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 Toeplitz matrix has lower-shift displacement rank at most two
Statement
Let be any square Toeplitz matrix, and let be the lower shift of Lower-shift displacement rank and generator pairs. With and , Consequently, its displacement rank is at most two. A width-two generator is
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A square Toeplitz matrix , its first diagonal entry , and the lower shift .
The lower-shift displacement is , and a generator is a factorization . Lower-shift displacement rank and generator pairs
Toeplitz entries satisfy for zero-based indices. Toeplitz, circulant, and finite-index conventions for structured solvers
Matrix multiplication is defined by the finite entry sums. Rectangular matrix multiplication and the identity matrix , including zero-sized shapes
Proof
For , by [F2]. If or , the corresponding entry of is zero because the first row of and the first column of are zero. Thus agrees with on its first row and first column and is zero in the interior. The displayed expression has exactly these entries: its first row is , its first column is , and its entry is .
The factorization in the statement multiplies to the displayed expression from step 1.1. It has two columns, so the rank of is at most two by the definition of rank and a product through .
