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.

Formal residues satisfy integration by parts, logarithmic differentiation, and change of variables

Statement

Let K be a field. For f,gK((x)),

resx(Df)=0,resx((Df)g)=resx(fDg).

For nonzero f,

resx ⁣(Dff)=vx(f),

where the integer on the right acts by repeated addition and additive inverses in K. If, in addition, K contains Q and gxKx has nonzero linear coefficient, then, for every FK((x)) for which Fg is formed by Laurent substitution,

resx((Fg)Dg)=resx(F).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The hypotheses and notation of the statement above.

[F1]

Formal Laurent series have support bounded below, coefficientwise addition, finite convolution in each degree, least exponent vx, termwise derivative, and residue resx(f)=[x1]f (Formal Laurent series K((x)), their order, derivative, and residue).

[F2]

The formal derivative is additive, obeys the product rule, and satisfies D(fm)=mfm1Df for m1 while D(1)=0 (Formal differentiation is linear and satisfies product, power, quotient, chain, and coefficient-recovery laws).

[F3]

A formal power series is a unit exactly when its constant coefficient is a unit (A formal power series is a unit exactly when its constant coefficient is a unit).

Proof

technique · inspect Laurent monomials and leading terms
1.1

The same finite coefficient calculation as for power series gives D(fg)=(Df)g+fDg in K((x)). The coefficient of x1 in Df could only come from differentiating the constant term, and that contribution is 0. Applying this to the product rule gives integration by parts.

1.2

Write f=xmu, where m=vx(f) and uKx has nonzero constant coefficient. Then u is a unit by the unit criterion, and Df/f=mx1+Du/u. Since Du/uKx, it has no x1 coefficient. The residue is therefore m.

2.1

For the change of variables, linearity reduces the claim coefficientwise to F=xm. If m1, then gmDg=D(gm+1)/(m+1) and its residue is 0 by step 1.1; division is legitimate because K contains Q. If m=1, write g=xu with u(0)0; then g1Dg=x1+u1Du has residue 1 by step 1.2. Thus the residue equals that of xm in every case, and locally finite summation extends the identity to F.
