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 , for a constant independent of and . 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 .
Local orders and leading estimator term for the Euler–Heun pair: uniformly for , and . Together with [F1], the latter gives .
Proof
From [F1] and [F2], ; since , division by gives . Substituting this into the defining formula for in [F1], and using , gives uniformly in .
The uniform exact-path expansion in [F2] has the same first two terms as step 1.1, with an remainder independent of . Subtracting it from the expansion of proves the asserted uniform estimate.

Dependency tree · two levels
9 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.
