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.

An interval matrix family can contain a singular member

Example

The real family

A={A(t)=(1tt1):−1≤t≤1}

is represented by the entrywise interval box with off-diagonal entries [−1,1]. It contains a singular matrix, and its natural Leibniz interval evaluation [0,2] does not certify uniform nonsingularity.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The interval family A displayed above.

[F1]

A determinant interval excluding zero is sufficient for nonsingularity; an interval containing zero without being exactly {0} yields no such assertion (An interval determinant excluding zero certifies nonsingularity and sign).

[F2]

A usable uniform residual certificate with defect q<1 would make every family member invertible (A uniform approximate inverse and residual enclose every linear solution).

Verification

1.1givenF1algebra

For each t∈[−1,1], det⁡A(t)=1−t2∈[0,1]. The direct interval product [−1,1]⋅[−1,1]=[−1,1] encloses t2, so the Leibniz interval expression 1−[−1,1]=[0,2] contains every determinant. At t=1, A(1)(1,−1)T=0 with a nonzero vector, so A(1) is singular. The interval [0,2] includes zero and is not {0}; [F1] therefore makes no uniform nonsingularity claim from this enclosure.

2.1givenF2step 1.1contradiction∎

If uniform residual data with q<1 existed for this whole family and any nonempty right-hand-side set, [F2] would make A(1) invertible. This contradicts the nonzero null vector just exhibited. Hence such a usable uniform residual certificate cannot hold for the family.
