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 first sine mode with matched velocity data: exact solution and the numerical tail bound
Example
Let , and define the odd -periodic datum
Then the sine coefficients of Sine coefficients, sine series and the odd periodic extension are and for , and , for ; the series solution of the string theorem is the finite expression
which solves with , and ; its tail beyond the first mode vanishes. For each define the matching partial sum , where , and . The numerical bound of the string theorem at these data is
so the general bound is valid but far from sharp on this datum.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The period , wave speed , the data above, and .
Sine coefficients equal ; for a single sine mode with the orthogonality of Sine orthogonality on a half period and the full-period integrals of odd -periodic functions one gets , for , and the function is odd and -periodic (Sine coefficients, sine series and the odd periodic extension, Sine and cosine defined by their real power series, The zero sets of sine and cosine and the least positive common period 2 pi).
The string theorem: the series (S) with , is , solves with the fixed-end conditions and the stated initial data, and obeys the tail bound with (The classical fixed-end string: the sine series solves the wave equation with the given data, uniquely, with an explicit tail bound).
Derivatives and values: , , , , and the modes solve the wave equation for every (d'Alembert's formula solves the wave equation, is the unique solution, and the fixed-end sine modes solve it exactly, The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, Sine and cosine defined by their real power series, Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine).
Verification
By [L1], , for ; similarly and for . Hence , , and all other coefficients vanish, so the series (S) collapses to .
By [L3] and step 1.1, and , so ; ; ; and .
For the constant of the theorem, and . Hence . Since the exact tail vanishes for , the bound holds trivially for every .
Remarks
- The finite datum exercises the theorem without any infinite tail; the numerical bound is valid because the general constant is valid, and the example shows explicitly that the general bound is not claimed to be sharp.
