Finite-Step Bounds for Iterated Correlation Matrices
2026-04-16 · via math.ST updates on arXiv.org

We establish finite-step probabilistic upper bounds on the contraction ratios $ρ_k = Δ_{k+1}/Δ_k$ for iterated Pearson correlation dynamics. Let $(P_k)_{k\ge 0}$ be the sequence generated by the Pearson update. Define $Δ_k := \|P_{k+1}-P_k\|_F$, $ρ_k := Δ_{k+1}/Δ_k$ for $Δ_k > 0$, and $δ_k := Δ_k/n$. Although $Δ_k \to 0$ along convergent trajectories, the ratios $ρ_k$ may exceed unity in finitely many steps. This behavior is invisible to local linearization. Our main contribution is a probabilistic bounding framework that captures these finite-step expansions. We initialize $P_0$ with i.i.d. $\mathcal{U}[-1,1]$ entries and let $\mathbb{P}$ be the induced measure. For $k \ge 2$, we construct state-dependent bounds $B_p : \mathbb{R}_+ \to \mathbb{R}_+$ satisfying $\mathbb{P}(ρ_k \le B_p(δ_k)) \ge p$. The functions $B^{\mathrm{q}}_p(δ)$ are empirical conditional $p$-quantiles of $\log ρ_k$ given $δ_k$ under logarithmic binning. Larger families $B^{\mathrm{TC}}_{p,τ}(δ)$ and $B^{\mathrm{tol}}_{p,τ}(δ)$ are obtained via multiplicative adjustments, yielding pointwise larger bounds that preserve the $δ$-dependence. Validation on held-out trajectories confirms the bounds hold with empirical coverage matching nominal levels for all $n \in [3,2000]$. The baseline $0.95$-quantile bound $B^{\mathrm{q}}_{0.95}(δ)$ yields two concrete results: $\mathbb{P}(ρ\le 1 \mid δ\le 0.03) \ge 0.95$ uniformly in $n$, and $\mathbb{P}(ρ\le 1.7) \ge 0.95$ for 21 of 22 dimensions. The exception $n = 69$ attains $2.35$, revealing a rare extreme upper tail discontinuity not captured by asymptotic analysis. These are the first finite-step probabilistic bounds for Pearson correlation dynamics. The framework is fully reproducible with provided code and data.
