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.

A smooth residual can vanish at every collocation point and remain nonzero in population loss

Example

On U=(0,1) take the residual operator L[h]=h′, target f=0, boundary operator given by endpoint restriction, and boundary data g=0. For each integer m≥2, set hm(x)=1−cos⁡(2πmx)2πm. At the residual collocation points xj=j/m for 1≤j<m, the residual L[hm](xj) is zero; the exact endpoint values are also zero. Nevertheless, for uniform population measure, the population residual loss is ∫01∣L[hm](x)∣2dx=1/2. This example concerns unregularized sparse collocation and does not claim that hm minimizes the regularized objective.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The operator, data, collocation set, and trial functions in the Example.

[F1]

The derivative of hm is hm′(x)=sin⁡(2πmx).

[F2]

For every positive integer m, ∫01sin⁡2(2πmx)dx=1/2, by sin⁡2z=(1−cos⁡(2z))/2 and direct integration.

Verification

Proof strategy: evaluate the derivative at the grid points and integrate its square.

1.1givenF1algebra

Differentiating the displayed formula gives [F1]. At xj=j/m, hm′(xj)=sin⁡(2πj)=0. Also hm(0)=hm(1)=0 since cos⁡(0)=cos⁡(2πm)=1. Thus the empirical residual and exact boundary errors vanish.

2.1step 1.1F2algebra∎

The population residual loss is ∫01∣hm′(x)∣2dx=1/2 by [F2]. Therefore exact collocation fit at these sample points does not by itself force the population residual loss to be small.
