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 interval Krawczyk certifier has the stated per-system guarantee
Statement
If Interval Krawczyk linear system certifier with explicit statuses returns existence-certified, every admitted system has at least one solution in . If it also returns unique-certified, each fixed admitted pair has exactly one solution in . Inconclusive asserts neither existence nor singularity.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The admitted matrix and right-hand-side families, box , , a supplied inverse witness for , and an existence-certified run.
Outward interval operations enclose their exact expression ranges (Outward-rounded operations are inclusion-isotone and enclose DAG evaluations).
Krawczyk set inclusion gives existence, and a defect norm below one gives uniqueness (Krawczyk inclusion gives solutions and contraction gives uniqueness).
On an existence-certified return the admitted inputs satisfy , and the algorithm checks that its outward Krawczyk enclosure lies in ; on a unique-certified return it also supplies an outward defect bound (Interval Krawczyk linear system certifier with explicit statuses).
Proof
Since , the supplied is invertible. By [F1], the computed enclosing box contains every exact value of for each admitted pair and each . Its successful inclusion in therefore implies the set from [F2] is contained in .
Apply [F2] to each fixed pair to obtain a solution in . If the run also reports unique-certified, [F3] supplies an outward row-sum bound with for every admitted , so the uniqueness clause of [F2] applies separately to every pair. If that strict bound is not returned, no uniqueness claim follows.
