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.
Unaliased fixed-grid spectral bias under the exact no-alias condition
Statement
Assume the model and AC/DC of Spectral alias identity for fixed regular-grid sampling. Fix , and put modulo . Suppose the pointwise periodized sum has a bounded torus representative continuous at , agreeing with that sum at . Use the kernel and bandwidths of Vanishing bias of a smoothed regular-grid spatial periodogram. Define the physically normalized estimates at by Then the smoother is defined eventually and both expectations converge to In particular, both have vanishing bias for the unaliased value if and only if This exact pointwise condition does not restrict the general aliased-target theorem. A sufficient global condition is that is continuous and supported in a compact subset of the open Nyquist cube , with in that cube. No variance, consistency or CLT conclusion is asserted.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The fixed-spacing continuous-space model, a bounded periodized density representative continuous at the target and agreeing there with its sum, the kernel/bandwidth assumptions, and AC/DC.
Spectral alias identity for fixed regular-grid sampling: is the torus density of the sampled field and its pointwise sum is .
Vanishing bias of a smoothed regular-grid spatial periodogram: for a bounded torus density continuous at the chosen target, both raw and smoothed periodogram expectations converge to that density value; smoothing denominators are eventually positive.
Regular-grid spatial periodogram and smoothed estimator: the normalized Fourier-grid smoother is the specified finite nonnegative weighted sum of angular periodogram ordinates.
The Axiom of Choice and The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain: AC and DC are inherited through the lattice spectral representation and its bias theorem.
Proof
By [F1] the sampled field has torus density , and the assumed representative meets all hypotheses of [F2]. Thus the denominator in [F3] is eventually positive and both angular expectations tend to . Multiplying by and reindexing the convergent nonnegative sum at the target gives . This proves the general aliased limit for both physically normalized estimates.
Every alias summand is nonnegative. Therefore is zero if and only if every summand is zero. This proves both directions of the stated exact condition. Under the sufficient global condition, only the central translate is nonzero for frequencies in the Nyquist cube; its support stays away from the boundary. Hence the periodic density is bounded and continuous across the boundary as well, and has no noncentral alias at the stated target. All hypotheses and the exact condition are then verified.
