Continuous-time Shannon-Hartley: converse assembly and the identity #
This is the terminal file of the continuous-time band-limited AWGN converse. It bundles the two
upstream layers — the fixed-T water-filling real analysis (Waterfill.lean) and the
Gaussian rotation / band-Gram ellipsoid (Rotation.lean) — into the converse half
contAwgn_le_shannonHartley (≤), and closes the headline identity contAwgn_eq_shannonHartley
(=) by le_antisymm against the achievability half contAwgn_ge_shannonHartley.
The route: for a fixed window [0, T] the band-Gram ellipsoid (contAwgn_converse_ellipsoid) gives
log M ≤ ∑ᵢ ½log(1 + νᵢQᵢ/(N₀/2)) + Fano, where the νᵢ are the band-Gram eigenvalues; the
water-filling split (waterfill_head_tail_bound) with the prolate count
(bandGramReal_high_count_le) caps the sum by c₀·TP/N₀ + count·½log(1 + TP/(count·N₀/2)).
Dividing by T and letting T → ∞ (waterfill_head_div_tendsto, prolateCount/T → 2W) then
c₀ → 0 yields contAwgnRate ε ≤ bandlimitedAwgnCapacity/(1-ε), and the ε → 0 infimum closes
the converse.

InformationTheory.Shannon.ShannonHartley.contAwgn_log_le_waterfill
sourceFixed-T converse core: for any code c over [0, T] with average error ≤ ε and at least
two messages, log M is capped by the water-filling bound at threshold c₀. Combines the band-Gram
ellipsoid, the prolate count domination, and the head/tail water-filling split, then the Fano
rearrangement (1-ε)·log M ≤ [waterfill] + log 2.

sourcePer-T message-count bound: log(contAwgnMaxMessages T) is capped by the fixed-T
water-filling bound at threshold c₀. Handles the empty / sub-threshold branches (log ≤ 0 ≤
water-filling numerator) and applies contAwgn_log_le_waterfill to the extracted maximizing

InformationTheory.Shannon.ShannonHartley.waterfill_full_div_tendsto
sourceThe fixed-c₀ water-filling bound divided by T converges as T → ∞ to
(c₀·P/N₀ + bandlimitedAwgnCapacity)/(1-ε): the head term c₀·TP/N₀/T is the constant c₀·P/N₀,
the count term is waterfill_head_div_tendsto, and log 2 / T → 0.

W·log(1 + P/(N₀·W)) — the Shannon-Hartley converse (≤). It is the ε → 0 infimum of the

W·log(1 + P/(N₀·W)) — the continuous-time Shannon-Hartley formula.
Both halves are proved: achievability (≥) by contAwgn_ge_shannonHartley, and the converse
(≤) by contAwgn_le_shannonHartley (band-Gram ellipsoid → prolate-count water-filling → the
T → ∞, c₀ → 0, ε → 0 limits). The statement is true as framed over the phantom-free
contAwgnOperationalCapacity (the subtype infimum ⨅ ε : ↥(Set.Ioo 0 1)).
Hypotheses hW/hN₀/hP are regularity-only (not load-bearing).
@audit:ok (#print axioms = [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound], sorryAx-free — the exact
trace identity tsum_prolateEigenvalues_eq (itself sorryAx-free) is off this
converse path, which lands via the count domination bandGramReal_high_count_le. Signature scan:
both le_antisymm halves are regularity-only, no load-bearing hyp leaks into the identity; the
two-sided sandwich over the phantom-free subtype infimum forecloses false-as-framed.)
