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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: An exact first-order initial-value problem, the stated one-step map and tube, and the local-defect, stability, and initial-error bounds.
A solution of a first-order system satisfies and on its interval (First-order systems, initial value problems, and solutions on intervals).
For a one-step map, the local defect is the difference between its exact-start output and the exact next state; uniform local order bounds its norm by , and one-step Lipschitz stability bounds changes in the output by times the input change (One-step ODE methods, local defect, uniform order, and step stability).
The Euclidean norm on satisfies (Cauchy-Schwarz with its equality case, the triangle inequality for , the parallelogram law and polarisation).
is the real exponential defined by its factorial power series, with (The real exponential function and the number by a power series).
For and with , the finite recurrence has the two bounds stated in this item's conclusion (Finite geometric error bound from a one-step recurrence).
The one-step map is defined on each stated time fiber, the entire exact path, numerical grid states and method stages remain in , and its uniform local defect and fiberwise stability inequalities in the Statement hold.
Proof
By [F1], each is a defined reference state of the exact initial-value problem; [F2] identifies the two uniform inequalities in [A1] as the one-step stability and local-defect bounds. Put . The Euclidean triangle inequality [F3] and those bounds give .
Apply [L1] to the nonnegative sequence using the recurrence from step 1.1 and the initial bound in [A1]. The two cases and give exactly the displayed conclusions, with exponential notation as in [F4].
