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.

Coupled constant-step BDF2 is second order for a regular index-one DAE

Statement

For the semi-explicit DAE with x∈Rd, z∈Rm, and d,m≥1, let x′=F(t,x) be the reduced ODE from A regular index-one DAE has a local reduced ODE branch on [0,T], with exact solution xˉ∈C3. Assume F is Lipschitz in x on a common compact tube with constant L, ψ is Lipschitz in x there with constant Lψ, f is Lipschitz in z with constant Lz, and the residual lemma's hypotheses hold uniformly on this tube: common γ>0, Λ≥0, and ρ>0 in its lower singular-value and Jacobian-Lipschitz bounds, with ρ≤γ/(m Λ) when Λ>0. Every numerical algebraic candidate lies in its corresponding branch ball. Use a constant grid tn=nh, h=T/N, T>0, and N≥2. Suppose the two starting pairs satisfy

∥Xj−xˉ(tj)∥2≤Csh2,∥g(tj,Xj,Zj)∥2≤Ca,sh2,j=0,1.

For each 2≤n≤N, suppose the constant-step BDF2 derivative and algebraic residuals satisfy

rnd=3Xn−4Xn−1+Xn−22h−f(tn,Xn,Zn),rna=g(tn,Xn,Zn),∥rnd∥2≤Cdh2,∥rna∥2≤Cah2.

Then, for all sufficiently small h, a constant C independent of h satisfies

max⁡0≤n≤N(∥Xn−xˉ(tn)∥2+∥Zn−ψ(tn,xˉ(tn))∥2)≤Ch2.

The starter hypothesis holds, in particular, for an exact consistent X0,Z0 and one backward-Euler startup from X0 with derivative residual O(h) and algebraic residual O(h2). The error theorem is conditional on the residual bounds and selected branch; it does not assert that a finite Newton budget meets them.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A C3 reduced solution on a compact tube, a selected C2 index-one branch, the Lipschitz bounds, a constant grid, the starting-pair bounds, the BDF2 residuals, and the residual branch hypotheses in the Statement.

[F1]

A regular index-one DAE has a local reduced ODE branch: the reduced field is F(t,x)=f(t,x,ψ(t,x)), and the DAE algebraic variable is ψ(t,x).

[F2]

An index-one algebraic residual locally bounds algebraic state error: inside its branch ball, algebraic residual ra gives ∥Z−ψ(t,X)∥2≤(2/γ)∥ra∥2.

[F3]

Finite-budget coupled constant-step BDF2 for an index-one DAE: the coupled differential residual is rnd=(3Xn−4Xn−1+Xn−2)/(2h)−f(tn,Xn,Zn). Its coefficients are the constant-step case rn=1 of Variable-step BDF2 with an explicit local implicit-branch rule; on the exact selected branch, [F1] gives f(tn,Xn,ψ(tn,Xn))=F(tn,Xn).

[F4]

Quadratic interpolation gives the variable-step BDF2 formula and cubic residual: for C3 exact solutions and constant adjacent-step ratio 1, the unscaled exact BDF2 residual is O(h3).

[F5]

Finite geometric error bound from a one-step recurrence: a recurrence En≤(1+L0h)En−1+C1h3 with E1=O(h2) on a finite uniform interval has max⁡nEn=O(h2).

[F6]

Multivariable Taylor formula with a Lagrange remainder along a line segment: Taylor expansion with bounded third derivative gives the stated cubic local BDF2 residual.

[A1]

All exact and numerical states, algebraic residual candidates, and selected roots lie in the common compact tube and branch balls of the Statement, with the same γ,Λ,ρ at every step.

Proof

1.1A1F1F2algebra

Write xˉn=xˉ(tn), zˉn=ψ(tn,xˉn), and en=Xn−xˉn. By [F2], ∥Zn−ψ(tn,Xn)∥2≤(2Ca/γ)h2. Thus, with δn=f(tn,Xn,Zn)−F(tn,Xn), the z-Lipschitz bound gives ∥δn∥2≤(2LzCa/γ)h2.

1.2A1F4F6

Put τn=(3xˉn−4xˉn−1+xˉn−2)/(2h)−F(tn,xˉn). By [F4], setting the adjacent-step ratio to 1 gives an unscaled residual of size O(h3); division by 2h yields ∥τn∥2≤Cτh2. This also follows by applying [F6] componentwise to the exact solution through degree two.

2.1A1F3step 1.1step 1.2algebra

By [F3] and step 1.1, the numerical recurrence is (3Xn−4Xn−1+Xn−2)/(2h)=F(tn,Xn)+δn+rnd, while the exact defect definition gives the same formula with X replaced by xˉ and an added τn. With dn=en−en−1 and wn=δn+rnd−τn, subtraction gives 3dn−dn−1=2h(F(tn,Xn)−F(tn,xˉn)+wn), where ∥wn∥2≤qn:=∥rnd∥2+∥δn∥2+∥τn∥2. The Lipschitz bound and ∥en∥2≤∥en−1∥2+∥dn∥2 imply (3−2hL)∥dn∥2≤∥dn−1∥2+2hL∥en−1∥2+2hqn. For hL≤3/4, division by 3−2hL≥3/2 yields ∥dn∥2≤(2/3)∥dn−1∥2+(4/3)hL∥en−1∥2+(4/3)hqn.

3.1step 2.1step 1.1step 1.2algebra

Set En=∥en∥2+2∥dn∥2. Using en=en−1+dn and the last inequality of step 2.1 gives En≤(1+4Lh)∥en−1∥2+2∥dn−1∥2+4hqn≤(1+4Lh)En−1+4hqn. Steps 1.1 and 1.2 and the residual assumptions imply qn≤Cqh2, so En≤(1+4Lh)En−1+4Cqh3.

4.1F5step 3.1given

The starting-pair bounds give E1≤∥e1∥2+2∥e1−e0∥2=O(h2). Apply [F5] to the N−1 steps from index 1 to N, whose interval length is (N−1)h≤T. This yields max⁡1≤n≤NEn=O(h2); the starting-pair bound also gives ∥e0∥2=O(h2), so max⁡0≤n≤N∥en∥2=O(h2).

5.1A1F1F2step 4.1algebra

The residual estimate [F2] and the Lipschitz bound on ψ give ∥Zn−zˉn∥2≤∥Zn−ψ(tn,Xn)∥2+Lψ∥en∥2=O(h2) for every n, including n=0,1 by the starter assumptions.

6.1A1F1F2F6algebra∎

To verify the stated backward-Euler startup option, let X0=xˉ0. Its exact-start BE defect satisfies τ1BE=(xˉ1−xˉ0)/h−F(t1,xˉ1)=O(h) by [F6]. The BE residual equation and Lipschitz bound then give (1−hL)∥X1−xˉ1∥2≤h(∥r1d∥2+∥δ1∥2+∥τ1BE∥2)=O(h2), since r1d=O(h) and r1a=O(h2) imply δ1=O(h2) by [F2]. For hL≤1/2, this yields ∥X1−xˉ1∥2=O(h2); [F2] and r1a=O(h2) then give ∥Z1−zˉ1∥2=O(h2).
