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.

Forward discretization enters before inversion and controls the Tikhonov parameter coupling

Statement

Assume Countable Choice. Let A:X→Y be compact and Ah:X→Y be bounded and finite rank, between real or complex Hilbert spaces. Suppose x†⊥ker⁡A, y=Ax†, yδ=y+e with ∥e∥≤δ, and ∥A−Ah∥≤η. Form the discretized datum yh,δ=Ahx†+e before inversion. For λ>0, define Rλ=(A∗A+λI)−1A∗,Rλ,h=(Ah∗Ah+λI)−1Ah∗, and for a computed output x~h define its exact normal-equation residual rh,h=(Ah∗Ah+λI)x~h−Ah∗yh,δ. Then ∥x†−x~h∥≤∥x†−Rλy∥+δ+η∥x†∥2λ+∥(Rλ−Rλ,h)yh,δ∥+∥rh,h∥λ. The forward-model term η∥x†∥ is counted before inversion and is amplified by 1/(2λ). The regularized-operator difference is kept as a separate term; the sequence conclusion below explicitly assumes that this term tends to zero.

For a sequence of discretizations and outputs, if λj→0, δj+ηj∥x†∥λj→0,∥(Rλj−Rλj,hj)yhj,δj∥→0,∥rhj,hj∥λj→0, then x~hj→x†. If a certified residual evaluation satisfies ∥rh,h−r^h,h∥≤ρh,h, its term may be bounded by (∥r^h,h∥+ρh,h)/λ.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice, compact A, bounded finite-rank Ah, Hilbert spaces X,Y, x†⊥ker⁡A, y=Ax†, e with ∥e∥≤δ, ∥A−Ah∥≤η, λ>0, the pre-inversion datum yh,δ=Ahx†+e, and an output x~h with its exact residual rh,h.

[A1]

The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω): Countable Choice is the hypothesis needed for the compact spectral theorem; no full Choice is used.

[F1]

Tikhonov error separates bias, data noise, discretization and solve residual: With dh=(A−Ah)x†=yδ−yh,δ, the exact error chain is (x†−Rλy)+(Rλy−Rλyδ)+Rλdh+(Rλ−Rλ,h)yh,δ+(Rλ,hyh,δ−x~h). Its last term has norm at most ∥rh,h∥/λ.

[F2]

Hilbert-space Tikhonov amplifies data by at most 1/(2λ): For bounded T, ∥(T∗T+λI)−1T∗g∥≤∥g∥/(2λ).

[F3]

The shifted Hilbert-space normal operator is invertible with inverse norm at most 1/λ: The inverse of Ah∗Ah+λI has norm at most 1/λ.

[F4]

Compact-operator Tikhonov bias vanishes on the minimum-norm solution: For compact A and x†⊥ker⁡A, ∥x†−RλAx†∥→0 as λ↓0.

[F5]

The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum: ∥(A−Ah)x∥≤∥A−Ah∥ ∥x∥.

Proof

1.1givenF1algebraA1F3

Both shifted normal operators are invertible by [F3], since A and Ah are bounded; hence Rλ and Rλ,h are well-defined. Set dh=(A−Ah)x†. Then yδ−yh,δ=(Ax†+e)−(Ahx†+e)=dh. Substituting this equality into the five-term identity [F1] gives the exact error decomposition for the pre-inversion discretized datum.

By [F5], ∥dh∥≤η∥x†∥. By [F2], the data-noise term is at most δ/(2λ) and the pre-inversion term ∥Rλdh∥ is at most η∥x†∥/(2λ). The last term is at most ∥rh,h∥/λ by [F1]. Applying the triangle inequality to the decomposition in step 1.1 yields the displayed error bound, retaining the regularized-operator difference as a separate term.

3.1givenF1F4step 2.1algebraA1∎

Along the stated sequence, the bias term tends to zero by [F4]. The combined data and forward-discretization term tends to zero by the first parameter condition; the regularized-operator difference and normal-residual terms tend to zero by the other two conditions. The bound in the Statement therefore gives ∥x†−x~hj∥→0. The residual-evaluation variant follows from ∥rh,h∥≤∥r^h,h∥+ρh,h by the triangle inequality.
