Pointwise Envelopes

Use PointwiseEnvelope for real-variable estimates over x : ℝ directly, not for natural-indexed summatory endpoints. It is the real-variable sibling of AsympEnv.

function on a domain
+ main approximation
+ nonnegative error radius
= pointwise lower and upper bounds

Core API:

PointwiseEnvelope
PointwiseEnvelope.lower
PointwiseEnvelope.upper
PointwiseEnvelope.lower_le_value
PointwiseEnvelope.value_le_upper
PointwiseEnvelope.weakenError

The basic theorem shape is:

PointwiseEnvelope.lower_le_value
PointwiseEnvelope.value_le_upper

If an envelope proves |f x - main x| ≤ err x on a domain, these theorems give:

main x - err x ≤ f x
f x ≤ main x + err x

Algebra:

PointwiseEnvelope.add
PointwiseEnvelope.neg
PointwiseEnvelope.sub
PointwiseEnvelope.constMul

To convert a discrete summatory AsympEnv into a real-variable floor envelope:

AsympEnv.toPointwiseFloorEnvelope
