""" certify_rstar_rigorous.py ========================== Rigorous (Lohner-style) certification of the inner stability boundary r* for the dm^3 system: r_dot = r(1 - r^2) + eps*(r-1)*e^{-z} z_dot = r^2 - eps*(r-1)^2*e^{-z} (eps = 2) r* is defined as the boundary in r0 (at z0=0) separating trajectories that escape (r -> 0) from trajectories that converge to the attracting set {r -> 1, z -> infinity}. This is a genuine transcendental threshold of a coupled nonlinear planar ODE with no known closed form (see METHODOLOGY.md, section "Path 3 - closed form (ruled out)", for the algebraic/Hamiltonian checks ruling this out: nonlinsolve degenerate, the exactness test d(r_dot)/dz + d(z_dot)/dr not identically zero, no separability under w = e^{-z}, and (r=1, z=0) not a fixed point of the reduced planar system). METHOD (replaces plain float bisection in the original certify_rstar.py): For each candidate r0, integrate forward using a rigorous Lohner-style step: 1. CENTER trajectory: ordinary RK4, but in mpmath arbitrary precision (removes the float64 roundoff floor that limits plain bisection to ~1e-15 brackets). 2. LINEAR error transport: propagate an error radius (rad_r, rad_z) via the Jacobian of the vector field along the center trajectory. This tracks the true stretching/contraction directions of the flow instead of re-boxing axis-aligned every step (which suffers the "wrapping effect" -- see benchmarks below, ~5x10^5x artificial inflation by t=7 for the naive approach). 3. RIGOROUS SECOND-ORDER REMAINDER: bound the nonlinear (Lagrange-form) remainder over the step using INTERVAL arithmetic on the Hessian of the vector field, evaluated over the current error box. This term is added to the linearly-transported radius, so the final radius is a genuine over-approximation of the true reachable set width, not an estimate. The result at each bisection step is: "this r0 is certified to ESCAPE (or CONVERGE), with the classification decided at time t_decide while the rigorous error radius was still " -- i.e. the radius at decision time is a hard certificate that floating-point/method error could not have flipped the classification. BENCHMARKED FINDINGS (see METHODOLOGY.md for full numbers): - Naive interval RK4 (direct substitution): wrapping-effect blowup, MemoryError/OverflowError by t=8-10 even at 2000-bit working precision. - Linearized-only (no rigorous remainder): matches true trajectory-cloud spread to within an order of magnitude; NOT a certificate (drops the nonlinear remainder). - This script (linearized + rigorous Lagrange remainder): genuine certificate; radius grows as ~e^(2.9t), consistent with the measured Lyapunov-type separation rate of the flow near the separatrix.
