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.

An infeasible Phase I problem and its Farkas certificate

Example

Consider x1=1, x2=1, and −x1−x2+x3=−3 with x1,x2,x3≥0. The equality matrix has full row rank.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A=[100010−1−11], b=(1,1,−3)T, and x≥0.

[F1]

Phase I revised simplex and rank reduction: Add artificial variables u∈Rm and solve the Phase I problem min⁡1Tu subject to A~x+u=b~, x,u≥0, starting at x=0,u=b~ with artificial basis Im.

[F2]

Phase I feasible-basis extraction and infeasibility certificate: If its minimum artificial-variable sum is positive, its returned vector yields a Farkas certificate ATq≥0, bTq<0, so the original system is infeasible.

Verification

1.1givenF1algebra

The third right-hand side is negative, so D=diag⁡(1,1,−1) gives A~=DA=[10001011−1] and b~=Db=(1,1,3)T. The Phase I point x=(1,1,0), u=(0,0,1) satisfies A~x+u=b~ and has objective 1.

1.2givenF1algebra

The Phase I dual vector y=(−1,−1,1) satisfies A~Ty=(0,0,−1)T≤0 and b~Ty=1. For any Phase I feasible (x,u), its objective 1Tu is at least b~Ty=1 by multiplying the constraints by y and using A~Ty≤0, u≥0, and y≤1. Thus the displayed feasible point attains the Phase I optimum 1>0.

The original Farkas vector is q=−DTy=(1,1,1). Direct calculation gives ATq=(0,0,1)T≥0 and bTq=1+1−3=−1<0. Hence no x≥0 can satisfy Ax=b, as also follows from [F2].

Dependency tree · two levels

7 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.
