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 stiff reversible two-compartment transfer
Example
Take state domain and two compartments with transfers and , all other transfers zero. This is a stiff reversible conservative system: its fast difference mode has decay rate . Starting from and taking , verify one modified Patankar Euler step and the finite column-generator convention.
Verification
Given: The transfer rates in the Example, the positive input , and step .
[F1] Finite conservative production destruction systems: the PDS equations are with .
[F2] Modified Patankar Euler for conservative transfer systems: for positive input and denominators , the step solves the transfer-weighted linear system.
[F3] Modified Patankar Euler preserves positivity and total mass: that solve is positive and preserves the sum.
[F4] Finite column generator: a finite column generator has nonnegative off-diagonal entries and each column sums to zero; column is the source state.
The rates satisfy and , so [F1] gives and . In the state order the coefficient matrix is ; its off-diagonal entries are nonnegative and both column sums are zero, so it is a finite column generator under [F4].
With and , [F2] gives . The determinant is , and direct elimination gives and . Both coordinates are positive and their sum is , as also predicted by [F3].
For total mass and , the continuous first coordinate obeys with equilibrium . The one-step formula in step 1.2 satisfies ; for this positive damping factor is although . This verifies the large-rate damping for the specified example without inferring a general stability theorem.

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.
