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 DARE doubling recurrence composes two Riccati steps and preserves positive semidefiniteness

Statement

For Hermitian G,H⪰0, define ΦG(X)=X(I+GX)−1 and f(X)=H+A∗ΦG(X)A on X⪰0. One step of the exact inverse recurrence in Finite-budget structure-preserving doubling iteration for the DARE is well-defined, preserves Gj,Hj⪰0, and its updated triple satisfies f∘f(X)=H1+A1∗X(I+G1X)−1A1, where A1=A(I+GH)−1A,G1=G+A(I+GH)−1GA∗,H1=H+A∗H(I+GH)−1A. Consequently, starting from (A,G,H), the exact recurrence satisfies Hj=f2j(0) after j updates. These claims concern exact arithmetic; the rounded branch has only its separately reported diagnostics.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Finite matrices A and Hermitian positive-semidefinite G,H over F∈{R,C}.

[F1]

Finite-budget structure-preserving doubling iteration for the DARE: the exact-mode update formulas are A1=A(I+GH)−1A, G1=G+A(I+GH)−1GA∗, and H1=H+A∗H(I+GH)−1A.

[F2]

Standard CARE and DARE data, equations, and conventions: for G=BR−1B∗, the DARE map is X↦Q+A∗X(I+GX)−1A.

[F3]

A non-negative operator has a unique non-negative square root: a positive-semidefinite matrix has a positive-semidefinite square root.

Proof

1.1F1F3algebra

If (I+GH)v=0, then multiplication by v∗H gives v∗Hv+(Hv)∗G(Hv)=0. Both terms are nonnegative, so Hv=0 and then v=0. Thus I+GH is invertible; the same argument applies to I+HG. The identities (I+GH)−1G=G(I+HG)−1=G1/2(I+G1/2HG1/2)−1G1/2, H(I+GH)−1=(I+HG)−1H=H1/2(I+H1/2GH1/2)−1H1/2 follow by multiplication and the push-through identity. Their middle matrices are positive definite, so both displayed products are Hermitian positive semidefinite. Therefore the updates in [F1] give G1,H1⪰0 and use only an inverse already proved to exist.

1.2F1F2algebra

For any invertible displayed factors, direct multiplication gives the resolvent identity ΦG(X)−ΦG(Y)=(I+XG)−1(X−Y)(I+GY)−1, and the push-through identity (I+UV)−1U=U(I+VU)−1. For X≻0, ΦG(X)−1=X−1+G. Put U=ΦG(X) and Y=A∗UA. Applying the resolvent identity at H+Y and H gives ΦG(H+Y)−ΦG(H)=(I+(H+Y)G)−1Y(I+GH)−1. Since I+(H+Y)G=(I+HG)+YG, multiplication verifies (I+(H+Y)G)−1Y=(I+HG)−1Y(I+G(I+HG)−1Y)−1. Substituting Y=A∗UA and applying push-through twice rewrites this difference as (I+HG)−1A∗(U−1+AG(I+HG)−1A∗)−1A(I+GH)−1. Using U−1=X−1+G and [F1], the middle inverse is X(I+G1X)−1. Now f(f(X))−H1=A∗(ΦG(H+Y)−ΦG(H))A. Its left factor is A∗(I+HG)−1A∗=A1∗ and its right factor is A(I+GH)−1A=A1. Adding H1=H+A∗ΦG(H)A proves the composition formula for X≻0.

For singular X⪰0, replace it by X+εI in step 1.2 and let ε↓0. Step 1.1 guarantees every I+G(X+εI) and I+G1(X+εI) is invertible; matrix inversion is continuous at these invertible limits. Hence the composition identity extends to every X⪰0, including singular A and singular X. By induction on j, the updated Riccati map is f2j and its value at zero is Hj.
