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.

Simple pendulum phase portrait

Example

Assume ACω. On TS1 consider the normalized pendulum

H(q,p)=p22+1cosq.

For 0<E<2 its energy curve describes oscillation; for E>2 its two components describe rotations in opposite directions; and E=2 is the singular separatrix through the unstable equilibrium.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: q is taken modulo 2π and pR.

[F1]

Hamilton's equations give q˙=p and p˙=sinq. Hamilton equations in canonical cotangent coordinates.

Verification

technique · cases
1.1

The level equation is p2=2(E1+cosq). Its critical points solve p=0 and sinq=0: (0,0) is a minimum of energy 0, while (π,0) is a saddle of energy 2.

2.1

Assume 0<E<2. The allowed angles form a proper interval about q=0; the positive and negative square-root branches meet at two turning points p=0, producing a closed oscillatory curve. By [F1], the sign of p is the direction of angular travel and reverses at those endpoints.

2.2

Assume E>2. The right-hand side is strictly positive for every q. The two graphs p=±2(E1+cosq) are disjoint circles over S1, and [F1] gives rotation with fixed sign.

2.3

Assume E=2. The two branches meet at the saddle and form the homoclinic separatrix; the level is singular and is not a regular Liouville torus.

Finally E=0 gives only the stable equilibrium, while E<0 gives the empty level because H0. These alternatives and steps 2.1--2.3 exhaust all energies.

Dependency tree · two levels

9 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.
