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 finite FAS V/W cycle terminates with bounded stated work

Statement

Consider an invocation of Finite-budget recursive nonlinear FAS V/W cycle on levels 0,…,J, where the base solver uses at most B0<∞ counted operations, every nonlinear smoother update and residual evaluation returns in finite work, and every transfer and correction is a finite-dimensional map evaluation. The invocation terminates with one of its declared statuses. If Wj is the maximum counted work of a level-j invocation, then W0≤B0,Wj≤Cj+γjWj−1(1≤j≤J), where Cj is the finite work of that level's pre-smoothing, residual and transfer evaluations, correction, post-smoothing, and status/diagnostic bookkeeping. This recurrence counts the actual nonlinear smoother, coarse-solve, and returned-diagnostic work; it implies no blanket O(nJ) estimate.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A finite hierarchy, finite pre/post sweep counts, γj∈{1,2}, a finite base-solver budget, and terminating individual function, transfer, smoother, and correction evaluations.

[F1]

Finite-budget recursive nonlinear FAS V/W cycle: recursion decreases the level, the base solver has budget B0, and a level-j cycle has finite pre/post loops and makes γj recursive calls.

[A1]

At a level j>0, assume the claimed termination and work bound for level j−1.

Proof

technique · induction
1.1givenF1base

At level 0, the procedure makes one base-solver call with at most B0 update calls. Each residual evaluation and status check terminates by the given operational assumptions, so the base invocation returns a declared status and W0≤B0.

1.2givenF1A1ihalgebra

A level-j invocation performs its finite pre-smoothing sweeps, one residual and restriction evaluation, and at most γj calls at level j−1. By [A1], each such call terminates with work at most Wj−1. Recording each returned status, residual, and nested diagnostic list is finite work included in Cj. If any call fails, the algorithm returns immediately; otherwise it performs one finite prolongation/correction and its finite post-smoothing sweeps. Thus every branch terminates and its work is at most Cj+γjWj−1.

Induction from level 0 through the finite maximum level J proves termination and the displayed recurrence for every invocation. Early failure only shortens the corresponding counted work.
