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.
Global continuous-flow log-density error from state and quadrature bounds
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and the hypotheses of A continuous flow changes log density by minus its divergence. Let , and suppose a numerical state method and scalar quadrature satisfy the hypotheses of Global divergence-integral error separates state and quadrature error, with numerical initial value satisfying . Then the numerical scalar values approximate the actual flow log densities and with the constants and orders from that theorem.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, a C¹ flow of diffeomorphisms with positive initial density, and numerical state and quadrature updates satisfying the separate error hypotheses.
Countable Choice is assumed only for the change-of-variables step that identifies the flow density (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
Along the flow, (A continuous flow changes log density by minus its divergence).
For the divergence integrand and numerical updates in the Statement, the grid error is at most (Global divergence-integral error separates state and quadrature error).
A solution of the scalar initial-value problem satisfies (A first-order initial value problem is equivalent to its Volterra integral equation).
Proof
By [F1], the exact log density along the trajectory solves the scalar IVP with . Applying [F3] on each step shows that its increment from to is exactly , so the exact scalar grid sequence in [F2] is .
Apply [F2] to the numerical state and scalar updates. The exact grid sequence is the log density by step 1.1, so the stated bound is precisely the numerical log-density error.
