| contents | We present a formalization in Lean of the core interior De Giorgi--Nash--Moser theory for uniformly elliptic divergence-form equations with bounded measurable coefficients. The formalized results include local boundedness of weak subsolutions, the weak Harnack inequality for positive weak supersolutions, Moser's Harnack inequality for positive weak solutions, and interior Hölder regularity. This is, to our knowledge, the first machine-checked formalization of a major theorem in modern PDE theory. The development also required substantial new infrastructure for Sobolev spaces on bounded domains, weak solutions of elliptic equations, and quantitative regularity estimates. More broadly, it suggests that large-scale autoformalization of hard analysis in Lean is now within reach. |
