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.
Exact finite terminal-contamination error identity
Statement
Fix , integers and , and define the exact backward recurrence solution by , , and for . If , put . For such that , let . Then
This is a finite- identity. It makes no assertion that the error tends to zero as .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: as above; the sequences ; and the terminal recurrence sequence .
Positive discrete Wronskian for the Bessel recurrence pair: are linearly independent solutions of the same second-order recurrence.
Complementary solution for the integer Bessel recurrence: obeys the same recurrence.
Proof
The sequence obeys the recurrence by [F2] and [F3], and its value at is . Its value at is nonzero: if it too were zero, backward recurrence would make it zero at every index, contradicting the linear independence in [F1] and its coefficient on . Therefore has the terminal values . Uniqueness of the finite backward recurrence gives for .
Taking the ratio of the formulas for and yields . Since the denominator is nonzero, Every equality uses this single fixed terminal index ; no limit in was taken.

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.
