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 x>0, integers N≥1 and 0≤n<N, and define the exact backward recurrence solution by uN+1=0, uN=1, and uj−1=2juj/x−uj+1 for j=N,N−1,…,1. If DN+1(x)≠0, put q=−JN+1(x)/DN+1(x). For s∈{0,1} such that Js(x)+qDs(x)≠0, let J^n=Js(x)un/us. Then

J^n−Jn=q(JsDn−JnDs)Js+qDs.

This is a finite-N identity. It makes no assertion that the error tends to zero as N→∞.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: x,N,n,s as above; the sequences J,D; and the terminal recurrence sequence u.

[F1]

Positive discrete Wronskian for the Bessel recurrence pair: J,D are linearly independent solutions of the same second-order recurrence.

[F2]

Bessel differential equations and order recurrences from the series: Jj+1=2jJj/x−Jj−1 for j≥1.

Proof

1.1givenF1F2F3algebra

The sequence J+qD obeys the recurrence by [F2] and [F3], and its value at N+1 is JN+1+qDN+1=0. Its value at N 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 1 on J. Therefore (J+qD)/(JN+qDN) has the terminal values uN+1=0,uN=1. Uniqueness of the finite backward recurrence gives uj=(Jj+qDj)/(JN+qDN) for 0≤j≤N.

2.1givenstep 1.1algebra∎

Taking the ratio of the formulas for j=n and j=s yields un/us=(Jn+qDn)/(Js+qDs). Since the denominator is nonzero, J^n−Jn=JsJn+qDnJs+qDs−Jn=q(JsDn−JnDs)Js+qDs. Every equality uses this single fixed terminal index N; no limit in N was taken.
