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 zero tangent angle makes the bordered corrector singular

Example

For F(x,y)=x, the solution set is the vertical line x=0. A hyperplane normal perpendicular to its tangent does not define a regular local corrector.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: F:R2→R, F(x,y)=x, at (0,0).

[F1]

Invertibility and a norm bound for the pseudo-arclength bordered matrix: for a rank-one derivative with unit kernel tangent t, the bordered matrix [DF;τT] is invertible exactly when τTt≠0.

Verification

1.1givenalgebra

The derivative is DF(0,0)=[1 0], which has rank 1 and kernel span⁡{t} for the unit tangent t=(0,1).

2.1givenstep 1.1algebra

Take the unit hyperplane normal τ=(1,0). Then τTt=0 and [DF(0,0)τT]=[1010], whose rows are dependent and whose kernel contains t≠0.

By [F1], the bordered matrix is singular exactly at this failed angle; the inverse bound also cannot hold. This is the tangent-angle failure required by the continuation algorithm.

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.
