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 stroboscopic map of the plane oscillator
Example
Let and let , , the vector field of the undamped plane oscillator. Since does not depend on , it is -periodic for every ; it is continuous and locally Lipschitz in the state variable, so The stroboscopic (time-) map of a -periodic first-order system applies for every .
For the curve
is defined on all of and solves with . Hence for every , and the stroboscopic map is
In particular, for the map is the identity of , so every initial state is a fixed point; for it is , whose only fixed point is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A number and the field .
The stroboscopic map of a continuous -periodic field, locally Lipschitz in the state variable, is defined on by , where is the unique maximal solution through ; every solution through is a restriction of (The stroboscopic (time-) map of a -periodic first-order system, Every Picard–Lindelöf initial value problem has one maximal solution on an open interval).
The derivatives of sine and cosine are , , with , . The shift identities , give , , (Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi). Vector-valued curves are differentiated componentwise (Sine and cosine defined by their real power series, 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).
The system is autonomous, so for all . For ,
so is globally Lipschitz in the state variable with constant and is continuous; it satisfies the Picard-Lindelof hypotheses (Every Picard–Lindelöf initial value problem has one maximal solution on an open interval, The Euclidean inner product on ).
Verification
Differentiating the two components of the displayed with respect to using [L2] gives , whose first component is the second component of and whose second component is times the first component of ; hence on all of , and because and .
The curve of step 1.1 is a solution on all of ; by [L1] and [L3], every solution of the initial value problem with data is a restriction of the unique maximal solution , whose domain is an open interval. Since a solution with domain exists, that maximal domain is all of ; hence for every and . Substituting in step 1.1 gives the displayed formula for for every .
If then and , so for every ; if then and , so , which equals only for . This proves the two special cases.
Remarks
-
The example verifies the iterate identity of Iterates of the stroboscopic map, and equilibria as fixed points implicitly: since here, every iterate is defined and ; for this makes every iterate the identity.
-
The map is a linear map of and preserves the area element; no symplectic or stability conclusion is drawn here, since those notions belong to the symplectic items and to the stability definitions of this collection.
