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.
Mixed shock–rarefaction wave curves are continuously differentiable
Statement
Under the hypotheses of Mixed local wave curve for a genuinely nonlinear or linearly degenerate family, the map is near , with and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The local rarefaction and shock curves, their parameterizations, and the mixed-curve convention.
Local characteristic rarefaction curve: and ; its dependence on is locally.
Local shock curve by an augmented Rankine–Hugoniot equation: , , and the shock curve is jointly in base state and strength locally.
Mixed local wave curve for a genuinely nonlinear or linearly degenerate family: the two branches are joined at ; a linearly-degenerate family uses only .
Proof
For a linearly-degenerate family, [F1] directly gives the claim. For a genuinely nonlinear family, each branch in [F3] is on its closed half-neighborhood by [F1] and [F2]. At both values equal , both state derivatives equal the identity, and both strength derivatives equal .
At a boundary point , the first-order expansions of either branch are for state increment ; the remainder is uniform over the two branches because there are only two and each is . Thus the joined function is differentiable there with derivative . The branch derivatives tend to this common derivative as , so the joined derivative is continuous.
The derivatives and values just obtained prove regularity and the asserted value and strength derivative at zero.

Dependency tree · two levels
11 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.
