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.

Augmented RBF-FD weights reproduce polynomials and obey a local Taylor bound

Statement

Let p≥0 be an integer, let Y=(y1,…,yN) be distinct and (p+1)-unisolvent for Πp(Rd), and let K be a real strictly conditionally positive-definite kernel of order p+1. Fix a center x, an ordered basis p1,…,pJ of Πp, and a homogeneous constant-coefficient differential functional L of order t≤p for which all section derivatives in Exact augmented RBF-FD weights for a local differential functional exist. Let (w,v) be the exact output of that procedure and put rY=max⁡i∣yi−x∣. Then the procedure returns success, and for every q∈Πp, ∑i=1Nwiq(yi)=Lq(x). If f∈Cp+1(U) on an open convex set U containing the compact convex hull H=conv⁡{x,y1,…,yN}, then ∣∑iwif(yi)−Lf(x)∣≤Cd,p(∑i∣wi∣)rYp+1max⁡∣α∣=p+1sup⁡z∈H∣Dαf(z)∣. Consequently, when rY>0, a separately proved bound ∑i∣wi∣≤CwrY−t yields the order Cd,pCwrYp+1−t truncation bound. Unisolvence alone is not asserted to provide this weight-norm bound.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The sites, kernel, polynomial basis, center, functional, and function hypotheses in the Statement.

[F1]

The exact algorithm forms the augmented matrix with blocks KY,P,PT,0, right side (b,ℓ), and applies deterministic Gaussian elimination with row pivoting; the lower block of any solution is PTw=ℓ. (Exact augmented RBF-FD weights for a local differential functional)

[F2]

Under strict conditional positive definiteness of order p+1 and (p+1)-unisolvence, the augmented matrix is invertible for every right-hand side. (Strict positive and conditionally positive augmented interpolation systems are invertible, Radial kernels, polynomial augmentation, and site geometry)

[F3]

Taylor's theorem gives a degree-p polynomial Tpf at x whose value remainder at y is bounded by Cd,p∣y−x∣p+1 times the supremum of all order-(p+1) partial derivatives on the segment. (Multivariable Taylor formula with a Lagrange remainder along a line segment)

Proof

technique · exact elimination, moment equations, and Taylor cancellation

Given: The hypotheses above. All linear algebra and arithmetic in the algorithm are exact.

1.1F1F2inductionalgebra

Let M be the augmented matrix and g its right side in [F1]. It is square and invertible by [F2]. Initially the leading 0×0 pivot block is invertible. Inductively suppose the first k−1 pivots have been nonzero. After their row swaps and elimination, the row-equivalent matrix has block form [UB0S] with U invertible and S the remaining Schur complement. The block matrix is invertible, so S is invertible: if Sz=0, then (−U−1Bz,z) would be a nonzero vector in its kernel. If the first column of S were zero, its first coordinate vector would be a nonzero kernel vector. Thus the finite set of remaining entries in column k contains a nonzero entry, and the algorithm's least-index rule finds a nonzero pivot. Row swaps and adding multiples of pivot rows are invertible elementary row operations, so they preserve the solution set. After N+J pivots the matrix is upper triangular with nonzero diagonal, and descending substitution returns the unique solution. Therefore the singular-system status is unreachable under the hypotheses.

2.1F1step 1.1algebra

Writing the returned vector as (w,v), its lower block equation is PTw=ℓ. For each basis polynomial pj, this says ∑iwipj(yi)=Lpj(x). Every q∈Πp is a linear combination q=∑jajpj, so multiplying these identities by aj and summing, using linearity of L, gives ∑iwiq(yi)=Lq(x).

3.1F3step 2.1algebra

Let Tpf be the Taylor polynomial of f at x of total degree at most p. Since t≤p, its derivatives at x through order t agree with those of f, so LTpf(x)=Lf(x). Applying step 2.1 to Tpf gives ∑iwiTpf(yi)=Lf(x).

4.1F3step 3.1algebra∎

Subtract the identity in step 3.1 from the sampled sum for f. For every i, [F3] bounds ∣f(yi)−Tpf(yi)∣ by Cd,p∣yi−x∣p+1 times the derivative supremum on H, since each segment lies in the convex hull H. The triangle inequality and ∣yi−x∣≤rY now give the stated truncation estimate. When rY>0, the additional weight bound yields the final conditional rate.
