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.
Fixed-horizon SMC central limit theorem with residual resampling away from integer weights
Statement
Fix a finite horizon and use the target/proposal flow and classes of Finite-horizon SMC CLT classes and variance recursions, with for every . Run SIR with residual resampling at each time. At every , assume either -almost everywhere, or . For , let be the corrected weighted empirical law and the post-resampling empirical law. Then where is defined by Finite-horizon SMC CLT classes and variance recursions in the stated branches. No conclusion is asserted for a nonconstant weight law with positive mass at a positive integer. The horizon is fixed as .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A fixed finite SIR horizon with residual selection, the recursive target-moment class , the source condition at every time, and the no-positive-integer-atom or constant-weight condition at every time.
The Axiom of Choice: AC is inherited through the finite-horizon path-law and particle-law construction.
Finite-horizon SMC CLT classes and variance recursions: includes the terminal target moment and recursively places centered forward images in ; the source condition is ; the displayed residual covariance is assigned only in the stated branches.
Conditional mutation and weighted correction CLT: Given the preceding selected-population CLT, mutation and correction give the weighted-estimator CLT with covariance , with the initial ratio CLT at .
Conditional residual resampling central limit theorem away from integer weights: Under proposal empirical-law convergence and the stated residual-weight condition, residual selection adds to the weighted-estimator variance and gives the selected-population CLT.
Cramer wold device: Convergence of all scalar linear projections to the corresponding centered Gaussian projections implies vector weak convergence to the multivariate Gaussian with that covariance matrix.
Finite-horizon SMC empirical laws converge for integrable tests: In the stated finite-horizon SIR flow with multinomial or residual selection, proposal empirical averages converge in probability for every proposal-integrable test, and corrected and selected empirical averages do so for every target-integrable test, at each fixed time.
Proof
Given: The hypotheses in the Statement.
The finite-horizon SIR flow and residual selection satisfy [F5], so all its integrable-test empirical-law conclusions hold at every , as required by [F2] and [F3]. Fix and put . The bound and linearity of each show from [F1] that . We prove by induction on the scalar assertion for every test in ; at this includes .
Let , assume the assertion holds for every test in , and take arbitrary . By [F1], , so the induction hypothesis gives the selected CLT needed by [F2] for the centered weighted test. The source condition makes the correction ratio well defined in the stated class. Thus [F2] yields the weighted CLT at time with covariance .
At time zero, let . By [F2], the initial weighted ratio has CLT variance . The assumed residual-weight branch either has constant weight one, in which case selection is deterministic and , or has no positive-integer atom; in the latter case the target moment and weighted CLT meet [F3], which gives the selected CLT with its stated .
The target moment , the weighted CLT just obtained, the empirical laws from step 1.1, and the residual-weight condition satisfy [F3]. Residual selection gives the selected CLT with covariance . This proves the induction assertion for every while retaining the stated weight condition at each time.
The base step 2.1 and induction steps 1.2, 2.2 prove both scalar limits at time for every . For each , by step 1.1 and has covariance projections and . Since was arbitrary, [F4] yields the two vector limits. The integer-boundary branch is excluded by hypothesis and receives no conclusion here.
