plain-language theorem explainer

The lemma establishes that the antiderivative Phi of any continuous real-valued H satisfies Phi'(t) = H(t) at every real t. Analysts working on regularity for d'Alembert functional equations cite it as the opening step of the integration bootstrap. The proof is a direct one-line application of the interval-integral differentiation theorem under continuity.

Claim. Let $H : ℝ → ℝ$ be continuous. Define $Φ(t) := ∫_0^t H(s) ds$. Then $Φ$ is differentiable at every $t ∈ ℝ$ with $Φ'(t) = H(t)$.

background

Phi is the antiderivative defined by integration of H from 0 to t. H is the shifted cost function H(x) = J(x) + 1, which converts the Recognition Composition Law into the d'Alembert equation H(t+u) + H(t-u) = 2 H(t) H(u) with H(0) = 1. The module proves every continuous solution is C^∞ via bootstrap: continuous H implies Phi is C^1, which upgrades H to C^1, and so on. Upstream results include the CostAlgebra definition of H and the identical Phi construction in AczelProof.

proof idea

The proof is a one-line wrapper that applies intervalIntegral.integral_hasDerivAt_right. It passes the interval integrability of H on [0,t] (from continuity), strong measurability at the filter, and continuity at t.

why it matters

This lemma starts the regularity bootstrap that eliminates the former H_AczelClassification hypothesis, the last remaining foundation axiom. It is invoked directly by deriv_phi_eq, phi_differentiable, and representation_formula, which together yield the ODE H'' = c H and the classification into 1, cosh, and cos. The result anchors the smoothness claim in the Aczél theorem for the cost functional equation.
