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 certified projection variational residual bounds the projection error

Statement

Let d∈N, including d=0. Let C⊆Rd be nonempty, closed, and convex. If y∈Rd, ε≥0, and p∈C satisfy sup⁡z∈C⟨y−p,z−p⟩≤ε2, then ∥p−PC(y)∥2≤ε.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The set C, input y, tolerance ε, and feasible candidate p in the Statement.

[F1]

For d≥1, Every point has a unique nearest point in a nonempty closed Euclidean convex set supplies the unique nearest point q=PC(y)∈C; Metric projection onto a closed convex set satisfies the variational inequality gives ⟨y−q,z−q⟩≤0 for every z∈C.

[F2]

The Euclidean inner product ⟨x,y⟩=∑k<nxkyk on Rn: R0={0} and its Euclidean norm and inner product are zero.

Proof

1.1F2given

If d=0, then C={0}, y=p=PC(y)=0, and the residual supremum is 0≤ε2; the asserted distance is 0≤ε.

1.2F1givenalgebra

Now assume d≥1. Put q=PC(y) and d0=p−q. The residual bound at z=q gives ⟨y−p,d0⟩≥−ε2. By [F1] with z=p, ⟨y−q,d0⟩≤0. Since y−q=(y−p)+d0, this also gives ⟨y−p,d0⟩+∥d0∥22≤0.

2.1step 1.2givenalgebra∎

Combining the two bounds yields ∥d0∥22≤ε2. Both sides are nonnegative, so ∥p−PC(y)∥2=∥d0∥2≤ε. This also covers ε=0.

21 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.
