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.
The rotating-frame acceleration identity for a uniform rotation about an axis
Example
Let and define by the rotation about the third standard axis through angle :
Then for every , and is
The angular-velocity vector of Angular velocity of a moving frame and the rotating-frame acceleration identity is , independent of . For any twice continuously differentiable , put and let be identically zero. That lemma gives
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A number and the rotation matrix displayed above, defined for ; write and .
The identity holds for every real ; sine and cosine have derivatives and , so repeated differentiation gives continuous derivatives of all orders. Vector-valued formulas are differentiated componentwise (Sine and cosine defined by their real power series, Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine, The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, The derivative and the Riemann integral of a vector-valued function: an intrinsic derivative and a componentwise integral).
For twice continuously differentiable and , with and the unique vector with for all , Angular velocity of a moving frame and the rotating-frame acceleration identity gives when .
The cross product in of the standard basis vectors is , , , and it is bilinear and alternating (The cross product in ).
Verification
By [L1], , and the product equals , using ; hence reading off the entries of as in clause 2 of [L2] gives and for every . Also and , so ; [L1] gives its required regularity.
Take for , so , and by [L1]. Then ; the right-hand side is by [L3] and step 1.1. The two sides agree.
Take for , so , , and by [L1]. Multiplying by gives ; the right-hand side is by [L3] and step 1.1, using and . The two sides agree, exhibiting the two rotational terms separately.
Remarks
-
Both checks are finite computations with the convention and angular velocity . The other convention gives the same vector in this fixed-axis example, so the example does not test the distinction between conventions.
-
The identity is kinematic. The terms are named "Coriolis" and "centrifugal" only in a mechanical interpretation, which requires the force and mass hypotheses of the consuming physical items.
