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.
Reordering a conditional basis expansion can destroy convergence
Statement refuted
Every rearrangement of every convergent Schauder basis expansion converges.
Facts & Assumptions
For , let have initial coordinates equal to one and all remaining coordinates equal to zero. Then is a conditional Schauder basis of (The summing basis of c0 is conditional).
Convergence of every rearrangement is equivalent to unconditional convergence (Equivalent forms of unconditional convergence).
Counterexample
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the Statement.
Put with , and for put
For , the th coordinate of is . Hence
Thus the original fixed-order series converges to . [L1, telescoping]
The odd-indexed terms have positive first coordinate , whose sum [given, step 1.1] diverges, while the even-indexed terms have negative first coordinate and the sum of their absolute first coordinates diverges. Also . Starting at zero, take consecutive unused odd terms until the first coordinate exceeds , then consecutive unused even terms until it is below , and repeat. Each stage ends after finitely many terms because the corresponding signed tail diverges.
Infinitely many stages of each parity occur, and each stage consumes at [given, L2, step 2.1] least one term in that parity's original order. Consequently every odd and every even term is eventually used exactly once, so the procedure defines a permutation of . The first coordinates of its partial sums exceed and fall below infinitely often, so the rearranged vector series diverges. Step 1.1 gives convergence in the original order, thereby refuting the statement and, consistently with [L2], witnessing failure of unconditional convergence.
