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 ω>0 and let F:R×R2→R2, F(t,z1,z2):=(z2,−ω2z1), the vector field of the undamped plane oscillator. Since F does not depend on t, it is P-periodic for every P>0; it is continuous and locally Lipschitz in the state variable, so The stroboscopic (time-P) map of a P-periodic first-order system applies for every P>0.

For z=(z1,z2)∈R2 the curve

xz(t)=(z1cos⁡ωt+z2ωsin⁡ωt, −ωz1sin⁡ωt+z2cos⁡ωt)

is defined on all of R and solves x′=F(t,x) with x(0)=z. Hence DP=R2 for every P>0, and the stroboscopic map is

θP(z)=(z1cos⁡ωP+z2ωsin⁡ωP, −ωz1sin⁡ωP+z2cos⁡ωP).

In particular, for P=2π/ω the map θP is the identity of R2, so every initial state is a fixed point; for P=π/ω it is θP(z)=−z, whose only fixed point is 0.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A number ω>0 and the field F(t,z1,z2)=(z2,−ω2z1).

[L1]

The stroboscopic map of a continuous P-periodic field, locally Lipschitz in the state variable, is defined on DP={z:[0,P]⊆Jz} by θP(z)=xz(P), where xz is the unique maximal solution through (0,z); every solution through (0,z) is a restriction of xz (The stroboscopic (time-P) map of a P-periodic first-order system, Every Picard–Lindelöf initial value problem has one maximal solution on an open interval).

[L2]

The derivatives of sine and cosine are (sin⁡)′=cos⁡, (cos⁡)′=−sin⁡, with sin⁡0=0, cos⁡0=1. The shift identities sin⁡(x+π)=−sin⁡x, cos⁡(x+π)=−cos⁡x give sin⁡π=sin⁡2π=0, cos⁡π=−1, cos⁡2π=1 (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).

[L3]

The system is autonomous, so F(t,z)=F(0,z) for all t. For z,w∈R2,

∥F(t,z)−F(t,w)∥22=(z2−w2)2+ω4(z1−w1)2≤max⁡{1,ω4}∥z−w∥22,

so F is globally Lipschitz in the state variable with constant max⁡{1,ω2} 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 ⟨x,y⟩=∑k<nxkyk on Rn).

1.1givenL2algebra

Differentiating the two components of the displayed xz with respect to t using [L2] gives xz′(t)=(−ωz1sin⁡ωt+z2cos⁡ωt, −ω2z1cos⁡ωt−ωz2sin⁡ωt), whose first component is the second component of xz and whose second component is −ω2 times the first component of xz; hence xz′=F(t,xz) on all of R, and xz(0)=(z1,z2)=z because sin⁡0=0 and cos⁡0=1.

2.1step 1.1L1L3

The curve of step 1.1 is a solution on all of R; by [L1] and [L3], every solution of the initial value problem with data (0,z) is a restriction of the unique maximal solution xz, whose domain is an open interval. Since a solution with domain R exists, that maximal domain is all of R; hence [0,P]⊆Jz for every P and DP=R2. Substituting t=P in step 1.1 gives the displayed formula for θP(z) for every P>0.

3.1step 2.1L2algebra∎

If P=2π/ω then cos⁡ωP=1 and sin⁡ωP=0, so θP(z)=(z1,z2)=z for every z; if P=π/ω then cos⁡ωP=−1 and sin⁡ωP=0, so θP(z)=(−z1,−z2)=−z, which equals z only for z=0. 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 DP=R2 here, every iterate is defined and θPk(z)=xz(kP); for P=2π/ω this makes every iterate the identity.

  • The map θP is a linear map of R2 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.
