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 A:V→V′ be symmetric positive definite on a finite-dimensional real vector space, and let L:V→U, T:U→V satisfy LT=IU. Every eigenvalue of

G=(LA−1LT)(TTAT)

lies in [1,∥TL∥A2], where ∥Q∥A:=sup⁡v≠0⟨AQv,Qv⟩/⟨Av,v⟩. When V={0}, set ∥Q∥A=0 for its unique endomorphism. In that case LT=IU forces U={0}, the spectrum of G is empty, and the eigenvalue assertion is vacuous.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Finite-dimensional real spaces V,U, a symmetric positive definite operator A:V→V′, linear maps L:V→U and T:U→V, and LT=IU.

[A1]

The energy form ⟨Av,v⟩ is positive for every nonzero v∈V, and LT is the identity on U.

Proof

1.1givenA1algebra

If V={0}, the identity LT=IU forces U={0} and G has no eigenvalues, so the assertion holds with the stated zero-space norm convention. Assume henceforth V≠{0}. Put D=TTAT, which is SPD because T is injective (if Tu=0, then u=LTu=0), and C=LA−1LT, which is SPD because L is onto (it has right inverse T). Hence G=CD is similar to the symmetric positive definite matrix D1/2CD1/2 and has positive real eigenvalues. For an eigenvector u≠0 with eigenvalue λ, let w=A−1LTDu, so Lw=Gu=λu and ∥w∥A2=⟨Du,Gu⟩=λ⟨Du,u⟩.

2.1givenA1step 1.1algebra

By [A1], ⟨Du,u⟩=⟨Du,LTu⟩=⟨Aw,Tu⟩. Cauchy–Schwarz in the A inner product gives ⟨Du,u⟩2≤∥w∥A2∥Tu∥A2=λ⟨Du,u⟩2. Dividing by the positive square gives λ≥1.

Also ∥Gu∥D2=∥TLw∥A2≤∥TL∥A2∥w∥A2. For the eigenvector, the left side is λ2⟨Du,u⟩ and step 1.1 makes the right side ∥TL∥A2λ⟨Du,u⟩. Divide by the positive factor to obtain λ≤∥TL∥A2.
