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.
Positive NURBS weights do not imply an admissible patch
Statement
On , take degree-one tensor Bernstein functions in each coordinate, all four weights equal to one, and control net The resulting positive-weight bilinear NURBS map is . Its Jacobian vanishes at , changes sign across that line, and the map is not injective; hence positive weights alone do not give an admissible patch.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The degree-one tensor Bernstein basis, the four control points and unit weights in the Statement.
Tensor-product NURBS patch maps and rational spline spaces defines as the rational weighted sum of its control points and requires global injectivity and positive cell Jacobian for admissibility.
Positive weights give a bounded partition-of-unity NURBS basis: unit weights yield denominator one and nonnegative basis functions summing to one.
Proof
The degree-one Bernstein functions are and . With all weights one, [F2] gives , so the tensor rational basis is the ordinary bilinear basis. Its first component is and its second component is .
Differentiation gives Thus the Jacobian is zero on , positive for , and negative for . Moreover, with distinct parameter points. These violate two separate admissibility requirements in [F1] despite all weights being positive.
