Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(J\): \(\subseteq \mathbb{N}\)
\(\mathbb{R}\): \(= \text{ the Euclidean metric space }\)
\(s\): \(: J \to \mathbb{R}\), such that \(\sum_{j \in J} \vert s (j) \vert = r' \in \mathbb{R}\)
//

Statements:
\(\exists r \in \mathbb{R} (\forall f: J \to J \in \{\text{ the bijections }\} (\sum_{j \in J} s \circ f (j) = r))\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(\sum_{j \in \{J_1, ..., J_n\}} \vert s \circ f (j) \vert \le r'\) and \(\sum_{j \in J} \vert s \circ f (j) = r''\); Step 2: see that \(\sum_{j \in \{J_1, ..., J_n\}} \vert s (j) \vert \le r''\) and \(r' \le r''\); Step 3: conclude that \(\sum_{j \in J} \vert s \circ f (j) \vert = r'\); Step 4: see that \(\sum_{j \in J} s \circ f (j) = \sum_{j \in J} 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert + s \circ f (j)) - \sum_{j \in J} 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert - s \circ f (j)) = \sum_{j \in J} 1 / 2 (\vert s (j) \vert + s (j)) - \sum_{j \in J} 1 / 2 (\vert s (j) \vert - s (j)) = \sum_{j \in J} s (j) = r\).

Step 1:

For each leading finite subset of \(J\), \(J^` = \{J_1, ..., J_n\}\), let us take \(J_{n'} := Max (\{f (J_1), ..., f (J_n)\})\), then, \(\{f (J_1), ..., f (J_n)\} \subseteq \{J_1, ..., J_{n'}\}\), so, \(\{s \circ f (J_1), ..., s \circ f (J_n)\} \subseteq \{s (J_1), ..., s (J_{n'})\}\), so, \(\sum_{j \in \{J_1, ..., J_n\}} \vert s \circ f (j) \vert \le \sum_{j \in \{J_1, ..., J_{n'}\}} \vert s (j) \vert \le r'\).

So, \(\sum_{j \in J} \vert s \circ f (j) \vert = r'' \le r'\).

Step 2:

As \(f\) is bijective, there is the inverse, \(f^{-1}: J \to J\).

For each leading finite subset of \(J\), \(J^` = \{J_1, ..., J_n\}\), let us take \(J_{n'} := Max (\{f^{-1} (J_1), ..., f^{-1} (J_n)\})\), then, \(\{J_1, ..., J_n\} \subseteq \{f (J_1), ..., f (J_{n'})\}\), because for each \(j \in \{J_1, ..., J_n\}\), \(f^{-1} (j) \le J_{n'}\), so, \(f (f^{-1} (j))\) appears in \(\{f (J_1), ..., f (J_{n'})\}\) as \(f (j')\), so, \(j = f (j') \in \{f (J_1), ..., f (J_{n'})\}\), so, \(\{s (J_1), ..., s (J_n)\} \subseteq \{s \circ f (J_1), ..., s \circ f (J_{n'})\}\), so, \(\sum_{j \in \{J_1, ..., J_n\}} \vert s (j) \vert \le \sum_{j \in \{J_1, ..., J_{n'}\}} \vert s \circ f (j) \vert \le r''\).

So, \(r' \le r''\).

Step 3:

So, \(\sum_{j \in J} \vert s \circ f (j) \vert = r'' = r'\).

Step 4:

Let us think of \(\sum_{j \in J} 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert + s \circ f (j))\).

For each \(j \in J\), \(0 \le 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert + s \circ f (j)) \le \vert s \circ f (j) \vert\).

So, \(\sum_{j \in J} 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert + s \circ f (j)) = \sum_{j \in J} (1 / 2 (\vert s \vert + s)) \circ f (j) = \sum_{j \in J} (1 / 2 (\vert s \vert + s)) (j) = r_1 \in \mathbb{R}\), independent of \(f\), by Step 3.

Let us think of \(\sum_{j \in J} 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert - s \circ f (j))\).

For each \(j \in J\), \(0 \le 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert - s \circ f (j)) \le \vert s \circ f (j) \vert\).

So, \(\sum_{j \in J} 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert - s \circ f (j)) = \sum_{j \in J} (1 / 2 (\vert s \vert - s)) \circ f (j) = \sum_{j \in J} (1 / 2 (\vert s \vert - s)) (j) = r_2 \in \mathbb{R}\), independent of \(f\), by Step 3.

\(\sum_{j \in J} (1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert + s \circ f (j)) - 1 / 2 (\vert s \circ f (j) \vert - s \circ f (j))) = r_1 - r_2 := r\), by the proposition that for any convergent series on the \(1\)-dimensional Euclidean metric space and any real number, the series with the terms as the corresponding terms multiplied by the number converges with the convergence multiplied by the number and the proposition that for any \(2\) convergent series with any same domain on the \(1\)-dimensional Euclidean metric space, the series with the terms as the sums of the corresponding terms converges with the sum of the convergences.

\(= \sum_{j \in J} s \circ f (j) = r\), independent of \(f\).

\(\sum_{j \in J} s (j) = r\) is the special case that \(f = id\).
