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.
An almost-Lipschitz vector field has a unique solution through zero but is not locally Lipschitz there
Statement refuted
Local Lipschitz continuity is necessary for uniqueness through an initial point. Define and, for ,
with any continuous extension outside that interval. An almost-Lipschitz vector field has a unique solution through zero but is not locally Lipschitz there.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The displayed field and the zero IVP , .
The Osgood divergence condition gives uniqueness of solutions through the same initial value (Osgood's criterion gives uniqueness without a Lipschitz bound).
An Osgood modulus is positive away from zero, nondecreasing, and has a divergent reciprocal integral at zero (Moduli of continuity and the Osgood divergence condition).
Counterexample
The quotient is unbounded as by [L2], so is not locally Lipschitz at zero.
Define for with , and put on . Differentiation using [L2] shows that is increasing and concave on this interval. On one side of zero, concavity with gives ; on opposite sides, and monotonicity gives . Since is the odd extension of near zero, is therefore a state modulus there. It has the properties in [L3], and the substitution gives its reciprocal divergence, so [L1] makes the zero solution unique through the origin.

22 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.
