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.
Grid Fourier stability alone does not instantiate Lax equivalence
Example
For periodic upwind updates at fixed , every individual grid family is power stable in its grid norm. The family on the varying spaces is not, as stated, an instance of the common-space Lax theorem.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The periodic upwind updates on for varying , with fixed .
A common-space time-scheme family consists of bounded maps on one Banach space (Common Banach-space interface for a linear IVP and its time schemes).
Consistency, stability, and convergence in that interface use the same norm of (Common Banach-space interface for a linear IVP and its time schemes).
Under Dependent Choice, a consistent scheme in that common-space interface is convergent on finite time intervals if and only if it is stable there (Lax equivalence for a common Banach-space scheme).
For each N-point periodic grid, the upwind update is power stable when (Scheme-specific periodic power stability for scalar advection).
Dependent Choice is the axiom assumed by [F3] (The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain).
Verification
By [F4], each N-point upwind update has for all when .
The declared operators have domains and codomains , which vary with N; no fixed Banach space or projection/reconstruction lift is supplied in this example. Thus they do not meet [F1]'s fixed-space interface, and no same-space norm for comparing their errors is supplied under [F2].
The theorem [F3] has the common-space interface and consistency among its hypotheses. Since step 1.2 shows that this example supplies no such interface, the grid power bounds alone do not imply convergence by [F3]. A separate common-space lift and its norm/consistency checks would be needed; this example makes no claim that such a lift cannot be constructed.

Dependency tree · two levels
28 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.
