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.
Recovering a Jordan form from shifted power ranks at two eigenvalues
Example
Let . Its shifted-power ranks are Their second differences recover one size-three block at and one size-two block at . Accordingly
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The displayed block diagonal matrix .
The exact-size block count at is (Ranks of shifted powers determine Jordan form up to block order).
Jordan block sizes give the characteristic and minimal polynomials by total and maximum exponents, respectively (For split operators, Jordan blocks read off eigenspace multiplicities and both canonical polynomials).
Verification
At , the summand stays invertible while the ranks of powers of are , giving . At , the summand stays invertible while the nilpotent part of has ranks , giving .
Applying [L1] gives one exact size-three block at , one exact size-two block at , and zero other blocks; [L2] then gives both displayed polynomials.
