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 exponential definitions of complex sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine, and hyperbolic cosine equal their entire power series

Statement

For every z∈C, sin⁡z=∑n≥0(−1)nz2n+1(2n+1)!,cos⁡z=∑n≥0(−1)nz2n(2n)!, sinh⁡z=∑n≥0z2n+1(2n+1)!,cosh⁡z=∑n≥0z2n(2n)!. All four series have infinite radius.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A complex number z.

[L1]

The complex exponential is defined by the series exp⁡z=∑n≥0zn/n!, the cited Definition recording that convergence for every z∈C is discharged elsewhere (The complex exponential by its power series).

[L2]

Sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine, and hyperbolic cosine are the symmetric and antisymmetric exponential combinations displayed in their definition (Complex sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine, and hyperbolic cosine from the complex exponential).

[L3]

Every absolutely convergent complex series may be rearranged without changing its sum (Every absolutely convergent complex series converges, and rearrangements preserve its sum).

[L4]

If L=lim sup⁡k→∞∣ck+1∣1/(k+1), Cauchy–Hadamard gives radius +∞ when L=0 (Cauchy-Hadamard for complex power series, including zero and infinite radius).

[L5]

For every z∈C the series ∑zn/n! converges absolutely (The complex exponential series converges absolutely for every complex argument).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1L1L2L3L5

Substitute the series [L1] at z,−z,iz,−iz into [L2]. Absolute convergence, which [L5] supplies for every complex argument, allows [L3] to separate the even and odd indices.

2.1step 1.1algebra

The identities i2n=(−1)n and i2n+1=i(−1)n simplify those even and odd parts to the four displayed series.

3.1step 2.1L4∎

Their factorial coefficients have root limsup 0: for n≥2 the factorial satisfies n!≥(n/2)⌊n/2⌋, since at least ⌊n/2⌋ of the factors 1,…,n are at least n/2, so (1/n!)1/n≤(2/n)⌊n/2⌋/n→0. Hence [L4] gives infinite radius. The constant terms are retained in the even series and absent from the odd series.

19 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.
