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.
Local characteristic rarefaction curve
Definition
On a neighborhood where an eigenvector field is , the local -rarefaction curve through is the unique local solution The parameter is the signed integral-curve parameter for the chosen normalization of . Existence on a common small interval for nearby follows from Nearby initial values share one Picard–Lindelöf time interval and one state cylinder; the flow on a compact local tube follows from A vector field has a flow on a common compact tube. No global integral curve is asserted.

Dependency tree · two levels
19 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.
