Constant Function in Form Domain #
Shows that the constant function 1 is in the energy form domain,
applies the energy splitting to it, and establishes indicator complement identities.

Section 1: Inner integral bound for constant function #
For 0 < t < 2L, the L² norm of φ - S_t φ is at most 2t,
where φ = zeroExtend 1 I. The function disagrees with its translate
only on the symmetric difference I Δ (I+t), which has measure 2t.
Section 2: Archimedean energy finiteness #
The archimedean energy integral of the constant function is finite.
Combines archWeight(t) ≤ exp(t/2)/(2t) with inner integral ≤ 2t
to get integrand ≤ exp(L), then integrates over (0, 2L).
Section 3: Constant function in form domain #
The inner integral of the constant function is finite for any shift.
The integrand ≤ 1 on I ∪ (I + shift), both of which have measure 2L.
The constant function 1 belongs to the form domain D(E_λ):
its energy form is finite. The archimedean part is finite by
archEnergyIntegral_one_lt_top, and the prime part is a finite
sum of finite terms.
Section 4: Splitting applied to constant #
The energy of the constant function splits across any EnergyFormSplit.
Direct application of EnergyFormSplit.split with G = 1.
Section 5: Indicator complement arithmetic #
For B ⊆ I, the zero-extended indicators of B and I \ B sum to
the zero-extended constant function: 1_B + 1_{I\B} = 1_I pointwise.
Uses Set.indicator_indicator to simplify I.indicator (B.indicator f) = (I ∩ B).indicator f, which reduces to B.indicator f when B ⊆ I.
For any B, the zero-extended indicators of B and I \ B have
disjoint support: their product is zero at every point.
Since B and I \ B are disjoint, at most one indicator is nonzero
at any point, making their product zero.
