+[

+]
 These weights are nonnegative because the summands decrease along the
 tail, and $e_j+e_{j+1}=w_j$, so the edges exhaust the weight at every
 positive vertex. Build the negative-side edges the same way, from the
 negative tail toward zero. The only possibly unused weight sits at the
 central vertex, with value
-\[
- R(v)=\sum_{j\in\mathbb Z}(-1)^j w(v+jr).
-\]
+[
+ R(v)=sum_{jinmathbb Z}bbZ(-1)^j w(v+jr).

 To check no weight is overused, periodize $w$ at period $2r$ and
 subtract its translate by $r$. By (eq:cauchy-transform), with
-$\tau=e^{-\pi/r}$, this gives the absolutely convergent Fourier series
-\[
- R(v)=\frac2r\sum_{m\ge0}\tau^{2m+1}\cos((2m+1)\pi v)/(r).
-\]
-Writing $a=\pi v/r$, the sum equals
-\[
- \re\frac{\tau e^{\ii a}}{1-\tau^2e^{2\ii a}}

 and integrate the edge weights against $dv$ over $[-r/2,r/2)$. The

 For a rational symmetric matrix, eliminate a positive diagonal pivot via
 its Schur complement. Congruence by an invertible triangular matrix shows
 the original is positive semidefinite exactly when the positive pivot and
 this Schur complement are. A negative diagonal gives a negative unit
 vector. If a remaining diagonal at $i$ is zero and its entry $b$ in column
-$j$ is nonzero, let $c$ be the diagonal at $j$; assume $c\ge0$,

 $(b^2)/((1+c+|b|)^2)[-2(1+c+|b|)+c]<0$. Otherwise continue
 with a positive diagonal pivot; when none remain, all entries are zero and
 the remainder is positive semidefinite. A negative vector of a Schur
 complement lifts to one of the original matrix using only rational
 arithmetic: with $P$ the eliminated block and $B$ its block against the

 These operations have polynomial bit complexity. Clear denominators in a
 rational matrix with $t$-bit entries; the product of all denominators has
 at most $G^2t$ bits. If $H$ is the resulting integer matrix with $s$-bit
 entries, the determinant expansion bounds every $j$-row minor by
-$j!\,2^{js}$, of bit length $O(G(s+\log G))$. Schur-complement entries are
+$j!,2^{js}$, of bit length $O(G(s+log G))$. Schur-complement entries are
 ratios of minors, and the inverse formula for $P$ gives the same bound for
 the lift. Fraction-reduced elimination with rational comparisons computes
