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.
Padé error and squaring defects give a conditional exponential error bound
Statement
Suppose Finite-order Padé scaling-and-squaring exponential returns status conditional-error-bound for a stored finite matrix , Padé order , and scaling count , with computed candidate and exact nonnegative upper bound (rational in the fully encoded rational adapter). Also suppose the caller-supplied certification hypotheses hold: with , the cycle is polygonal with trace in for exact dyadic , , is disjoint from and null-homologous in the disk, and its index is one at every point of . Then The assertion is conditional on the exact denominator residual, scalar disk remainder, caller-supplied contour topology, validated contour resolvent bound, and every recorded squaring-defect bound. The validator does not establish the contour hypotheses or count enclosed eigenvalues. A finite budget need not produce a bound.

The algorithm forms , computes the rational-coefficient polynomial matrices and exactly, and accepts its initial candidate only after an exact solve check (Finite-order Padé scaling-and-squaring exponential).
A verified denominator solve satisfies exactly (An exact residual check certifies the Padé denominator solve).
The scalar exponential is the everywhere-defined power series (The complex exponential by its power series). If , then has no zero in the disk and for (A finite scalar remainder bound for the diagonal Padé exponential).
A scalar rational error and uniform contour resolvent bound imply (A resolvent contour bound transfers scalar rational error to matrices).
The validator's successful return supplies the stated uniform resolvent bound on every supplied contour segment (The finite disk cover validator returns a uniform resolvent bound on success).

The complex infinity norm is the maximum absolute row sum (The complex induced infinity matrix norm) and is submultiplicative (The complex infinity matrix norm is compatible and submultiplicative).
The bounded-operator exponential series is absolutely convergent and satisfies (Every finite-dimensional normed space is Banach, The exponential series of a bounded operator).
Analytic primary matrix functions respect products (Jordan, contour, similarity, and normal-functional-calculus formulas agree).
The Padé functions are , , and where the denominator is nonzero (Diagonal Padé approximant to the exponential).
The algorithm defines and, for , (Finite-order Padé scaling-and-squaring exponential). Its upper-bound property is proved in step 1.1 below.

Proof
For the series gives . For , put and . For every , . Induction yields . Finite geometric sums and passage to the convergent series give . Adding the first terms proves for both actual scalar inputs. This uses the explicit exponential series in [F3], not an unproved algorithm property.
Integrating [L1] gives a positive remainder and the partial sum . Since , we have , hence and . Therefore whenever .
Let . Since , [F3] makes nonzero throughout , which contains by the caller's topological hypothesis. In a Jordan basis of , polynomial evaluation makes each block of upper triangular with diagonal , so is invertible. The polynomial has finitely many zeros and none in the closed disk by [F3]; hence some makes nonzero on the open disk , which contains both and . Thus is holomorphic there. By the product rule [F9] applied to , , hence . Applying [F9] again to from [F10] gives . The polynomial matrices and commute, so this is also . The exact solve from [F2] therefore makes the initial candidate .
Put for . The exponential semigroup law in [F8] gives and . The row-sum matrix norm is the operator norm induced by the vector infinity norm: the row triangle inequality gives the upper bound, and for a maximizing row choose each nonzero coordinate of to cancel the phase of that matrix entry, with arbitrary unit phases for zero entries; then and that row attains its row sum. By [F7] and [F8], by [F11], where is the exact row bound used by the algorithm.
The scalar bound [F3] applies at every point of because its trace lies in . Since by [F11], it gives with the computed by the algorithm. The validator gives the resolvent bound by [F5]; applying [F4] and then step 1.2 gives
For each returned square, the exact controller audit defines . Since , its row sums give . If , [F6] and step 2.1 imply Starting from step 2.2, induction proves this bound for every .
At , by step 2.1, so step 3.1 gives , as claimed.
