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.
A stable coupled model has an unstable explicit fast microstep
Example
Consider , from . Its exact solution for arbitrary initial data is It tends to zero as , so the continuous linear system is asymptotically stable, meaning every solution tends to the origin. Apply Frozen-slow explicit Euler with fast microsteps with , , and . The method gives , , and . At fixed frozen , a fast-coordinate perturbation is multiplied per microstep by , whose magnitude exceeds one; the exact homogeneous fast perturbation instead decays.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The linear vector field, initial data, macro step, and microstep count specified above.
The assigned algorithm updates the slow coordinate once by explicit Euler and then performs fast Euler updates using the original frozen slow state (Frozen-slow explicit Euler with fast microsteps).
The exponential satisfies and , has derivative , is increasing, and obeys for (The real exponential function and the number by a power series, The exponential addition formula , The exponential function is strictly increasing, The exponential function is smooth and , for every real , hence ).
In this example and .
Proof
Differentiating the displayed formula with [F2] gives and , and at it gives the arbitrary initial pair . Thus it is the exact solution. For , [F2] gives and , while the addition formula gives and . Therefore and . Given , both bounds are below whenever , so both exponentials and then both solution components tend to zero.
By [F1] and [A1], . The fast updates use frozen , so and . Subtracting two fast recurrences with the same frozen gives . The exact homogeneous fast equation has solution by [F2]. Since , its reciprocal lies in , so the exact homogeneous multiplier decays.
Step 1.1 directly shows every exact solution tends to zero, whereas step 1.2 gives an expanding fast perturbation in each explicit microstep. The successful step costs one and two evaluations, which by itself makes no wall-clock speedup claim.
Depends on
- Frozen-slow explicit Euler with fast microsteps
- The real exponential function and the number $e$ by a power series
- The exponential addition formula $\exp(x+y)=\exp(x)\exp(y)$
- The exponential function is strictly increasing
- The exponential function is smooth and $(\exp)'=\exp$
- $1+x\le\exp(x)$ for every real $x$, hence $(1-p)^m\le\exp(-mp)$
