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.

Heun's quadratic dense output has local order two

Statement

Under the smoothness and bounded-derivative hypotheses of Local orders and leading estimator term for the Euler–Heun pair, for a fixed initial value and all sufficiently small h>0, sup⁡0≤θ≤1∥Pn(θ)−y(tn+θh)∥2≤Ch3 for a constant C independent of h and θ. Thus this continuous extension has local order two uniformly throughout the accepted step, with a defect separate from the endpoint defect.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Heun stage and dense-output formulas, the smooth vector field and bounded derivatives from Local orders and leading estimator term for the Euler–Heun pair, and 0≤θ≤1.

[F1]

Quadratic continuous extension for Heun's method and Euler–Heun embedded Runge–Kutta pair: Pn(θ)=yn+h(θK1+12θ2(K2−K1)), and YH−YE=h2(K2−K1).

[F2]

Local orders and leading estimator term for the Euler–Heun pair: uniformly for 0≤θ≤1, y(tn+θh)=yn+θhK1+12θ2h2g+O(h3) and YH−YE=12h2g+O(h3). Together with [F1], the latter gives K2−K1=hg+O(h2).

Proof

1.1F1F2algebra

From [F1] and [F2], h2(K2−K1)=12h2g+O(h3); since h>0, division by h/2 gives K2−K1=hg+O(h2). Substituting this into the defining formula for Pn in [F1], and using 0≤θ2≤1, gives Pn(θ)=yn+θhK1+12θ2h2g+O(h3) uniformly in θ.

2.1F2step 1.1algebra∎

The uniform exact-path expansion in [F2] has the same first two terms as step 1.1, with an O(h3) remainder independent of θ. Subtracting it from the expansion of Pn(θ) proves the asserted uniform estimate.
