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.

Inside its radius a real power series may be differentiated term by term, and the differentiated series has the same radius: a power series can be differentiated term by term inside its radius.
Inside the common radius the product of two power-series sums is represented by the Cauchy product of their coefficients: the product of two power-series sums has the Cauchy-product coefficients inside their common radius.
Proof
For any finite disjoint interval family , Given , choosing verifies absolute continuity by [F7]. For almost every , by [F8], so ; therefore the Caputo derivative is defined by [F1].
By [F8], for ; at the one-sided difference quotient is , so . Thus [F1] gives where the substitution and [F3]–[F4] give the last two equalities. Thus the stated makes an exact solution, and .
Put , so . Starting from the geometric series [F10] and differentiating termwise by [F11] gives . Multiplying this generating series by and using [F12] shows that the discrete Caputo derivative of the exact nodal values is , with from [F5]. The exact derivative from step 2.1 is .
Therefore the residual satisfies by [F5].
Subtracting the exact equation from the CQ recurrence, the error has and satisfies . Apply [F6] and step 4.1 to obtain The coefficient of depends only on and , proving the result.
