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.
The WENO5 ideal linear weights reproduce quartics at the right face
Statement
Let , let , and let . For on the union of cells , let be the cell-average functionals in Finite-volume MUSCL, nodal ENO2 and WENO5 reconstruction conventions. Each candidate reproduces every polynomial of degree at most two exactly at . The ideal combination reproduces every polynomial of degree at most four and satisfies . Each candidate separately satisfies .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Uniform cell averages of a C5 function, the three candidate functionals and the ideal weights in Finite-volume MUSCL, nodal ENO2 and WENO5 reconstruction conventions.
Finite-volume MUSCL, nodal ENO2 and WENO5 reconstruction conventions: the candidate coefficient vectors, in order , are , , and ; the ideal weights are .
A uniform derivative bound gives a uniform Taylor remainder bound: if on the interval between a center and , the degree- Taylor polynomial at has remainder bounded by .
Proof
Combining the three coefficient vectors in [F1] gives .
For , the coefficient vector has dot products , , and with the average vectors , , and . For , has dot products , , and with , , and . For , has dot products , , and with , , and . After division by , each candidate exactly reproduces at the face. The degree-two Taylor polynomial at therefore cancels from . By [F2], the pointwise remainder on each stencil is bounded by , where ; averaging preserves this bound. The largest sum of absolute candidate coefficients is , giving .
Write . The vectors of cell averages of over the five cells, ordered from through , are respectively , , , , and . Direct multiplication gives dot products , , , , and with , respectively. Thus the functional in step 1.1 returns the value at for every polynomial of degree at most four.
Let be the degree-four Taylor polynomial of at and put on the stencil. By [F2], the cell-average remainder after subtracting has magnitude at most in each cell. Step 2.1 reproduces exactly, and the absolute coefficients of sum to . Therefore , as claimed.
