Working question: Does local agreement of truncated forces imply agreement of far-field amplitudes? The phase $\varepsilon\log(1+t)$ tends to zero for each fixed time as $\varepsilon\to0$, but can equal $\pi$ at an exponentially large time. This simple calculation shows why local coefficient convergence cannot replace uniform resolvent, radiation and amplitude estimates. A growing cutoff must preserve the constants used at infinity.

Cutting off a force makes it act only in a bounded region. We want to recover the original scattering problem as that region grows. Agreement on every bounded set does not by itself control a resolvent at real energy or an amplitude measured at infinite distance. The proof needs a common resolvent bound, a radiation condition that survives the changing operator, and a uniform estimate for the final amplitude.

Read Admissible differential perturbations and Regularizing long-range coefficients for the coefficient classes used here. Limiting absorption for long-range differential perturbations supplies the fixed-operator boundary values and homogeneous radiation uniqueness. The kernel argument comes from Frequency cutoffs and compact scattering remainders. The local Hamilton geometry is in Hamilton trajectories under a long-range force, Escaping Lagrangians on regular energy surfaces, and Generating functions and the end of a localized force. Finally, Commuting coordinates for long-range evolution and Transverse moments and outgoing amplitudes give the factored evolution and its amplitude stability theorem.

We use Fourier inversion, Plancherel and smooth finite-dimensional flows. The complete Hilbert-valued integration receiver proves the norm fundamental theorem, bounded-map integral rule, propagator variation and integrable tails used below. The arbitrary-self-adjoint spectral theorem, including its original second-moment domain, is proved in Self-adjoint spectral calculus with the original domain, through the complete bundled unitary and Cayley-transform proofs, with no lower-bound or separability assumption. Section 1 of Wave operators and modified phases proves the group and generator criterion. Distorted Fourier transforms and spectral density, Lemma 1.1, proves continuous-test spectral inversion. Hörmander's freely accessible wave-operator paper [H76] treats differential perturbations and phase comparison; Yafaev [Y] treats a Schrödinger model. Their comparison theorems do not supply the uniform truncation and strong channel-amplitude assertion proved here. Teschl [T] and Oh [O] supply spectral and analytic background.

1. The approximation statements

Use $D=-i\partial$, left quantization, and an inner product linear in its first entry. Put $X=\langle x\rangle$, $\Xi=\langle\xi\rangle$, and

For $r_k=2^k$, let $S_0=\{|x|<1\}$ and $S_k=\{2^{k-1}\le|x|<2^k\}$, $k\ge1$. The endpoint norms are

Every component of $\mathcal Y_m$ is a derivative of the same distribution. Weak-star convergence in this space means convergence of every displayed derivative against every $B$ test. Write $\dot B^*$ for the $B^*$-norm closure of Schwartz space.

Let $P_0$ be a real scalar elliptic polynomial of integer order $m\ge1$. Let $V$ be a symmetric, elliptic, $2$-admissible differential perturbation, with the continuous highest coefficients and sharp local coefficient products of the first prerequisite. Its realization is

Choose real $\rho\in C_c^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$, equal to one on the unit ball, and define

Let $Z(P_0)$ be the critical values of $P_0$, let $\mathcal A$ be the eigenvalues of $H$ outside that set, and put $\Omega=\mathbb R\setminus(Z(P_0)\cup\mathcal A)$.

Theorem 1.1. Let $I\subset\Omega$ be a compact interval. For all sufficiently large $j$, $H_j$ is self-adjoint on the common domain $H^m$, has no eigenvalue on $I$, and has both boundary resolvents there. There are a complex neighborhood $\mathcal O$ of $I$ and $C_I$, independent of $j$, such that

The same bound holds for $R_{j,\sigma}(\lambda)=(H_j-\lambda-\sigma i0)^{-1}$, $\sigma=\pm1$. If $\lambda_j\to\lambda$ in $I$ and $f_j\to f$ in $B$, then

For fixed $f$, these convergences are uniform in $\lambda\in I$, with weak-star uniformity understood for each $B$ test. They also hold for norm-continuous $B$-valued $f(\lambda)$, or for $f_j(\lambda)$ converging to it uniformly in $B$.

Theorem 1.2. Work in a fixed regular frequency chart with a positive distinguished free velocity component. Use one compact frequency cutoff $\chi$, one transverse cutoff, and the normalized Hamilton constructions with one common starting time. Let $G_j,G$ be their local real generating functions, and set

Each line takes the transverse slice at $x_1=s$ after applying the full frequency-localized resolvent. These slices have continuous $L^2(\mathbb R^{n-1})$ representatives. On every compact energy interval for which this chart and cutoff are valid, their strong amplitudes satisfy

The conclusion also holds for the compact forcing families in Theorem 1.1. The other boundary sign and outgoing direction have the corresponding signed construction. In dimension one the transverse Hilbert space is $\mathbb C$. Empty free shells have no local channels, and are covered by the off-energy estimates.

We prove the resolvent statement first. We then obtain strong localized forcing, compare finite Hamilton trajectories and normalized actions, and apply the amplitude stability theorem.

2. What the cutoff changes

Regularization permits a real-left splitting $V=L^{\mathrm r}+S^{\mathrm r}$, where $L^{\mathrm r}=\sum\ell_\alpha D^\alpha$ is smooth. For some $0<\delta_0<1/3$, its coefficients have every derivative bound

The short-range coefficients $c_\alpha$ of $S^{\mathrm r}$ obey

Here $p_\alpha=\infty$ at order $m$. At lower order, put $k=m-|\alpha|>0$: take $p_\alpha=n/k$ when $n>2k$, a fixed finite $p_\alpha>2$ when $n=2k$, and $p_\alpha=2$ when $n<2k$. The highest coefficients are continuous. A fixed compact adjustment can make $L^{\mathrm r}$ zero on a sufficiently large ball for the energy-root construction; that adjustment is included in $S^{\mathrm r}$.

Write $V=\sum a_\alpha D^\alpha$. The finite product rule gives the exact splitting

In the inner sum, $\beta\le\alpha$ coordinatewise and $\beta\ne\alpha$. It uses every coefficient of $V$. The total $\rho_jV\rho_j$ is symmetric by two test pairings with real $\rho_j$. Its real-left part $L_j^{\mathrm r}$ need not be separately symmetric.

The slope of the concave function $\mu_0$ is at most one. Therefore

A positive cutoff derivative of order $q$ has size $C_qj^{-q}$ on $j\le|x|\le Cj$. There $j$ and $X$ are comparable. Every distributed derivative of $\rho_j^2\ell_\alpha$ thus retains (9), with common constants. The commutator terms containing a long-range coefficient gain at least one cutoff derivative, so their size is at most $CX^{-1-\delta_0}$.

For a rough coefficient, the exponent required at the lower order $\beta$ is no greater than the exponent at order $\alpha$. The inclusion between these local $L^p$ spaces on a unit ball is bounded. Multiplication by a cutoff derivative therefore preserves the required product estimate and short-range decay. All commutator terms have lower order, so the continuous highest coefficients are retained.

The full principal coefficients agree with those of $H$ on $|x|<j$. Outside that ball the perturbing principal coefficients are uniformly small for large $j$. The bounded cutoff gives a common ellipticity modulus through its transition region. The Sobolev domain of an elliptic operator consequently gives the asserted realization of $H_j$.

The same actual local product estimate yields

For the main coefficient differences use their support outside $j$; unit balls enlarge it by at most one. A long-range cutoff commutator has the better rate $j^{-1-\delta_0}$. The rough commutators have an extra cutoff power as well. This argument includes the actual highest derivative products.

Insert $H=H_j+(H-H_j)$ in the fixed graph inequality. For $u\in H^m$,

Absorption for large $j$ gives one graph constant. The opposite bound follows from the common coefficient product estimates.

For later use, the unitary groups converge strongly on finite time intervals. For $f\in H^m$, spectral evolution preserves its graph norm, and the common-domain product rule gives

Here is the common-domain product rule explicitly. Put $w(t)=e^{-itH}f$. Spectral dominated convergence in the measure $(1+\lambda^2)d(E_H(\lambda)f,f)$ makes this path continuous in the graph norm of $H$, hence in $H^m$ and in the graph norm of each fixed $H_j$. Its Hilbert derivative is $-iHw(t)$. In the difference quotient of $e^{itH_j}w(t)$, split the increment into the change of the group on the fixed vector $w(t)\in\mathcal D(H_j)$ and the change of $w$ multiplied by the unitary at the new time. The self-adjoint generator criterion gives $iH_jw(t)$ for the first quotient; strong continuity and $w'=-iHw$ give the second. This proves (15) in Hilbert norm. Its right side is continuous because $H_j-H:H^m\to L^2$ is bounded and $w$ is $H^m$-continuous. The norm fundamental theorem therefore integrates (15). Integration and unitarity give

Approximate any $L^2$ vector by $H^m$ vectors. The two unitary approximation errors have sum at most $2\|f-f_k\|$. Choose $k$, then $j$. This proves strong finite-time convergence for every $L^2$ vector.

3. Bounded graphs have strong weighted limits

Suppose $(H_j-z_j)u_j=f_j$, $z_j\to\lambda$, $f_j\to f$ in $B$, and $\|u_j\|_{\mathcal Y_m}$ is bounded. The derivative-graph compactness lemma in the limiting-absorption prerequisite supplies a subsequence with weak-star derivatives and

Its proof uses local Sobolev compactness and the summable shell tail $\sum r_k^{1-2b}$. On every fixed ball, $H_j=H$ eventually, including all differential products. The sharp local coefficient product is a bounded map from local $H^m$ to $L^2$. Its weak continuity identifies the equation $(H-\lambda)u=f$.

The derivative endpoint bound also puts every $u_j,u$ in $H^{m,-b}$. Insert the comparable weight on each unit ball in the coefficient product proof. The coefficients of $H_j-H$ have uniformly small local norms by (13). Weighted integer derivative equivalence, proved in Weighted Sobolev spaces and rough elliptic estimates, gives

No rough coefficient is differentiated. Thus

Apply the fixed weighted graph inequality to these already known weighted Sobolev inputs. Together with (17), it proves

This conclusion is conditional on a bounded endpoint graph. The common resolvent bound will be proved below.

4. A symmetric split for the resolvent estimate

For the commutator argument use a different split of the same $V$. Combining the long-range resolvent estimates, Sections 2–4, constructs $V=L+S$, with both parts symmetric on compact smooth tests, $L$ smooth and $P_0+L$ elliptic. Its coefficients satisfy, for some $\delta_L>0$,

Complex lower coefficients are allowed in this symmetric left expression. The coefficients of $S$ are short range with a gap $\epsilon_S>0$.

Set $L_j=\rho_jL\rho_j$, $S_j=\rho_jS\rho_j$. Both are symmetric, and $H_j=P_0+L_j+S_j$. Choose once

The cutoff coefficient expansion is the same finite rule as (11). Its smooth coefficients obey (21) with the smaller gap $\delta$, uniformly in $j$. For a physical derivative of total order $k\ge1$, a term with $q<k$ cutoff derivatives has exponent at least $q+1+\delta_L(k-q)$. If all derivatives hit the cutoff, it has exponent $k+\delta_L\ge1+\delta k$. The commutator terms have an additional cutoff derivative. These bounds hold at every fixed derivative order. The principal part is $\rho_j^2$ times that of $L$, and the argument of Section 2 gives a common ellipticity modulus.

The primary short-range map and its symmetric integral dual are uniform:

For the second line apply the primary map at weight $-t-d_*$ and use symmetry with the exact weighted-space integral dual.

The strict choice of gap also gives, for every fixed $t$,

Indeed, $X^{d_*}$ times the local norm of $(\rho_j^2-1)c_\alpha$ is bounded by $Cj^{-(\epsilon_S-\delta)}$. Each commutator coefficient gains a cutoff power. Conjugating the input weight adds derivatives of $X^{-t}$ and lowers the differential order; its new local $L^p$ exponent is no larger than the old one. Apply the unit-ball product estimate, integrate over centers by Fubini, and sum the finitely many differentiated terms. This proves (24) for the actual products.

5. One estimate with a compact error

We first allow eigenvalues. On a complex neighborhood of any compact regular free-energy interval,

with one constant for all large $j$.

The weighted version of (13) at weight $-d_*$ makes the fixed weighted graph inequality uniform by absorption. Since $d_*\ge1$ and $z$ stays bounded,

The primary $S_j$ map at weight $-d_*$ bounds $\|S_ju\|_2$ by the same expression.

Choose $\chi_0,\chi\in C_c^\infty$, equal one near the free shells, with $\chi=1$ near $\operatorname{supp}\chi_0$. Their support lies away from critical frequencies. The resolvent away from the energy surface gives, uniformly,

Here is a finite construction of the required common constant. The common principal ellipticity, coefficient decay and bounded energies choose the same reciprocal region in that prerequisite. Its inverse has common differentiated bounds. Write its exact first identity as

where $\mathscr R_j$ has symbol weight $h=X^{-\delta}\Xi^{-1}$. Put $C=1-\chi(D)$. Keep the ordered finite identity

Choose $N\ge m$ with $\delta N\ge1$. Then $h^N\le X^{-1}\Xi^{-m}$, so the first remainder maps $H^{0,-1}$ to $H^{m,0}$. In the separated-cutoff terms, right multiplication by $C_0$ is exact. Every finite coefficient with the left $C$ vanishes on $\operatorname{supp}\chi_0$. A sufficiently long finite remainder therefore has the same required weight. The finite inverse sum has weight $\Xi^{-m}$ and maps $L^2$ to $H^m$. All constants use finitely many common bounds. Apply (29) to $A_ju=f-S_ju$ and use (26) to obtain (27).

For the near-energy part, $u\in H^m$ already implies $S_ju\in H^{0,d_*}\subset B$. The symmetric dual map at weight $-a_*$, followed by the compact-frequency smoothing $\chi(D)$, gives

Its output weight is $a_*>1/2$. A resolvent estimate at noncritical frequencies, applied to the symmetric $P_0+L_j$, consequently gives

The free monotone multiplier and minimum free speed are fixed. The full long-range commutator has common stronger positive derivative bounds, and one finite order $\delta N\ge1$ controls its remainder. Its positive-symbol and endpoint estimates therefore have common constants.

A fixed compact-frequency multiplier bounds every derivative of $\chi(D)u$ by its zeroth endpoint norm. Combine (27) and (31). For $b_0=1/2+\delta/4<a_*$, endpoint embedding gives $\|u\|_{0,-b_0}\le C_{b_0}\|u\|_{\mathcal Y_m}$. Split physical space at a large radius to obtain

Choose $\eta$ after the common constant from (27)–(31) and absorb. This proves (25). Apply the same argument to $-H_j$ for the lower half-plane. A finite energy cover supplies one neighborhood of the whole interval. If the nearby free shells are empty, take $\chi=0$ and use only (27).

6. Radiation survives the changing operator

Suppose $u_j=(H_j-z_j)^{-1}f_j$ has a bounded derivative graph, with $\operatorname{Im}z_j>0$, $z_j\to\lambda$ regular, and $f_j\to f$ in $B$. Section 3 gives its subsequential equation and strong weighted convergence. Choose

Then $d_*-b=a_*+\gamma>1/2$. By (23)–(24),

Thus $f_j^0=f_j-S_ju_j\to f^0=f-Su$ strongly in $B$.

Use the escape family $q_R,Q_R,\Phi_R,s_R$ constructed in Radiation for limits of long-range resolvents, Sections 5–6. It depends on the free polynomial, limiting energy and one fixed frequency cutoff, and is independent of $j$. Its positive symbol is free geometry. In the exact finite commutator for $P_0+L_j$, scalar zero-order products cancel. Positive coefficient derivatives have (21), and a fixed finite order with $\delta N\ge1$ controls all full differential-order remainders. After the escape scaling, the error has the common class

Its quadratic bound is $C\|u_j\|_{0,-b}^2$. The domain identity is valid because $u_j\in H^m$, $Q_R$ preserves this space, and $P_0+L_j$ is symmetric there. The term $-\operatorname{Im}z_j\|Q_Ru_j\|^2$ is nonpositive. The escape estimate therefore reads

Fix $R$ first. Compact output support and frequency smoothing give strong convergence of the left output. The forcing in the pairing converges strongly in $B$; the solution converges weak-star in $B^*$. The last norm converges by (20). Hence

Now let $R\to\infty$. The escape kernel is zero on an inner ball of radius $cR$, and has a common bounded $B$ map. Its action on a Schwartz input has a rapidly decreasing outer tail. Density gives $Q_Rf^0\to0$ in $B$, whereas $Q_Ru$ is uniformly bounded in $B^*$. Thus the annular escape mass in (37) tends to zero.

The remaining radiation argument concerns the fixed limiting equation. Its off-energy part belongs to $H^{m,1/2}$, because $f^0\in B\subset H^{0,1/2}$. On the frequency collar, a symbol vanishing on an outgoing angular neighborhood factors through $\Phi_R$ on the output annulus, up to an $X^{-1}$ error. For a symbol vanishing exactly on the outgoing free bundle, split it into such a piece and a piece with arbitrarily small supremum on a thin energy-angular collar. The derivative-independent shell limsup estimate in Section 8 of the radiation prerequisite treats the second piece. Take the radius limit before shrinking that collar. The exact full-order decomposition through derivatives then gives

Here $M_\lambda=\{P_0=\lambda\}$ and $N_+(M_\lambda)=\{(t\nabla P_0(\xi),\xi):t>0,\ \xi\in M_\lambda\}$. This is the full radiation condition. In dimension one the escape construction uses its signed half-line form. Empty shells are entirely off-energy.

For lower resolvents apply the argument to $-H_j,-H,-P_0$, with $-z_j,-f_j$. Its positive bundle is the original negative bundle. The same actual products, weights and domain assertions hold.

7. Remove the compact error and take boundary limits

Return to $I\subset\Omega$. If no common bound (5) existed, choose $j_k\ge k$, nonreal $z_k$ of distance at most $1/k$ from $I$, and normalized graphs

Extract an energy limit $\lambda\in I$ and one imaginary sign. Graph compactness and (25) give a limit with

Section 6 gives its signed radiation condition. The homogeneous radiation characterization in the limiting-absorption prerequisite makes $u$ an eigenfunction of $H$. Since $\lambda\in I\subset\Omega$, this is impossible. A common neighborhood and bound therefore exist.

Each $H_j$ separately satisfies that prerequisite. Its regular-energy eigenvectors have every polynomial weight, so belong to $B$ and have finite nonzero derivative graph norm. An eigenvector $e$ with eigenvalue $\lambda\in I$ would obey

This contradicts (5) for small $\eta>0$. Hence large $j$ have no eigenvalues on $I$, and their own boundary values exist. Weak lower semicontinuity gives the same common endpoint bound.

Let $\lambda_j\to\lambda$, $f_j\to f$, and fix a sign. Choose a countable dense set of $B$ tests. At the $j$-th fixed operator and energy, choose $0<\eta_j<1/j$ so that

has pairing less than $1/j$ against the first $j$ tests, for all $|\alpha|\le m$. Boundary existence permits this finite choice. The common endpoint bound extends the small difference to every test by density. Section 6 applies to the genuine nonreal graphs and gives the limiting-energy radiation condition. Every subsequential limit is consequently $R_\sigma(\lambda)f$, by homogeneous uniqueness. Bounded graph compactness excludes a subsequence separated from that limit in any weak-star test.

The real boundary graphs themselves satisfy their actual equations and the common derivative bound. Section 3 upgrades this weak convergence to (6) for every $b>1/2$. For fixed $f$, a failed uniform conclusion on $I$ would give a sequence of energies with a convergent subsequence. Apply (6) along it and the fixed-$H$ boundary continuity, with the same weighted graph upgrade. Both limits coincide, a contradiction. The same compactness argument works for the forcing families stated in Theorem 1.1. This proves that theorem.

8. Real roots and changing compact kernels

Use the real-left split again. On a small common graph collar,

The fixed large zero region for $L^{\mathrm r}$, all common regularized coefficient bounds, and positive $\partial_{\xi_1}P_0$ give one collar and one nonzero quotient bound. Energy-shell factors and outgoing equations, Sections 5–7, gives the unique real roots and all their physical and frequency derivatives. Energy is a smooth external parameter throughout its finite implicit recursion. Put

Every fixed frequency derivative of the difference of the root symbols, quotients and reciprocals has supremum $O(j^{-\delta_0})$, uniformly in $x,\lambda$. To prove this, interpolate $L_\theta^{\mathrm r}=(1-\theta)L^{\mathrm r}+\theta L_j^{\mathrm r}$. The root has a common positive derivative denominator. Its exact differentiated equation is

Every frequency derivative of the numerator contains a coefficient difference $O(j^{-\delta_0})$. All root and denominator derivatives are commonly bounded. Differentiate this finite formula and integrate in $\theta$. The finite quotient recurrence and reciprocal identity give the same rate.

Compact frequency support and integration by parts imply a kernel difference bounded by $C_Nj^{-\delta_0}(1+|x-y|)^{-N}$. The endpoint kernel estimate therefore gives

The exact coefficients of $S_j^{\mathrm r}-S^{\mathrm r}$ vanish inside $j$ and have common short-range decay with $\kappa=\min(\delta_0,\epsilon_0)>0$. The enlarged-shell product estimate, summed only over those outer shells, gives

This includes the rough highest coefficient products.

Extend $a_j,a$ by one real transverse cutoff $\psi$, equal to one over the projection of $\operatorname{supp}\chi$, and denote them by $\widetilde a_j,\widetilde a$. The exact energy-factor remainder is

where $\ell_{j,\alpha}=\rho_j^2\ell_\alpha$. The pre-derivative kernels are $K_{b_{j,\lambda}}(x,y)(\ell_{j,\alpha}(x)-\ell_{j,\alpha}(y))$. The coefficient segment formula when $|x-y|\le X(x)/2$, and arbitrary kernel distance decay in the complementary region, give

The double annular coefficient sum for these compact kernels has one summable majorant, independent of $j,\lambda$. Its omitted sum outside a finite input-output shell window is uniformly small. Inside any fixed pair of balls the kernels are exactly equal to their untruncated kernels for large $j$: coefficients, roots and quotients agree there. Choose the window first, then $j$. Composition with the derivative graph components proves

The fixed $\mathcal R_\lambda$ and $T_\lambda S^{\mathrm r}$ are compact graph maps by the frequency-kernel prerequisite. They send bounded derivative-wise weak-star convergence to norm convergence, and are norm continuous in energy.

9. Strong forcing produces strong local slices

Write $u_{j,\lambda}=R_{j,+}(\lambda)f$, $u_\lambda=R_+(\lambda)f$. The localized equation has the exact forcing

All these forcings have a common $B$ bound. Along any sequence of energies converging in the compact chart interval, Theorem 1.1 gives weak-star derivative graph convergence. Equations (46)–(50) remove the varying operators with small norm errors. The fixed compact maps then give strong convergence. For the term on $f$, the bounded $B$ map suffices. The limiting forcing is $B$-norm continuous in energy, by the frequency-kernel prerequisite. Compactness of the energy interval therefore gives

The same argument permits the compact forcing families in the theorem.

The root comparison and compact transverse kernels also give

The second line follows from the real-kernel adjoint calculation and the common first physical derivative bound. Its integral is finite. Time derivatives of those kernels give local operator-norm continuity.

Each boundary solution has its own directional radiation. A fixed angular cutoff away from its outgoing velocity rays gives vanishing normalized ball mass in the region $s<T$, for every fixed $T$. The outgoing theorem in the energy-root prerequisite identifies its continuous transverse representative as

The propagators have one bound in both time directions, from the common adjoint-defect integral. On a compact two-time rectangle, Duhamel's formula and (53) give uniform operator-norm convergence of propagators.

The embedding $B\subset L^1(\mathbb R_s;L^2_z)$ turns (52) into strong integrable forcing convergence. To compare (54), split its integral at a large negative time. The old tail is uniformly small because the limiting forcing family is a compact subset of $L^1$; the forcing differences are uniformly small in that norm. On the remaining finite rectangle use propagator convergence. Thus, with $\mathcal H=L^2(\mathbb R^{n-1})$,

All slices have one common bound for every $s$. This argument also proves strong slice continuity in energy. In transverse dimension zero the root operator is real scalar and its adjoint defect is zero.

10. Compare the normalized Hamilton phases

The real coefficient family has common full regularized bounds with the smaller gap $\delta$ from (22). In the scaled Hamilton proof, the low-order bounds choose one contraction tube, one positive interior margin and one starting time $T$. The Hessian bound $Ct^{-1-\delta}$ is integrable. Variation of constants and the finite derivative partitions give common constants at every higher fixed order.

The near-shell initial-sheet contraction has one regular collar and one inverse coefficient bound. The mixed projection inverse has a common first-derivative inverse bound, and every higher derivative follows by isolating it in the finite chain rule. The generating-function proof consequently gives, with $\mu$ defined as in (9) using $\delta$,

for one $s_0>2CT$. The initial finite action integral is commonly bounded on a fixed slice; integration of the first radial derivative controls the zeroth-order term too. All choices are uniform on the compact energy chart.

Fix $S<\infty$. The inverse projection puts each relevant trajectory at a Hamilton time $T\le t\le C_*S$. Its initial frequencies belong to one compact outer collar. The common escape estimates give

Choose a radius $R_S$ containing these entire finite trajectory segments and the initial positions $T\nabla P_0(\zeta)$, with $\zeta$ denoting the full initial frequency, uniformly in energy and $j$. Use a slightly larger slice interval as well.

For $j>R_S$, the forces and all derivatives agree in that region. The near-shell initial sheet equations therefore have the same unique root. Their initial action values agree. ODE uniqueness makes their finite trajectories agree, and so does their normalized action

The two projection maps are identical there, and their unique inverses select the same point at $(s,\eta)$. Since $G=s\xi_1-\psi$,
