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.

One-dimensional periodic CIC deposition and adjoint potential gather

Statement

Take L=1, N=5, h=1/5, and one particle of charge q=2 at X=h/3. Define the one-dimensional cloud-in-cell (CIC) weights by wj(x)=max⁡{1−dL(x,xj)/h,0}, where dL(x,xj)=min⁡k∈Z∣x−xj+kL∣ is the periodic distance. The only nonzero weights at X are w0(X)=2/3 and w1(X)=1/3. The deposited density before neutralization is (20/3,10/3,0,0,0), and subtracting the uniform background Q/L=2 gives ρ=(14/3,4/3,−2,−2,−2),h∑j=04ρj=0. For every grid potential ϕ, the adjoint identity is ⟨ρ,ϕ⟩h=2(23ϕ0+13ϕ1)−2ϕˉ.

The diagram shows the local CIC stencil between nodes 0 and 1; indices on the full grid are understood modulo 5.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The five-node periodic grid, a particle of charge 2 at h/3, the CIC weights, and the assignment/gather conventions.

[F1]

Periodic uniform PIC grid and inner product: ⟨u,v⟩h=h∑jujvj and vˉ=L−1⟨v,1⟩h.

[F2]

Periodic PIC deposition shape and gather operators: ρj+=h−1qwj(X), ρj=ρj+−Q/L, and (GXϕ)=∑jwj(X)ϕj.

[F3]

Periodic PIC deposition conserves charge and satisfies Poisson compatibility: normalized assignment conserves total charge and the neutralized source has zero mean.

[F4]

Periodic PIC deposition and potential gather are adjoint: ⟨ρ,ϕ⟩h=∑pqp(GXϕ)p−Qϕˉ.

[F5]

Periodic PIC deposition shape and gather operators: an algebraic assignment shape need only be nonnegative and sum to one; smoothness is an additional condition for the smooth fixed-ε branch.

Proof

1.1F1F2givenalgebra

Since h−1=5, the two nonzero assigned densities are 5⋅2⋅(2/3)=20/3 and 5⋅2⋅(1/3)=10/3. The background is Q/L=2, so the neutralized values are 14/3,4/3,−2,−2,−2; their sum is 6−6=0, hence their cell-weighted sum is zero.

1.2F2givenalgebra

For any point in a periodic cell [xj,xj+1], with its right endpoint interpreted modulo L, the CIC formula gives wj=(xj+1−x)/h and wj+1=(x−xj)/h; all other weights vanish. Both are nonnegative and sum to one. At a grid node this reduces to the single weight one. Hence the stated CIC family is a nonnegative normalized assignment shape.

2.1F1F2F3F4step 1.1step 1.2algebra

The pre-neutralized cell-weighted sum is h(20/3+10/3)=2, verifying charge conservation directly; [F3] also applies because step 1.2 proves the shape partition. By [F4], the potential pairing equals 2(23ϕ0+13ϕ1)−2ϕˉ. Since ϕˉ=15∑j=04ϕj, the formula includes exactly the contribution of the uniform background.

3.1F5algebra∎

Near node x0=0, the periodic distance formula gives w0(x)=1+x/h for −h<x<0 and w0(x)=1−x/h for 0<x<h. The one-sided derivatives at the node are 1/h and −1/h, so the CIC weight is continuous but not differentiable at this grid crossing. Therefore CIC regularity alone does not supply the C4 vector-field hypothesis of the RK4 error theorem; the page's time-error claim uses the separate smooth fixed-ε branch.
