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.
Eigenvalue bounds from a left-inverse preconditioner
Statement
Let be symmetric positive definite on a finite-dimensional real vector space, and let , satisfy . Every eigenvalue of
lies in , where . When , set for its unique endomorphism. In that case forces , the spectrum of is empty, and the eigenvalue assertion is vacuous.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Finite-dimensional real spaces , a symmetric positive definite operator , linear maps and , and .
The energy form is positive for every nonzero , and is the identity on .
Proof
If , the identity forces and has no eigenvalues, so the assertion holds with the stated zero-space norm convention. Assume henceforth . Put , which is SPD because is injective (if , then ), and , which is SPD because is onto (it has right inverse ). Hence is similar to the symmetric positive definite matrix and has positive real eigenvalues. For an eigenvector with eigenvalue , let , so and .
By [A1], . Cauchy–Schwarz in the inner product gives . Dividing by the positive square gives .
Also . For the eigenvector, the left side is and step 1.1 makes the right side . Divide by the positive factor to obtain .
