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.

A solution with only H1 time regularity loses CN second order

Example

In the scalar evolution triple V=H=V∗=R, use a(x,y)=xy, T=1, exact solution u(t)=t3/4, and load f(t)=u′(t)+u(t). Apply Crank–Nicolson with exact interval-average load, uniform step τ=1/N, and U0=u(0)=0. Then the first nodal error is e1=τ7/414(1+τ/2). Thus the maximum nodal error is not O(τ2) although the exact solution belongs to H1(0,1) and the load belongs to L2(0,1), as assumed by the method. The H2 time regularity in the Crank–Nicolson theorem is a real condition.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: V=H=V∗=R with the identity embeddings, the form a(x,y)=xy, the function u(t)=t3/4, its load f=u′+u, and the Crank–Nicolson algorithm with interval-average forcing.

[F1]

Crank–Nicolson uses the average of the endpoint states in the autonomous form and the interval-average load (Crank–Nicolson and cG(1) for an autonomous parabolic form).

[F2]

A form is bounded and coercive when ∣a(x,y)∣≤M∥x∥∥y∥ and a(x,x)≥α∥x∥2 (Bounded, coercive and symmetric sesquilinear forms).

[F3]

An evolution triple uses dense continuous embeddings and identifies H with its dual in the canonical way (Evolution triples and the parabolic energy space).

Verification

1.1F2F3givenalgebra

Here a(x,y)=xy has M=α=1. The derivative is u′(t)=34t−1/4 and ∫01∣u′(t)∣2dt=916∫01t−1/2dt=98<∞; also u∈L2(0,1), so u∈H1(0,1) and f=u′+u∈L2(0,1). But u′′(t)=−316t−5/4 has nonintegrable square near zero, so u∉H2(0,1).

1.2F1givenalgebra

The exact equation integrated over (0,τ) is u(τ)−u(0)τ+1τ∫0τu(t)dt=1τ∫0τf(t)dt. The first CN step from [F1] is U1−U0τ+U1+U02=1τ∫0τf(t)dt. Subtract, use U0=u(0)=0, and set e1=U1−u(τ). This gives e1(1τ+12)=1τ∫0τt3/4dt−τ3/42=(47−12)τ3/4=114τ3/4.

2.1step 1.2algebra∎

Solving the scalar equation in step 1.2 yields e1=τ7/4/(14(1+τ/2)). Along τ=1/N→0, ∣e1∣/τ2=τ−1/4/(14(1+τ/2))→∞; the maximum nodal error is at least ∣e1∣, so it cannot be O(τ2).
