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.

Rankine–Hugoniot jumps and Lax shocks

Definition

For a system as in Strictly hyperbolic conservation systems and characteristic families, a discontinuity with constant states uL,uR∈G and speed s∈R is a Rankine–Hugoniot jump if f(uR)−f(uL)=s(uR−uL). For a system strictly hyperbolic on N⊆G, states uL,uR∈N, and 1≤i≤m, it is a strict Lax i-shock if it is a Rankine–Hugoniot jump and λj(uL)<s (j<i),λi(uR)<s<λi(uL),s<λj(uR) (j>i). An empty family of inequalities is omitted. A linearly-degenerate contact has equal i-speeds on both sides, so it is not a strict Lax shock.

Dependency tree · two levels

3 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.
