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.

Complex sine and cosine are unbounded on the complex plane

Statement

Neither $\sin : C \to C$ nor $\cos : C \to C$ is bounded.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A positive real variable $y$ .

[L1]

For every complex $z$ , $\sinh z = - i \sin (i z)$ and $\cosh z = \cos (i z)$ (The exponential formulas, real restrictions, and trigonometric-hyperbolic dictionary over $C$ ).

[L2]

For real $y$ , the complex exponential equals the real exponential, and $\exp (y) \to + \infty$ while $\exp (- y) \to 0$ as $y \to + \infty$ ( $\exp (z + w) = \exp z \exp w$ , and the complex exponential extends the real exponential, The exponential tends to $+ \infty$ at $+ \infty$ and to $0$ at $- \infty$ ).

[L3]

The definitions give $\sinh y = (\exp y - \exp (- y)) / 2$ and $\cosh y = (\exp y + \exp (- y)) / 2$ (Complex sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine, and hyperbolic cosine from the complex exponential).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1

Substituting the real $y$ into [L1] gives $\sin (i y) = i \sinh y$ and $\cos (i y) = \cosh y$ .

L1algebra

1.2

By [L2] and [L3], both positive real quantities $\sinh y$ and $\cosh y$ tend to $+ \infty$ as $y \to + \infty$ .

L2L3algebra

2.1

Hence $∣ \sin (i y) ∣ = \sinh y$ and $∣ \cos (i y) ∣ = \cosh y$ are unbounded along the imaginary axis, so both complex functions are unbounded.
