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 , where the base solver uses at most 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 is the maximum counted work of a level- invocation, then where 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 estimate.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite hierarchy, finite pre/post sweep counts, , a finite base-solver budget, and terminating individual function, transfer, smoother, and correction evaluations.
Finite-budget recursive nonlinear FAS V/W cycle: recursion decreases the level, the base solver has budget , and a level- cycle has finite pre/post loops and makes recursive calls.
At a level , assume the claimed termination and work bound for level .
Proof
At level , the procedure makes one base-solver call with at most update calls. Each residual evaluation and status check terminates by the given operational assumptions, so the base invocation returns a declared status and .
A level- invocation performs its finite pre-smoothing sweeps, one residual and restriction evaluation, and at most calls at level . By [A1], each such call terminates with work at most . Recording each returned status, residual, and nested diagnostic list is finite work included in . 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 .
Induction from level through the finite maximum level proves termination and the displayed recurrence for every invocation. Early failure only shortens the corresponding counted work.
