**THE FRAMEWORK:** let us consider a real topological vector space $V$. We denote with $\mathscr C_k(V)$ the set of all continous functions $f:[0,T]^k\to V$ such that $f_{t_1\cdots t_k}=0$ whenever $t_i=t_{i+1}$ for some $0\le i\le k-1$. We define the operator $\delta_k:\mathscr C_k(V)\to\mathscr C_{k+1}(V)$ as follows: $$ (\delta_kf)_{t_1\cdots t_{k+1}}:=\sum_{j=1}^{k+1}(-1)^jf_{t_1\cdots \widehat t_{j}\cdots t_{k+1}} $$ where the hat $\widehat{\cdot}$ means that argument is omitted. So if $f\in\mathscr C_1(V)$ then $(\delta_1f)_{ts}=f_t-f_s$ and if $g\in\mathscr C_2(V)$ then $(\delta_2g)_{tus}=-g_{us}+g_{ts}-g_{tu}$. Next we define the following norms: if $g\in\mathscr C_2(V)$ then, for $\mu>1$ we set $$ \|g\|_{\mu}:=\sup_{0\le s<t\le T}\frac{|g_{st}|}{|t-s|^{\mu}} $$ while for $h\in\mathscr C_3(V)$ we first set $$ \|h\|_{\mu,\rho}:=\sup_{0\le s<t\le T}\frac{|h_{tus}|}{|t-u|^{\rho}|u-s|^{\mu-\rho}} $$ (here $0<\rho<\mu$) and then define the norm: $$ \|h\|_{\mu}:=\inf\left\{\sum_j\|h_j\|_{\rho_j,\mu-\rho_j}:h=\sum_jh_j,\; h_j\in\mathscr C_3,0<\rho_j<\mu\right\}\;. $$ Finally let us denote for $k=2,3$ $$ \mathscr C_k^{\mu}:=\{h\in\mathscr C_k:\|h\|_{\mu}<+\infty\}. $$ and accept that $$ \ker\delta_k=\operatorname{Im}\delta_{k-1} $$ (this holds for every $k$). **THE PROBLEM:** let us take $h\in\mathscr C_3^{\mu}$ such that $\delta_3h=0$. Then it is not difficult to prove that there exists $B\in\mathscr C_2$ such that $\delta_2B=h$. Now fix $0\le s<t\le T$ and consider on $[s,t]$ a sequence of partitions $\{\pi_n\}_n$ whose mash tends to zero. To fix ideas we write $$ \pi_n=\{s=r_0^n<r_1^n<\cdots<r_{k_n}^n<r_{k_n+1}^n=t\} $$ Define then $$ M_{ts}^{\pi_n}:=B_{ts}-\sum_{l=0}^{k_n}B_{r_{l+1}^nr_l^n}\;. $$ Now accept this last one converges (up to passing to a subsequence): how can we show that the limit does not depend on the particular sequence of partitions chosen? In the next minutes I'll write my attempt, however in the meanwhile I post my problem, so if someone has some good hint, I will thank you! PS: this is taken from a proof contained in the 2010 paper by [M.Gubinelli and S. Tindel ROUGH EVOLUTION EQUATIONS][1] at the end of page 9 (they say to see another paper, but I didn't found nothing on it!) **MY ATTEMPT:** let us take another sequence of partitions whose mash tends to zero, say $$ \sigma_n=\{s=u_0^n<u_1^n<\cdots<u_{h_n}^n<u_{h_n+1}^n=t\} $$ and prove that $$ |M_{ts}^{\pi_n}-M_{ts}^{\sigma_n}|\to0\;\;\;n\to+\infty. $$ Now \begin{align*} M_{ts}^{\pi_n}-M_{ts}^{\sigma_n} &=\sum_{l=0}^{h_n}B_{u_{l+1}^nr_l^n} -\sum_{l=0}^{k_n}B_{r_{l+1}^nr_l^n}\\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{k_n} \left(B_{t_{4l+4}^nt_{4l+2}^n}-B_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^n}- B_{t_{4l+4}^nt_{4l+3}^n}\right)- \left(B_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+3}^n}-B_{t_{4l+2}^nt_{4l+1}^n}- B_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^n}\right)\\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{k_n} (\delta_2B)_{t_{4l+4}^nt_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^n}- (\delta_2B)_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^nt_{4l+1}^n}\\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{k_n} h_{t_{4l+4}^nt_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^n}- h_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^nt_{4l+1}^n}\\ \end{align*} supposing wlog that $h_n\le k_n$ and setting, for $l\le h_n$ \begin{align*} t_{4l+1}^n&:=r_l^n\\ t_{4l+2}^n&:=u_l^n\\ t_{4l+3}^n&:=r_{l+1}^n\\ t_{4l+4}^n&:=u_{l+1}^n\\ \end{align*} while, for $l>h_n$ the definition of the odd terms stay the same, while $t_{4l+2}^n=t_{4l+4}^n:=t$. Then we can write \begin{align*} |M_{ts}^{\pi_n}-M_{ts}^{\sigma_n}| &\le\sum_{l=0}^{k_n} |h_{t_{4l+4}^nt_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^n}|+ |h_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^nt_{4l+1}^n}|\\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{k_n} \left|\sum_jh_{t_{4l+4}^nt_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^n}^j\right|+ \left|\sum_ih_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^nt_{4l+1}^n}^i\right|\\ &\le\sum_{l=0}^{k_n}\left[ \sum_j\left|h_{t_{4l+4}^nt_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^n}^j\right|+ \sum_i\left|h_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^nt_{4l+1}^n}^i\right|\right]\\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{k_n}\left[ \sum_j\left|\frac{h_{t_{4l+4}^nt_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^n}^j}{|t_{4l+3}^n-t_{4l+2}^n|^{\rho_j}|t_{4l+4}^n-t_{4l+3}^n|^{\mu-\rho_j}}\right| |t_{4l+3}^n-t_{4l+2}^n|^{\rho_j}|t_{4l+4}^n-t_{4l+3}^n|^{\mu-\rho_j}\right]\\ +& \left[ \sum_i\left|\frac{h_{t_{4l+3}^nt_{4l+2}^nt_{4l+1}^n}^i}{|t_{4l+2}^n-t_{4l+1}^n|^{\rho_i}|t_{4l+2}^n-t_{4l+2}^n|^{\mu-\rho_i}}\right| |t_{4l+2}^n-t_{4l+1}^n|^{\rho_i}|t_{4l+3}^n-t_{4l+2}^n|^{\mu-\rho_i}\right]\\ \end{align*} and since this is true for every $\{h^j\}_j,\{h^i\}_i\subset\mathscr C_3(V)$ such that $\sum_jh^j=\sum_ih^i=h$ and $0<\rho_j,\rho_i<\mu$, passing to the $\inf$ on these parameters, we get \begin{align*} |M_{ts}^{\pi_n}-M_{ts}^{\sigma_n}| \le \|h\|_{\mu}\left[\sum_{l=0}^{k_n}\left(\max\{|t_{4l+3}^n-t_{4l+2}^n|,|t_{4l+4}^n-t_{4l+3}^n|\}\right)^{\mu}\\ +\left(\max\{|t_{4l+2}^n-t_{4l+1}^n|,|t_{4l+3}^n-t_{4l+2}^n|\}\right)^{\mu}\right]. \end{align*} From this, I tried as follows: call $m_0=1$ and take $\pi_{m_0}$; then since the mash tends to zero, there exists $m_1>m_0$ such that $m_0$ elements of $\sigma_{m_1}$, call them $\widetilde{\sigma_{m_1}}:=\{u_{l_s}^{m_1}\}_{s=1}^{m_0}$ are closer as we want to the elements of $\pi_{m_0}$, say $|r_s^{m_0}-u_{j_s}^{m_1}|<\varepsilon_1$. We have to work on $\sigma_{m_1}$: there exists $m_2>m_1$ such that considering suitable elements of $\pi_{m_2}$, say $\widetilde{\pi_{m_2}}:=\{r_{j_s}^{m_2}\}_{s=1}^{m_1}$, we can approximate the elements of $\sigma_{m_1}$, say $|u_s^{m_i}-r_{j_s}^{m_2}|<\varepsilon_2$, and so on. Then I did the obvious: $$ M_{ts}^{\pi_{2\beta}}-M_{ts}^{\sigma_{2\beta+1}} =\left(M_{ts}^{\pi_{2\beta}}-M_{ts}^{\widetilde{\sigma_{2\beta+1}}}\right) +\left(M_{ts}^{\widetilde{\sigma_{2\beta+1}}}-M_{ts}^{\widetilde{\pi_{2(\beta+1)}}}\right) +\left(M_{ts}^{\widetilde{\pi_{2(\beta+1)}}}-M_{ts}^{\sigma_{2(\beta+1)-1}}\right)\;\;; $$ now the first and the last summand go to zero as $\beta\to+\infty$, but the second term doesn't a priori, since it is an approximation of the LHS. I thought that maybe there is a way to modify the $\widetilde{\pi}$ and $\widetilde{\sigma}$ and/or exploiting the absolute continuity of $M$ in oder to compare the LHS and the second term of RHS, and maybe writing something like $$ \left|M_{ts}^{\widetilde{\sigma_{2\beta+1}}}-M_{ts}^{\widetilde{\pi_{2(\beta+1)}}}\right| =a_{\beta}|M_{ts}^{\pi_{2\beta}}-M_{ts}^{\sigma_{2\beta+1}}| $$ for some $0<a_{\beta}<1$ such that $\limsup_{\beta\to+\infty}a_{\beta}<1$, thing that allow me to conclude, but for the moment I'm stuck.
