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.

Harmonic oscillator and elliptic phase curves

Example

Assume ACω. For m,Ω>0, the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator

H(q,p)=p22m+mΩ2q22

has period 2π/Ω away from the equilibrium. Every positive-energy phase curve is the ellipse p2/(2mE)+mΩ2q2/(2E)=1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Positive m,Ω and canonical coordinates on TR.

[F1]

Hamilton's equations hold under the stated choice assumption. Hamilton equations in canonical cotangent coordinates.

1.1

By [F1], q˙=p/m and p˙=mΩ2q, hence q¨+Ω2q=0. Thus q(t)=Acos(Ωt)+Bsin(Ωt) and p(t)=mq˙(t). Every nonconstant solution has period 2π/Ω.

F1algebra
2.1

Conservation follows directly from ddtH=(p/m)p˙+mΩ2qq˙=0. Setting the constant value to E>0 and dividing its level equation by E gives the displayed ellipse. For E=0, positivity forces (q,p)=(0,0), the stationary equilibrium.

Dependency tree · two levels

9 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.
