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-chaos coefficients group by variable support
Example
Let be independent symmetric two-point inputs on , and take the full degree-one tensor index set . Its basis is For the exact finite expansion , the coefficients are , , , and . The variance is , with , , , and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Independent symmetric two-point inputs, the full degree-one tensor index set, and the exact finite expansion in the Example.
Finite product-law polynomial-chaos input data: finite independent real inputs use their product law and a finite admissible degree box; the degree condition alone asserts no polynomial completeness.
Positive moment Gram matrices produce orthonormal polynomial families: for the symmetric two-point law with cutoff one, the orthonormal degree-one polynomials are and .
Finite orthonormal polynomial tensor basis: a finite tensor basis consists of products of the univariate polynomials over a declared finite multi-index set.
Product-coordinate averaging operators: averages over coordinates outside and lifts the result to the full product space.
Independent product inputs have an orthogonal Hoeffding decomposition: coordinate averages define components that reconstruct , are orthogonal, and contribute their squared norms to the variance.
First-order and total Sobol indices: first and total indices divide variance-component sums by positive total variance.
Moments, variance, and covariance on a probability space: variance is the expected square of the output after subtracting its mean.
Verification
Given: The finite product law, index set and exact expansion of the Example.
Each coordinate has mean zero and second moment one, so its degree-one monomial Gram matrix is the identity. The construction [F2] therefore gives and , whose products in [F3] are the four displayed functions. On the four equiprobable outcomes , their value vectors are , , , and . These vectors are pairwise orthogonal and each has squared length four, so under weights the functions are orthonormal. Four independent functions on a four-point support form a basis of its four-dimensional space.
The functions in step 1.1 are linearly independent, so the exact expansion has unique coefficients: , , , and . The centered output is . Orthogonality gives by [F7]. The exact displayed finite expansion needs no infinite Parseval assertion.
Product averaging [F4] and give , , and . The component definition in [F5] yields , , and . Their variance contributions are because , matching the coefficient sums grouped by support.
Dividing these components by according to [F6] gives , , , and . The family is complete here by the finite four-point argument in step 1.1. Finite cutoff and positive moment Gram hypotheses alone do not imply completeness for a general input law.
Remarks
This example's full degree-one basis is complete because its input support has four points. In general the finite cutoff and positive moment Gram hypotheses of UQ1 do not imply completeness; an infinite coefficient formula needs a separate law-specific completeness hypothesis.
