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 τℓa. Consequently the control-minimum update is order-preserving and ∥Un+1∥∞≤∥Un∥∞+τL. For a smooth periodic test function ϕ with bounded derivatives through order two, the normalized local residual satisfies ϕ(tn+τ,xi)−Sh,τϕ(tn,⋅)iτ=ϕt(xi,tn)+H(xi,tn,Dϕ(xi,tn))+O(τ+hmax⁡+ηk(P)), where Sh,τ is the scheme map, hmax⁡=max⁡jhj, P bounds ∣Dϕ∣ on the tested compact set, and ηk(P)=0 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.

[F1]

For fixed a, the row is Gia(V)=(1−τ∑j∣ba,j∣hj)Vi+τ∑j(ba,j+hjVi+ej+ba,j−hjVi−ej)+τℓa, with periodic indices and b+=max⁡(b,0), b−=max⁡(−b,0); the scheme takes the minimum of these rows (CFL-monotone upwind update for first-order HJB equations).

[F2]

For g∈C2 with ∣g′′∣≤M, Taylor's theorem bounds a first-order increment by its linear term plus Mh2/2 (A uniform derivative bound gives a uniform Taylor remainder bound).

[F3]

The HJB sign convention is H(x,t,p)=−min⁡a∈A(ba(x,t)⋅p+ℓa(x,t)) (Periodic first-order controlled Hamilton–Jacobi Cauchy problem).

Proof

1.1F1givenalgebra

The CFL condition makes the center coefficient in [F1] nonnegative; all neighbor coefficients are nonnegative by ba,j±≥0. Their sum is 1−τ∑j∣ba,j∣/hj+τ∑j(ba,j++ba,j−)/hj=1. Thus each row is a convex combination of nodal values plus τℓa and is order-preserving. A pointwise minimum of order-preserving maps is order-preserving. Every row value lies in [−∥Un∥∞−τL,∥Un∥∞+τL], so the minimum has the same bound.

1.2F1F2F3givenalgebra

If ba,j≥0, the drift term in [F1] is ba,j(ϕ(xi+hjej)−ϕ(xi))/hj; if ba,j<0, it is ba,j(ϕ(xi)−ϕ(xi−hjej))/hj. In either case it equals ba,jϕxj(xi)+O(∣ba,j∣hj∥ϕxjxj∥∞) by [F2]. The time increment divided by τ is ϕt(xi,tn)+O(τ∥ϕtt∥∞). The minimum is Lipschitz with respect to uniform perturbations of its entries, and replacing A by Ak changes the Hamiltonian by at most ηk(P). 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.
