How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Finite-depth adaptive Simpson with an indicator

Definition

Input a<b, an absolute indicator tolerance τ>0, a remaining depth D∈N and a positive panel-call budget P∈N, and a deterministic evaluation routine Eval⁡ that returns a finite real value at a requested node or reports failure. It reports failure when a required node cannot be evaluated, including when its midpoint is unrepresentable in the evaluator's arithmetic. Apply the exact-real Simpson formulas of Composite Simpson rule on an even uniform grid to the returned values; floating-point rounding accuracy is not asserted.

Define the recursive call A(u,v,d,p,t) for u<v, d≥0, p≥1 and t>0 as follows.

  1. Compute m=(u+v)/2 and the five values of Eval⁡ at u,(3u+v)/4,m,(u+3v)/4,v. On failure, return failure with no estimate.
  2. Compute S0=QS(f;u,v,2) and S1=QS(f;u,v,4) from the two nested grids of Embedded Simpson refinement indicator, and put η=η2(f;u,v)=∣S1−S0∣/15.
  3. If η≤t, return (accepted, estimate S1, indicator η).
  4. If η>t and either d=0 or p<3, return (cap-reached, estimate S1, indicator η).
  5. Otherwise put pL=⌊(p−1)/2⌋ and pR=⌈(p−1)/2⌉. Recursively call A(u,m,d−1,pL,t/2) and A(m,v,d−1,pR,t/2). If either returns failure, return failure. Otherwise return the sum of their estimates and indicators, with status cap-reached if either child has that status and accepted otherwise.

The public call is A(a,b,D,P,τ). The budget counts recursive panel calls; each call uses at most five point evaluations. accepted means that the returned leaf indicators sum to at most τ. Neither that status nor the indicator is a certified true-error statement. A cap result is an estimate with explicit cap-reached status, not a successful tolerance claim.

Dependency tree · two levels

3 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
