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.
Nonnegative row weights for the diagonal-diffusion HJB stencil
Statement
Under the two inequalities in Explicit monotone diagonal-diffusion Bellman grid update, every fixed-control row of its explicit update is an affine combination of the center and the two coordinate neighbors with nonnegative coefficients summing to one, plus . Therefore the max over controls is order-preserving.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Positive diagonal coefficients , drift coefficients , mesh widths , and time step satisfying the diffusion- dominance and explicit CFL conditions.
The scheme uses , the sign-selected , and the two inequalities and (Explicit monotone diagonal-diffusion Bellman grid update).
Proof
Fix and abbreviate , , and . If , the coefficient of in the update is and that of is . If , the coefficient of is and that of is . Each is nonnegative by in [F1].
The center coefficient is It is at least by [F1]. For each coordinate, the two neighbor coefficients sum to ; adding the center coefficient therefore gives one. Hence each fixed-control update is a convex combination plus its constant forcing.
A convex combination is order-preserving in its nodal inputs. The maximum of finitely many order-preserving control maps is order-preserving, proving the claim.
