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.

Action–angle coordinates for the harmonic oscillator

Example

For the oscillator H=(p2+Ω2q2)/2 with Ω>0, remove the equilibrium. With a radian angle ϕR/(2πZ),

q=2JΩsinϕ,p=2JΩcosϕ,J=HΩ.

Then ω=dϕdJ. In the page's period-one convention, θ=ϕ/(2π) and I=2πJ=2πH/Ω are action–angle coordinates.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The standard form dqdp and positive frequency Ω.

[F1]

Period-one action–angle coordinates satisfy ω=dθdI. Action and angle coordinates.

1.1

Differentiating the displayed substitution gives dqdp=dϕdJ; its Jacobian coefficient is cos2ϕ+sin2ϕ=1. Also direct substitution gives H=ΩJ.

2.1

Since dθdI=(dϕ/(2π))(2πdJ)=dϕdJ, [F1] applies. Moreover H=ΩI/(2π), so the library Hamiltonian convention gives θ˙=Ω/(2π), equivalently ϕ˙=Ω. Thus the displayed substitution explicitly supplies the action–angle coordinates. If angle has period 2π instead, the corresponding action is J=H/Ω; the factor 2π is purely normalization.

2 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.
