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.

A bounded field whose solution leaves the domain in finite time: x′=v, v′=0 on (0,∞)×(−2,2)

Example

Let U=(0,∞)×(−2,2)⊆R2 and let F:U→R2, F(x,v)=(v,0), so that the first-order system (x,v)′=F(x,v) is the free particle with velocity v (The local flow of an autonomous first-order system). The solution of z′=F(z), z(0)=(1,−1) is

z(t)=(x(t),v(t))=(1−t, −1),t∈(−∞,1).

Its maximal interval of existence is (−∞,1): at t=1 the position reaches the excluded boundary value x=0, although ∥F(x,v)∥=∣v∣<2 is bounded on U and the field extends smoothly to the plane. Hence a finite maximal interval does not require the field to blow up; the domain can force it.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The domain U=(0,∞)×(−2,2), the field F(x,v)=(v,0), and the datum z0=(1,−1).

[L1]

F is continuous and locally Lipschitz in the state variable; the flow, maximal solutions and maximal intervals are those of The local flow of an autonomous first-order system and Extensions, maximal solutions, maximal intervals, and global solutions; every initial value problem has a unique maximal solution, and every other solution through the same data is a restriction of it (Every Picard–Lindelöf initial value problem has one maximal solution on an open interval, First-order systems, initial value problems, and solutions on intervals). A solution on an interval I must satisfy (t,z(t))∈R×U for every t∈I (Intervals of R: the nine order-convex forms, nondegeneracy, and length). [given]

Verification

technique · direct; verify the explicit solution, then show no extension past $t=1$ can meet the domain condition
1.1givenL1algebra

The curve z(t)=(1−t,−1) is defined for t<1 and lies in R×U there because 1−t>0 and −1∈(−2,2); it is differentiable with z′(t)=(−1,0)=F(z(t)) for every t<1, and z(0)=(1,−1). So it is a solution on (−∞,1).

2.1step 1.1L1algebra∎

Maximality: suppose a solution ζ through (1,−1) were defined on an interval containing some t0>1. By [L1] it agrees with z on the overlap of their intervals and is continuous at t=1, so ζ(1)=lim⁡t↑1(1−t,−1)=(0,−1), i.e. its position is 0 at time 1; but then (1,ζ(1))=(1,(0,−1)) does not lie in R×U, contradicting the domain condition for a solution on that interval. Hence no solution through the datum is defined at t0>1, while z is defined at every t<1; the maximal interval is exactly (−∞,1). In particular the maximal solution escapes the domain at the finite time 1 with ∥F(x,v)∥=∣v∣<2 bounded on U, so boundedness of the field alone does not guarantee a global solution.
