PGD attacks and the spectral-norm training studies #
Each attack trains a verified net on its proof-rendered train step (Verified.Train's driver),
then runs PGD through the runtime with a Verified.PgdGen kernel, and reports clean vs
adversarial accuracy over an ε sweep next to the Lipschitz-margin certificate: the radius
m/(√2·L) of lipschitz_margin_certified_radius, at L the product of per-layer upper bounds
(denseLip, convLip; ReLU and the disjoint 2×2 max-pools are 1-Lipschitz). The Spectral
variants rescale the weights toward a norm ball every few steps (projectSpectral).
The certificate is for the real-arithmetic net at the margin the float forward prints; the f32
evaluation error of the logits is not accounted for (LipschitzCert.Float does that for its
reduced model only).

One-hot [bs, d1] f32 batch from int32-LE labels (1.0 = bytes 00 00 80 3F), for a possibly
partial final batch: rows past total records get an all-zero row (their padded images are
never scored, so the gradient they induce is irrelevant — the row just has to exist because
the batch dim is baked into the compiled module).

Instances For
The rows of one padded eval batch that are classified correctly: of the first
min bs (total - start) rows of logits ([bs, d1]), those whose argmax is the label of
record start + j. The pad rows past total are never scored.

Instances For
The Lipschitz-margin certificate over the split at params: returns the correctly classified
count and, for each radius in radii, how many of those points the certificate covers. A
point is covered at ε when it is classified correctly and its certified radius
m/(√2·L) is at least ε, m being the gap between the top and the runner-up logit (the
radius of lipschitz_margin_certified_radius, L the network's Lipschitz bound).

Instances For
PGD over the split: writes kernelText to kernelPath, opens it, and from each clean batch
x0 runs K steps of kernelFn (its params blob pgdParams ++ [onehot, x0]), then counts
the adversarial batch's correct rows under the forward at params.

The certificate's Lipschitz constants #
The printed certified radius is lipschitz_margin_certified_radius at L = ∏ᵢ Lᵢ, so each
layer's Lᵢ has to be an UPPER bound on its L2 Lipschitz constant. Power iteration cannot give
one: its Rayleigh quotient approaches ‖W‖₂ from below. The bound used here is the one
denseE_lipschitzL2_gram2 proves: with G = M·Mᵀ and H = Gᵀ·G, B = ‖H‖_F^{1/4} = (Σσᵢ⁸)^{1/8} ≥ σ₁. The power-iteration value is still computed from the same Gram and
printed beside it as the estimate, so the gap between the bound and the true norm stays
visible.
Relative slack on every host-computed bound. The Gram sums are evaluated in Float (f64)
from f32 weights, so the computed ‖H‖_F carries accumulation error far below this factor at
these layer sizes; the slack is the soundness margin for that rounding, not a proved one.
Equations
- roundingSlack = 1.000001
Instances For
The output-side Gram G a b = Σⱼ M a j · M b j (k×k, row-major) of the k×n matrix
M a j = get a j, row a being output a — the orientation of denseE, so G is the
hG data of denseE_lipschitzL2_gram2. M is copied into a contiguous buffer first.

Instances For
The Schatten-8 bound from the Gram: H = Gᵀ·G, then B = (Σ H²)^{1/8} times
roundingSlack — the B of denseE_lipschitzL2_gram2's hHF : Σ H² ≤ B⁸.

Instances For
Power-iteration estimate of σ₁ = √λ_max(G) (a lower bound, up to convergence).
Equations

Instances For
A dense layer W : [d0,d1] (row-major, logits = x·W + b). Its denseE matrix is Wᵀ
(d1 outputs), so the Gram is the d1×d1 WᵀW. The bias is a translation and leaves the
Lipschitz constant unchanged.
Instances For
A zero-padded 2-D convolution with kernel W : [outC, inC, kh, kw] (row-major). Writing the
conv as a sum over spatial taps T = Σ_{ky,kx} S_{ky,kx} ∘ M_{ky,kx}, each S a zero-filled
shift (norm ≤ 1, at any stride) and each M the [outC,inC] channel-mixing matrix at that
tap, the triangle inequality gives ‖T‖₂ ≤ Σ_tap ‖M_tap‖₂; each tap's ‖M_tap‖₂ is bounded
by its Schatten-8 bound. The per-tap bound is denseE_lipschitzL2_gram2; the tap-sum step
has no Lean theorem. Both steps are loose against the exact (Sedghi–Gupta–Long) conv norm.
est sums the taps' power-iteration values: the tap-sum at the true per-tap norms, not an
estimate of ‖T‖₂.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
Matrix-free spectral norm ‖W‖₂ of W : [d0,d1] (row-major) — power iteration that
applies W and Wᵀ as mat-vecs (σ = ‖W v‖, v the top right singular vector) instead
of forming the d1×d1 Gram. ~2·d0·d1 per iteration vs d0·d1² for the Gram (gramOut), so it's
cheap enough to call during training (the spectral-norm projection below). Fewer iters
(iters) trade a little precision for speed. An estimate from below, so never a
certificate constant (denseLip is).
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
Spectral-norm projection (projected SGD toward the spectral ball): rescale every weight
whose L2 norm exceeds c down to c, leaving biases untouched. Conv [o,i,kh,kw]: cap the
same tap-sum bound the certificate uses (convLip) by scaling the whole kernel, so for
the convs the projection and the certificate control the identical quantity. Dense [d0,d1]:
cap the matrix-free power-iteration estimate of ‖W‖₂ (specNormMV) — the certificate's
Schatten-8 bound costs a full Gram, too much to recompute every few steps — so a projected
dense layer's certified Lᵢ (denseLip) sits somewhat above c. This is the lever that
turns the (vacuous) product certificate non-vacuous. F32.scaleShift does the rescale.

Instances For
PGD attack on the verified MNIST MLP. Trains the 784→512→512→10 ReLU MLP on the
proof-rendered SGD step, then runs PGD with genMlpPgdStep, a hand-typed
StableHLO kernel that follows the formula of Proofs.mlpInputGrad (no theorem ties the
kernel's text). The Lipschitz certificate is the product of the three layers' spectral
norms, which is where the bound, and so the certificate, goes loose.

Instances For
Spectral-norm-constrained training of the verified MNIST MLP. Trains the 784→512→512→10 net with projected SGD onto the spectral ball
— after every projEvery proof-rendered steps (and once at the end) each weight Wᵢ is
rescaled so its power-iteration ‖Wᵢ‖₂ estimate is ≤ c (projectSpectral) — then runs the
same cert ≤ TRUE ≤ PGD sandwich. Sweeps a few caps c (plus an unconstrained baseline) so
the table shows the trade: shrinking c pulls the certified L = ∏ᵢ Lᵢ (the Schatten-8
bounds, each somewhat above c) down, turning the vacuous product certificate
non-vacuous — at the cost of clean accuracy. The empirical face of
lipschitz_margin_certified_radius (LeanMlir/Proofs/Certificates/LipschitzCert/Basic.lean): smaller L ⇒ larger
certified radius m/(√2·L). The training gradient comes from the proof-rendered train step;
the projection is host-side weight rescaling, and the PGD kernel is the hand-typed
genMlpPgdStep.

Instances For
Refuse a net certProduct cannot bound. The check is by shape and init kind only: it refuses
any parameter of rank other than 1, 2 or 4, and any of init kind 1 (mkParam's constant-one
init, which is how a BN or LayerNorm γ starts). The product skips every rank-1 parameter, so a
scale it does not catch this way (another init kind) would still make it return a number that
is no bound; today's callers, the BN-free MNIST and CIFAR CNNs, have none.

Instances For
The conv-aware certificate product over a packed parameter list: convLip for each
[o,i,kh,kw] kernel, denseLip for each [d0,d1] weight, biases skipped. Returns the
product of the bounds (the certificate's L), the product of the estimates, and a per-layer
bound (estimate) line. Sound only for nets requireCertModelled accepts.

Instances For
Generic conv-net PGD attack. Trains any packed conv net on its proof-rendered SGD step,
then runs PGD with genKernel: a hand-typed StableHLO kernel that computes the
input gradient dx (conv input-VJPs and maxpool select_and_scatter backs, following the
backward ops of the net's <slug>_train_step.mlir); no theorem ties the kernel's text.
Certificate = the conv-aware product of per-layer upper bounds (convLip for convs ×
denseLip for denses; ReLU and the disjoint 2×2 max-pools are 1-Lipschitz) —
astronomically loose, the depth-cliff. genKernel and net.slug select the architecture
(genCnnPgdStep/MNIST-CNN, genCifarPgdStep/CIFAR-CNN).

Equations

Instances For
Spectral-norm-constrained training of the verified MNIST CNN. The CNN sibling of attackPgdSpectralMlp:
projected SGD toward the spectral ball — every projEvery proof-rendered steps (and once at
the end) projectSpectral caps the dense ‖Wᵢ‖₂ estimate and the conv tap-sum bound at c —
then the cert ≤ TRUE ≤ PGD sandwich (PGD via genKernel, cert = the conv-aware product).
Harder than the MLP: it's a k-layer product and the conv tap-sum is a loose bound, so
projection over-penalizes the convs — the cert needs a tighter c (and pays more clean accuracy)
than the MLP did, and certifies only at smaller radii. The honest "depth + loose conv-norm ⇒
certifying the conv net is harder." Generic over genKernel/net.slug (MNIST-CNN, CIFAR-CNN).

PGD adversarial attack on the verified linear classifier. Trains via the proof-rendered

by genLinearPgdStep, a hand-typed StableHLO kernel that follows the formula
dx = (softmax−onehot)·Wᵀ (no theorem ties the kernel's text). Reports clean vs L∞-PGD adversarial accuracy over an eps sweep.
