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.
The formal hyperbolic tangent series and the even series
Definition
Work in with the formal exponential and logarithm of Formal exponential, logarithm, and binomial powers over a commutative -algebra and the identities of Formal and are inverse homomorphisms and formal binomial powers obey the expected addition laws. Define the formal hyperbolic tangent and the formal area hyperbolic tangent by
The denominator has constant term , a unit of
, so the quotient is a well-defined power series by
A formal power series is a unit exactly when its constant coefficient is a unit; and the linear coefficient
of is . Substituting into the
defining quotient replaces the numerator by its negative and fixes the
denominator, so : is odd. Hence
is even with constant term , and
The displayed coefficients of are the normalisation recorded here; they are
verified in the inverse-series lemma following on this page, which is the
result named in justified_by.
The series is summable degreewise (Summable families of formal series are locally finite in every coefficient range), , and its linear coefficient is ; its coefficients are the evaluation of a family whose -th term has order , so no convergence question arises. The symbol used by the sources denotes exactly the element ; no analytic convergence, contour, or branch is involved. The residue calculus of Formal Laurent series , their order, derivative, and residue applies to because has order . No choice principle is used.

21 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.
