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.
Monotonicity, L-infinity stability, and consistency of the upwind HJB step
Statement
Assume the first-order HJB coefficients satisfy the hypotheses of Periodic first-order controlled Hamilton–Jacobi Cauchy problem. Under the CFL condition in CFL-monotone upwind update for first-order HJB equations, each one-control update is a convex combination of the current node and its one-sided neighbors plus . Consequently the control-minimum update is order-preserving and For a smooth periodic test function with bounded derivatives through order two, the normalized local residual satisfies where is the scheme map, , bounds on the tested compact set, and for exact control minimization.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The periodic upwind update, its CFL condition, bounded coefficient and running-cost bounds, and a smooth periodic test function.
For fixed , the row is with periodic indices and , ; the scheme takes the minimum of these rows (CFL-monotone upwind update for first-order HJB equations).
For with , Taylor's theorem bounds a first-order increment by its linear term plus (A uniform derivative bound gives a uniform Taylor remainder bound).
The HJB sign convention is (Periodic first-order controlled Hamilton–Jacobi Cauchy problem).
Proof
The CFL condition makes the center coefficient in [F1] nonnegative; all neighbor coefficients are nonnegative by . Their sum is Thus each row is a convex combination of nodal values plus and is order-preserving. A pointwise minimum of order-preserving maps is order-preserving. Every row value lies in , so the minimum has the same bound.
If , the drift term in [F1] is ; if , it is . In either case it equals by [F2]. The time increment divided by is . The minimum is Lipschitz with respect to uniform perturbations of its entries, and replacing by changes the Hamiltonian by at most . Combining these estimates and [F3] gives the stated residual.
The weights in [F1] show that the upwind step is a monotone, stable, consistent approximation with the stated error. This conclusion is local consistency only and asserts no solution-error rate.
