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 residual and spectral gap bound a Gaussian weight error
Statement
Let be moment data. Put . Let be the real symmetric Jacobi matrix of The Jacobi matrix spectrum is the set of Gauss nodes, with distinct eigenvalues and Gaussian weights of Gaussian weights equal the total mass times a Jacobi eigenvector's first-coordinate square. Fix , a nonzero vector , a real number , and . Suppose and For ,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Moment data, a real symmetric with distinct ordered eigenvalues, its th Gaussian weight, and a nonzero candidate vector and shift satisfying the stated residual and gap bounds.
Real spectral theorem: a self-adjoint endomorphism of a finite-dimensional real inner product space has an orthonormal eigenbasis: has an orthonormal eigenbasis with .
Gaussian weights equal the total mass times a Jacobi eigenvector's first-coordinate square: for a unit eigenvector at .
The Euclidean inner product on : on , and each summand is nonnegative.
Proof
Normalize . Then . Expand in the orthonormal basis [F1]. Then Thus .
Put if and otherwise. Since and are unit vectors, .
By [F4], and , since all coordinate squares are nonnegative. Hence . Therefore
Since , multiply step 3.1 by from [F2] and use [F3]. The result is the claimed Gaussian weight bound.
