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 vector field along an ODE solution has an explicit derivative bound
Statement
Let , let be open, let have continuous first partial derivatives, and let solve on an open interval . Fix with such that for every . Suppose finite constants satisfy for all
Define and . Then is continuous on , differentiable on , and
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The open ODE domain, continuous first partial derivatives, solution on , and the displayed componentwise bounds.
First-order systems, initial value problems, and solutions on intervals: an IVP solution is differentiable, its graph lies in the open domain, and it satisfies .
If all partial derivatives exist on a neighbourhood and are continuous at a point, then the map is totally differentiable there with Jacobian derivative: continuous first partial derivatives give total differentiability with derivative matrix equal to the Jacobian.
Total differentiability gives a local increment bound and therefore continuity: total differentiability implies continuity.
The chain rule for total derivatives: : the derivative of a composition is the composition of the total derivatives.
Proof
By [F2]–[F3], is continuous on . Since , the derivative of is continuous on ; hence is continuously differentiable and the path has derivative .
For each , the component map is totally differentiable, so [F4] applied to gives the displayed derivative formula. The bounds give for every . Continuity of on follows from continuity of and .
Depends on
- First-order systems, initial value problems, and solutions on intervals
- If all partial derivatives exist on a neighbourhood and are continuous at a point, then the map is totally differentiable there with Jacobian derivative
- Total differentiability gives a local $O(\|h\|_2)$ increment bound and therefore continuity
- The chain rule for total derivatives: $D(g\circ f)(a)=Dg(f(a))\circ Df(a)$

18 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.
