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 topology-free bounded lifting of every ultraweak Poisson load
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and the real spaces and signs of Ultraweak Poisson DPG spaces and plan-consistent bilinear form. For every bounded connected Lipschitz polyhedron , , and every finite conforming shape-regular simplicial mesh, give the squared product norm from its two factors and two global trace lift-infimum norms, and give its full broken graph norm. Define by . There is a bounded linear map such that and . Choose any with for , put , and set The constant is independent of the mesh. No simple-connectivity or connected-boundary hypothesis is imposed.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, the stated domain and mesh, the real ultraweak spaces and bilinear form, a Poincaré constant , and an arbitrary .
Countable Choice is the stated axiom for the real Hilbert, Riesz, trace and Lax–Milgram interfaces. (The Axiom of Countable Choice ())
The formulation fixes the real product spaces, the global trace ranges with lift-infimum norms, and all five signs in . (Ultraweak Poisson DPG spaces and plan-consistent bilinear form, Ultraweak Poisson skeleton spaces are Hilbert trace quotients)
The finite broken products of and are real Hilbert spaces, and is a real Hilbert space with its restricted inner product. (H(div) is Hilbert and H0(div) is closed, The Sobolev space is a Hilbert space)
On a real Hilbert space, Riesz represents every bounded linear functional by a unique vector and preserves its norm. (Riesz representation for Hilbert spaces)
A bounded coercive real bilinear form on a real Hilbert space has a unique solution for every bounded linear right-hand side under Countable Choice. (The Lax--Milgram theorem)
For bounded open , homogeneous Dirichlet Poincaré gives on ; a coordinate-slab width supplies such a constant. (A bounded-domain Poincare inequality for H1-zero fields)
The weak normal trace of a global field is defined by the cell Green functional, and an vector with distributional divergence belongs to . (Weak normal trace by Green duality, The real H(div) space)
The DPG form is bounded on the full trial and broken-test spaces by , so is a well-defined bounded element of for every . (The ultraweak Poisson DPG bilinear form is bounded)
Proof
By [F7], given by is well defined and bounded. By [F2] and [F3], there is a unique such that Set , , , and , viewed as global classes by the finite mesh partition. If , then .
On use the form . It is bounded in the norm, and [F5] gives . The functional is bounded, since its absolute value is at most . Thus [F4] gives a unique satisfying Testing with and using Cauchy–Schwarz yields , including the case ; hence .
Set , , and . For every , step 2.1 gives , so distributionally and . Set and , using the elementwise scalar and weak normal traces. Since and is one global field, these traces lie in the exact global ranges of [F1], with homogeneous scalar boundary trace and conservative normal trace. Define .
Cell Green identities give and . Substitution into the five signed terms of the form gives Therefore .
From steps 1.1–3.1, , , , and , since and . Adding the four squared product components gives . Riesz and the unique weak solve depend linearly on (a linear combination solves the combined variational equation, and uniqueness identifies it), and the remaining field and trace maps are linear; hence is linear. Only enters the bound, so it is mesh-independent.
