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 tangent and adjoint pairing gives the ODE gradient boundary identity
Statement
Let , let and satisfy and , where are continuous and have compatible dimensions. Then
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , the continuously differentiable matrix and vector functions and their differential equations in the Statement.
The Euclidean pairing is the finite coordinate sum (The Euclidean inner product on ).
The derivative of a product is (Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: , , , and when ).
If and is integrable on , then (The second fundamental theorem: if is differentiable on with and is integrable, then ).
Proof
For each column , write . By [F2] coordinatewise, . Substituting the two equations and collecting the columns gives , because .
For each column , the scalar function is , and the th component of the right-hand side in step 1.1 is continuous and hence integrable. Apply [F3] to each scalar component on ; collecting these identities gives the stated row-vector endpoint identity.
Depends on
- The Euclidean inner product $\langle x,y\rangle = \sum_{k<n} x_k y_k$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$
- Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: $(f+g)'(c) = f'(c) + g'(c)$, $(\alpha f)'(c) = \alpha f'(c)$, $(fg)'(c) = f'(c)g(c) + f(c)g'(c)$, and $(f/g)'(c) = \bigl(f'(c)g(c) - f(c)g'(c)\bigr)/g(c)^{2}$ when $g(c) \ne 0$
- The second fundamental theorem: if $G$ is differentiable on $[a,b]$ with $G' = f$ and $f$ is integrable, then $\int_a^b f = G(b)-G(a)$

Dependency tree · two levels
33 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.
