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 inflection point as a point of continuity where convexity changes to concavity or conversely

Definition

Let f:IRf:I\to\mathbb R and let cc be an interior point of the interval II. The point cc is an inflection point when ff is continuous at cc (Continuity of f:ARf : A \to \mathbb{R} at a point of AA and on AA: the ε\varepsilon-δ\delta condition, its agreement with limxcf(x)=f(c)\lim_{x \to c} f(x) = f(c) at a limit point, and continuity at an isolated point) and there is some δ>0\delta>0 such that, in either order, ff is convex but not concave on I(cδ,c)I\cap(c-\delta,c) and concave but not convex on I(c,c+δ)I\cap(c,c+\delta) (Convex, strictly convex, concave, strictly concave, and midpoint-convex real functions on an interval).

Remarks

The condition f(c)=0f''(c)=0, even when defined, is neither part of this definition nor sufficient by itself: a change of shape is required.
