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.

2 · Summary
Worked ALE and interface cases
These examples instantiate the two separate branches on ale-interface-and-partitioned-multiphysics-discretization. Each calculation is finite and exact; none asserts a general nonlinear fluid-structure result.
Moving mesh
An expanding cell preserves a constant state uses two periodic cells. Their initial widths are both one; a single interior face moves right by , so the cell Jacobians become and . The upwind ALE flux changes each extensive cell value by exactly the corresponding geometric volume change, leaving the constant state and total mass unchanged.
Diffusion interface
A two-domain heat trace balances outward fluxes constructs two positive-definite backward-Euler blocks whose scalar Schur operators are and . It computes the common trace, the equal-and-opposite outward fluxes, and both passes of the Robin-Robin iteration needed to certify the trace tolerance.
Added mass
A toy sequential coupling can amplify velocity error sets and in the specifically defined scalar recurrence. It shows the increment doubles in magnitude at each pass, which demonstrates instability of that recurrence only.

A toy sequential coupling can amplify velocity error
Statement
In the scalar recurrence of Scalar added-mass staggered recurrence, set , , and choose . Then , so the increments grow geometrically in magnitude.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The recurrence from Scalar added-mass staggered recurrence, with , , and .
Verification
Dividing [F1] by gives .
Induction yields : it holds at , and multiplying the formula at by gives it at .
Since , and . If instead , step 2.1 gives zero increments throughout, so the nonzero hypothesis is needed for growth. Thus this specified recurrence is unstable in the stated scalar sense; no broader FSI claim follows.
An expanding cell preserves a constant state
Statement
On a two-cell periodic grid take , , period , initial faces , , , physical speed , and periodic face velocities , , . If both initial cell averages equal , the successful ALE upwind step has Jacobians and , preserves both averages at , and conserves total mass .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The grid, time step, face velocities, physical speed, and constant initial average in the Statement.
Periodic one-dimensional moving grid: , the face update is , and .
Conservative upwind ALE finite-volume step: after checking , the algorithm uses and .
The upwind ALE step conserves mass and preserves constants: a successful periodic upwind ALE step preserves mass and every constant input state.
Verification
The moved faces are , , and . Hence the two updated Jacobians are and , both positive, so [F2] returns success and performs the state update.
The relative speeds at these faces are , , and , so the fluxes are , , and . Formula [F2] gives and . Dividing by the positive Jacobians gives both updated averages equal to .
The new total mass is , equal to the old mass . This is the finite instance of [F3].
A two-domain heat trace balances outward fluxes
Statement
Take a one-dimensional trace space , two interior spaces , , , , and , with the second coordinate as trace. Let the condensed loads be , . The monolithic trace is and the outward fluxes are and . With , , tolerance , and budget , the Robin–Robin algorithm returns the certified trace on its second pass.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite-dimensional local blocks, trace coordinates, condensed loads, Robin parameter, incoming datum, tolerance, and pass budget in the Statement.
Finite-dimensional backward-Euler diffusion transmission model: , , and the monolithic trace solves .
The diffusion Schur complement is positive and minimizes energy: each positive-definite local block has a positive-definite Schur complement.
Monolithic backward Euler transmission energy identity: when traces match and outward fluxes balance, paired interface work cancels in the monolithic energy identity.
Finite-budget Robin-Robin transmission iteration: each pass performs the two Robin solves and exchanges and stops only when the stated residual test passes.
Robin-Robin iteration contracts to the monolithic trace: a passing stop test certifies trace error at most relative to the monolithic trace.
Verification
The local backward-Euler blocks are and , which are positive definite. With zero off-diagonal blocks between the interior and trace coordinates, their Schur operators are and , so [F2] applies.
On pass one, , , , and . Here , , and the stop threshold is ; the incoming-data change is , so the algorithm does not stop.
The monolithic scalar equation is , hence . Its fluxes are and , so they balance and the interface work vanishes as in [F3].
On pass two, , , , and . The incoming-data change is , so [F4] returns converged with trace ; [F5] certifies its error is at most relative to from step 2.1.
