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.

Polynomial addition and multiplication computed from coefficient convolution

Example

In Z[x], let f=1+2x+3x2 and g=2−x. Then

f+g=3+x+3x2,fg=2+3x+4x2−3x3.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The integer polynomials f=1+2x+3x2 and g=2−x.

[L1]

Polynomial addition is coefficientwise, and the coefficient of xn in a product is the finite convolution sum ∑i+j=naibj (The polynomial ring over a commutative ring as finitely supported coefficient sequences with convolution).

[L2]

The integers form a commutative ring (The integers form a commutative ring).

Verification

1.1

Coefficientwise addition over the commutative ring [L2] gives the coefficients (1+2,2−1,3+0)=(3,1,3).

2.1

Convolution gives coefficients 2, −1+4=3, −2+6=4, and −3 in degrees 0,1,2,3, respectively, proving the displayed product.

Dependency tree · two levels

15 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.
