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.

The standard compactly supported bump on the line

Example

Define $ρ (t) : = \exp (- 1 / (1 - t^{2}))$ for $∣ t ∣ < 1$ and $ρ (t) : = 0$ for $∣ t ∣ \geq 1$ . Then $ρ$ is smooth on $R$ , is positive on $(- 1, 1)$ , and has support $[- 1, 1]$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The displayed function $ρ$ .

[L1]

The standard flat function is smooth and all of its derivatives vanish at the junction point (The standard flat function is smooth and flat at zero).

[A1]

On $(- 1, 1)$ one has $ρ (t) = β (1 - t^{2})$ .

Verification

technique · direct

1.1

On $(- 1, 1)$ the function is the composite from [A1], and on $∣ t ∣ \geq 1$ it is identically zero.

A1L1

2.1

At $t = \pm 1$ , the inner variable $1 - t^{2}$ tends to $0^{+}$ , so [L1] shows that all derivatives from the inside tend to $0$ and match the outer zero branch.

Therefore $ρ$ is smooth, positive on $(- 1, 1)$ , and supported on $[- 1, 1]$ .

Dependency tree · two levels

6 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.
