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.

Global weighted L2 error from the complete parabolic residual

Statement

Under the smoothness, exact initial data, and exact sampled Dirichlet rows of Local truncation residual for the θ heat scheme, let θ∈[1/2,1] and let Un be the fully discrete solution. At every time level m≤M,

∥rm−Um∥h≤2TLxLy Rθ,

where

Rθ={ΔtMtt+(κxhx2Mx4+κyhy2My4)/12,θ≠1/2,(Δt)2Mttt/12+(κxhx2Mx4+κyhy2My4)/12,θ=1/2.

Here rm is the exact solution sampled on the grid and ∥⋅∥h is the weighted interior L2 norm. Thus the global rate is first order in time when θ≠1/2, second order in time when θ=1/2, and second order in each spatial spacing under the stated derivative and boundary hypotheses.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The finite rectangular grid and time levels of Fully discrete θ heat finite-difference scheme, an exact smooth solution and exact sampled initial and Dirichlet rows as in Local truncation residual for the θ heat scheme, and θ∈[1/2,1].

[F1]

Fully discrete θ heat finite-difference scheme uses the same linear θ update and the same exact boundary row at each time level for both the numerical and sampled exact grids.

[F2]

Unconditional weighted L2 stability for θ at least one half: for a zero-boundary error step with source qn, ∥en+1∥h≤∥en∥h+2Δt∥qn∥h.

[F3]

Local truncation residual for the θ heat scheme: the exact sampled grid has complete interior residual τn with ∥τn∥∞≤Rθ.

Proof

1.1F1F3givenalgebra

Define the interior error en=rn−Un. Exact initial values give e0=0, and exact boundary rows give en=0 on every boundary node. Subtracting the numerical equation from the exact sampled equation whose residual is [F3] shows that en satisfies the same zero-Dirichlet θ update with source qn=τn.

2.1F2step 1.1algebra

Applying [F2] at each time step gives ∥en+1∥h≤∥en∥h+2Δt∥τn∥h. Summing these inequalities from n=0 to m−1 and using e0=0 yields ∥em∥h≤2Δt∑n=0m−1∥τn∥h.

3.1F3step 2.1givenalgebra∎

The weighted grid norm has total interior weight hxhy(Nx−1)(Ny−1)<LxLy, so [F3] gives ∥τn∥h≤LxLy Rθ. Since mΔt≤T, step 2.1 implies ∥em∥h≤2TLxLy Rθ. Substituting the two explicit values of Rθ from [F3] proves the stated rates.

Remarks

Exact boundary samples make the error zero on the boundary; the local residual includes every interior stencil row adjacent to it. The conclusion is a smooth-solution grid L2 error estimate; it gives no positivity or nonsmooth-solution rate. No choice axiom is used.
