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 clustered point set makes tree depth enter the work
Example
This example shows why the operation theorem records tree depth, node count, and list counts explicitly. In the square , place two distinct unit charges at and for an integer , and refine a dyadic quadtree until every leaf has occupancy at most .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The dyadic square partition, the two distinct points above, leaf occupancy , and the per-node passes of the planar FMM.
Finite planar quadtree and separated interaction lists: dyadic bisection halves every cell side length, and the level-restricted linear-size hypothesis explicitly bounds the number of nonempty cells by a constant times .
Fixed-order planar Laplace fast multipole procedure: the upward and downward passes visit every nonempty leaf and every parent-child edge whose two cells are nonempty.
Planar FMM operation count under explicit linear-size tree and list bounds: the conclusion requires .
Verification
At depth the cell along the corner path containing has side length . For every , , so both and lie in that same cell; at the next split the second point is on the midpoint boundary and is assigned to the upper child, while is assigned to the lower child. Therefore the tree has a nonempty path through depth and at least nonempty cells, although .
With fixed , is constant as varies, whereas [F2] makes the passes visit at least the nonempty parent-child edges on the path from step 1.1. This family violates the uniform node bound required in [F3], so the theorem's hypotheses do not give a uniform bound over arbitrarily clustered inputs.

Dependency tree · two levels
4 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.
