Bridge lemma for Lemma 11.2: fix a block index i and a base point x, and suppose the
admissible one-block slice domain
{d | x + 𝒰[i] d ∈ interior (effective_domain f)} is convex. If the i-th
slice d ↦ f (x + 𝒰[i] d) is L-smooth on that admissible slice domain and has gradient
block_gradient i x at d = 0, then the block update satisfies the quadratic upper model
f (x + 𝒰[i] d) ≤ f x + ⟪block_gradient i x, d⟫ + (L / 2) ‖d‖²
whenever both endpoints lie in interior (effective_domain f).
Re-centering the one-block slice at d identifies its gradient with the Chapter 11 block
gradient at the updated point x + 𝒰[i] d.
The Chapter 11 block-Lipschitz owner implies that the frozen one-block slice is
L_i-smooth on its natural admissible domain.
The admissible one-block slice domain is convex under the Chapter 11 standing assumptions.
Lemma 11.2: under Definition 11.4, the textbook one-block update satisfies the quadratic
upper model with the corresponding block Lipschitz constant L_i.
