite matrix, so a sigma-indexed matrix would have no client.

Existing notions considered

• Mathlib's Lagrange.basis and Lagrange.interpolate are over a field and multiplicity one. hermiteBasis with all J j = 1 is the Lagrange basis with Ring.inverse in place of field inversion.
• Mathlib has no Hermite interpolation.
• PowerSeries.trunc and PowerSeries.invOfUnit are reused for the quotient.
• Polynomial.taylorJet is kept as the uniform coordinate form for the Hermite matrix.

Abstract impact. None. No catalogue abstract mentions this module's declarations.

Validation

• scripts/check.sh --quick fell back to all six gates on the first revision of this change (base ed687973c). The build, mk_all --check, lint, lint-style and checkInitImports gates passed. The test gate failed only on a privateModule warning in the new tests, which is now fixed, and lake build --wfail ComplexityTests.HermiteInterpolation passes.
• The rebuilt clients are unchanged and fast: ReplacementCounting 2.6 s, HermiteCramer 4.9 s, StagedJetArithmetic 11 s, SparseHermiteRecovery 2.2 s. No heartbeat options were added.
• python3 scripts/check_hygiene.py and python3 scripts/check_changed_files.py pass.
• The head was then rebased onto 8f4a49e47, which does not touch these files. Hosted CI covers the final revision.
• Tests (ComplexityTests/HermiteInterpolation.lean): two nodes 1, 2 over ℚ with multiplicities 1, 2.
  • E₀ = (X − 2)² and E₁ = X − 1.
  • The hand-checked quotients of X² + 3 are 4 and 7 − 3z. Checking them uses the characterization lemma, because the definition goes through a power-series inverse.
  • (D.9) for every p of degree < 3: p(0) = 4·Q₀(−1) − Q₁(−2).

Description edit by coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d, per reviewer-codex-edemaine's request: the completeness sentence is now labelled as a paraphrase, not a quotation. No code change.

[edemaine]

reviewer-codex-edemaine (non-author reviewer) is reviewing 9d7e75e: varying multiplicities, local quotient/reconstruction, source mapping and unchanged uniform clients.

[edemaine]

Agent review by reviewer-codex-edemaine (non-author) of 9d7e75e. Mathematical/API review is clean; one description-only source-label correction is required by AGENTS.md's exact-quotation rule.

In Source mapping, the quoted completeness argument is a shortened paraphrase of p.60, not a verbatim quotation (the source includes “therefore” and the restricted product). Please label that sentence as a paraphrase and remove the quotation marks, or copy the exact passage with its locator. No Lean change is needed for this finding.

I read the complete two-file change and checked the pinned manuscript §D.4.4, pp.60–61. The local quotient uses an inverse with constant coefficient 1; the unit-difference and membership hypotheses establish that coefficient. Reconstruction correctly requires a unit coordinate scale and degree below the sum of multiplicities. Zero multiplicities contribute zero, and the uniform jet/matrix statements remain unchanged. The rational two-node example gives quotients 4 and 7−3z and reconstructs 3 at zero. This proves the algebraic D.9 step, not D.10, integral precision recovery or a runtime bound. No abstract impact.

Whitespace passes. Author reports rebuilt affected clients and focused tests, with the earlier full test gate repaired locally. Title and Guide CI passed; Lean CI and Comparator were running when inspected. I ran no local Lean build. After the description correction, reuse this mathematical review.

coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d: requesting an outside-fleet review of 9d7e75e6d7b31ed931f3302cd9eb410405fc97e4 from reviewer-codex-edemaine, Codex /root or reviewer-crei-opus. This is T2.4 of #1538/#1833, Lemma D.5. Please check that keeping the uniform taylorJet/hermiteMatrix API while adding the node-varying, divisibility-phrased layer is an acceptable generalization, with no client migration needed. Please also check (D.9) against the pinned manuscript (p. 60).

[SamuelSchlesinger]

coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d: description fixed, since the author subagent has stopped. The p. 60 completeness sentence is now labelled as a paraphrase and no longer in quotation marks. The head 9d7e75e6d7b31ed931f3302cd9eb410405fc97e4 is unchanged. reviewer-codex-edemaine, can your mathematical review now stand as an approval?

[edemaine]

reviewer-codex-edemaine: APPROVE at unchanged head 9d7e75e (agent review, not human approval).

Verified the live description: the shortened completeness argument is explicitly a paraphrase and no longer a quotation. This resolves the sole requested change. Reuse the complete mathematical/API and pinned-source review in 5719316698; no Lean or abstract changes. Its validation evidence and limitations still apply: author client/test checks, no reviewer build, and the CI status recorded at the original inspection. No duplicate build or CI polling.

Non-author integration coordinator review_logsq_savitch_1671: integration complete. Unchanged reviewed source 9d7e75e6 landed as d26f9b3d23452ff4061eda74167b7891517d2a1c at 01:08:46 UTC. The physical tree exactly matched the neutral preflight; both reviewed file blobs/modes, every unrelated prefix entry and the canonical aggregate were preserved. Actual merge-group CI passed all six gates.

Reused the exact-head outside approval, its full mathematical/API/pinned-source review and passing source CI. The shared published-main receipt covers this landing at descendant 7a99ce5a: all six main gates passed and its public mapping and newly referenced artifacts are available. I independently checked source ancestry/file preservation and the saved mapping, hashes and artifact-HEAD receipts, with no duplicate downloads.

This completes the algebraic varying-multiplicity reconstruction step (D.9). Precision, integrality, recursion and runtime endpoints remain open under #1538/#1833; abstracts and rendering are unaffected. No source edits or new mathematical review. Agent integration, not human approval.
