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.

Two-node Gauss collocation gives the exact endpoint for a nonstiff cubic IVP

Example

Assume Countable Choice for the Lebesgue moment data. On one step [0,1], take the scalar IVP y′=t3, y(0)=0. The field is independent of the state, so its state Lipschitz constant is zero; the example has no stiffness from a state-dependent fast mode.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The two-node Gauss rule for Lebesgue measure on [0,1] and the IVP in the Example.

[F1]

The m-node Gaussian quadrature rule for a positive measure and Gaussian quadrature is exact through degree 2m−1 and has positive weights: the two-node Gauss rule integrates every polynomial of degree at most three exactly.

[F2]

Collocation tableau from distinct quadrature nodes: the collocation endpoint is y(0)+∑j=12bjcj3 for this step, and its stages are finite because the right-hand side is independent of stage state.

[F4]

Lebesgue measure on the unit interval supplies Gaussian moment data: Lebesgue measure on [0,1] supplies the required order-four two-node moment data under Countable Choice; these data also satisfy the order-three branch used for exactness.

[F5]

The m-node Gaussian quadrature rule for a positive measure and Collocation tableau from distinct quadrature nodes: Gaussian weights and collocation weights are integrals of the same cardinal polynomials, so [F3] identifies them.

[F6]

First-order systems, initial value problems, and solutions on intervals: the exact IVP solution satisfies y′=t3 and y(0)=0.

Verification

The integrand s3 has degree three, so [F1] gives ∑j=12wjcj3=∫01s3dλ. The matching of weights in [F5] and agreement with the Riemann integral in [F3] give ∑j=12bjcj3=∫01s3ds. The stages solve Ui=∑jQijcj3 and are well-defined finite real numbers because f does not depend on U. The rule data are valid by [F4] and the axiom premise in the Example.

The IVP identity [F6] and the scalar FTC [F3] give y(s)=s4/4, hence y(1)=1/4. Step 1.1 gives the same collocation endpoint, so the one-step endpoint is exact despite the fact that the collocation polynomial need not equal the exact path at interior points.
