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.

Negative weights amplify sample perturbations in the nine-point Newton–Cotes rule

Example

For a sample vector s=(s0,…,s8)∈R9, write Q^8(s):=∑j=08wjsj. If a perturbed sample vector is s+δ with ∣δj∣≤ε, then ∣Q^8(s+δ)−Q^8(s)∣≤137144725ε. This constant is sharp and exceeds 2, the signed sum of the weights and the total weight of any positive rule exact on constants over [−1,1]. Independently, for f∈C10[−1,1] the quadrature error satisfies the Peano bound (∫−11∣K10(t)∣ dt)∥f(10)∥∞ of Peano remainder bound for the eight-panel rule.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A sample vector s∈R9, the nine weights of Q8, and real perturbations δ0,…,δ8 satisfying ∣δj∣≤ε.

[A1]

ε≥0 and ∣δj∣≤ε for each node.

[F1]

Closed Newton–Cotes rule on eight equal panels: the rule has weights with numerators (989,5888,−928,10496,−4540,10496,−928,5888,989) and common denominator 14175.

[F2]

Exact weights and degree-nine exactness of the eight-panel rule: these coefficients are the integrated cardinal weights and the rule is exact through degree 9.

[F3]

Peano remainder bound for the eight-panel rule: for f∈C10, its integral error is bounded by ∥K10∥1∥f(10)∥∞ with the stated explicit kernel.

Proof

1.1givenA1F1algebra

The positive weight numerators sum to 34746 and the absolute values of the negative numerators sum to 928+4540+928=6396. Thus ∑j∣wj∣=(34746+6396)/14175=41142/14175=13714/4725, while ∑jwj=2. The triangle inequality and [A1] give ∣Q^8(s+δ)−Q^8(s)∣=∣∑jwjδj∣≤ε∑j∣wj∣. Equality holds by taking δj=ε when wj>0 and δj=−ε when wj<0 (with either value when wj=0), so the bound is sharp.

2.1givenF2F3step 1.1∎

For any separately supplied f∈C10[−1,1], [F2] and [F3] bound its deterministic integration error as stated. That smooth-function bound does not remove the sample-perturbation amplification in step 1.1.
