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.

Forward Euler's stability region restricts both decay rate and frequency

Facts & Assumptions

Given: λ=−ρ+iω with ρ>0, ω∈R, and a step size h>0.

[F1]

Forward Euler has the closed unit disk centered at −1 as its absolute-stability region: forward Euler is absolutely stable exactly when ∣1+hλ∣≤1.

Example

For this decaying oscillatory scalar mode, forward Euler is absolutely stable exactly when h≤2ρ/(ρ2+ω2). Thus a large oscillation frequency reduces the allowed step even when the real decay rate ρ is fixed.

Verification

1.1givenalgebra

Set z=hλ=−hρ+ihω. Then ∣1+z∣2=(1−hρ)2+(hω)2=1−2hρ+h2(ρ2+ω2).

2.1F1step 1.1algebra∎

By [F1], stability is equivalent to the last expression being at most one. Since h>0 and ρ2+ω2>0, this is equivalent to h(ρ2+ω2)≤2ρ, or h≤2ρ/(ρ2+ω2).

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.
