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.

A smooth map can fail the tangential cone condition

Statement refuted

Every infinitely differentiable forward map between real Hilbert spaces satisfies a local tangential cone condition at each point of its domain with some radius δ>0 and some constant 0≤η<1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The standard real Hilbert line X=Y=R, the map F(t)=t2, basepoint x†=0, exact datum y=0, and a proposed local TCC radius δ>0 with constant 0≤η<1.

[F1]

The one-coordinate Euclidean inner product is ⟨s,t⟩=st, with induced Euclidean norm (The Euclidean inner product ⟨x,y⟩=∑k<nxkyk on Rn).

[F3]

Every Cauchy sequence of real numbers converges (The reals are complete).

[F4]

A real inner-product space complete in its induced norm is a real Hilbert space (Real and complex inner-product spaces and their induced length, Hilbert space).

[F5]

A Fréchet derivative is a bounded linear map whose remainder divided by the increment norm tends to zero (Fréchet derivative between Banach spaces).

[F6]

The local TCC at 0 would require ∣F(h)−F(0)−F′(0)h∣≤η∣F(h)−F(0)∣ whenever ∣h∣≤δ (Local tangential cone condition).

Identify R with the one-coordinate Euclidean space R1 by its sole coordinate; [F1] gives inner product st and [F2] gives norm ∣t∣. Every Cauchy sequence for this norm converges by [F3], so [F4] makes R a real Hilbert space. The polynomial F(t)=t2 is infinitely differentiable; moreover ∣F(h)−F(0)−0h∣/∣h∣=∣h∣→0 as h→0, so [F5] gives F′(0)=0.

2.1givenF6choosealgebra∎

Since δ>0, choose h=δ/2, which is nonzero and satisfies ∣h∣≤δ. Substitution in [F6] gives h2≤ηh2, hence 1≤η after division by h2>0, contradicting η<1. Therefore no such TCC radius and constant exist.
