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 driven oscillator on explicit data: the steady response, its amplitude maximum and a worked transient at m=k=1, f0=1, c=0.2, Ω=1

Physical scope

A worked check of the driven oscillator at the declared data m=k=1, f_0=1 N, c=0.2 kg/s, Omega=1 rad/s: the steady response 5 sin t and its verification by substitution, the amplitude 5 m at the drive frequency against the maximum value of the amplitude function and its location, the phase lag, the transient motion from rest and its exponential approach to the steady response, and the comparison with the undamped cases. The item asserts no measured value and no claim about a physical apparatus.

Example

Declare the sinusoidally driven oscillator model of The sinusoidally driven oscillator model: a prescribed external force f0cos⁡(Ωt) added to the damped oscillator with m=1 kg,k=1 N/m,f0=1 N,c=15 kg/s,Ω=1 s−1, so that the physical natural frequency is k/m=1 s−1. In the displayed calculations, t denotes the numerical SI time tphys/(1 s), and position formulas give numerical values in metres. Unless a physical unit is explicitly attached, parameters in those calculations also mean SI numerical values: m,k,c,f0 are normalized by 1 kg, 1 N/m, 1 kg/s and 1 N, respectively, and Ω,ω0,ωd,γ mean physical rates divided by 1 s−1. Thus the numerical drive is f(t)=cos⁡t, and derivatives of numerical position with respect to t give numerical velocity in metres per second. The claims checked below are:

  1. the steady response is xp(t)=5sin⁡t metres, a motion on R with amplitude A(1)=5 m and phase lag δ=π/2;
  2. the amplitude function A(Ω)=1/(1−Ω2)2+Ω2/25 attains its maximum at Ω∗=0.98=49/50 with the value A(Ω∗)=10/3.96, larger than A(1)=5;
  3. the motion with datum (0,0,0) is x(t)=5sin⁡t−5ωd e−t/10sin⁡(ωdt),ωd=0.99=99/10, which is bounded on [0,∞) and satisfies x(t)−xp(t)→0 and x′(t)−xp′(t)→0 as t→+∞;
  4. at c=0 the model with the same drive at Ω=1 has the unbounded motion tsin⁡t/2, while at Ω=2 every motion is bounded with amplitude 1/3 m for the steady response.

Verification

Proof technique: direct; substitute the displayed steady response into the equation, evaluate the amplitude function and its maximum, and solve the initial value problem explicitly.

Given: The driven model with m=k=1, f0=1, c=1/5, Ω=1, the steady response xp=5sin⁡t, and the amplitude function A.

[L1] General theory (The driven oscillator: steady response and amplitude profile, bounded damped and off-resonant motions, and unbounded undamped resonance, Sinusoidal forcing: the steady response, its amplitude and phase, and resonance at Ω=k/m, The amplitude of the sinusoidally forced damped oscillator: location and value of its maximum, The homogeneous damped oscillator: solution classification by the discriminant and uniqueness for initial data): for this model D=k−mΩ2+icΩ, xp=Re⁡(f0eiΩt/D) when D≠0, the amplitude is A(Ω)=∣f0∣/(k−mΩ2)2+c2Ω2, every motion is xp+ homogeneous, the transient decays for c>0, every maximal motion is bounded on [0,∞) for c>0, and for c=0 the exceptional frequency is Ω=ω0 with the unbounded response f0tsin⁡(ω0t)/(2mω0) and bounded motions otherwise. For c2<4mk, the homogeneous family is e−γt(Acos⁡(ωdt)+Bsin⁡(ωdt)), with γ=c/(2m) and ωd=k/m−γ2.

[L2] Derivatives and values: (sin⁡t)′=cos⁡t, (cos⁡t)′=−sin⁡t (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine), (eμt)′=μeμt (The exponential function is smooth and (exp⁡)′=exp⁡), products by the algebra of derivatives and composites by the chain rule; sin⁡(π/2)=1, cos⁡(π/2)=0 (Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi); sin⁡2+cos⁡2=1 and ∣cos⁡∣≤1 (Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine).

[L3] Dimensions of the underlying physical quantities (Dimensions and SI unit conventions of the non-relativistic classical mechanics framework): [m]=μ, [k]=μτ−2, [c]=μτ−1, [f0]=μℓτ−2, [Ω]=τ−1; the denominator D has the dimension of k, so f0/D carries length.

Parameters: ω0=1, cΩ=1/5, k−mΩ2=0, so D=i/5≠0, ∣D∣=1/5 and A(1)=∣f0∣/∣D∣=5 m. The general real form gives xp(t)=cos⁡t⋅0+sin⁡t⋅(1⋅(1/5))/(1/25)=5sin⁡t, and the substitution check is direct: xp′′+cxp′+kxp=−5sin⁡t+cos⁡t+5sin⁡t=cos⁡t by [L2], so xp is a motion on R. Taking δ=π/2 gives xp(t)=5cos⁡(t−π/2) with cos⁡δ=0 and sin⁡δ=1: the phase lag is π/2.

Amplitude maximum: A(Ω)=1/(1−Ω2)2+Ω2/25, so its continuous extension has A(0)=1 and A(1)=5. By [L1] and c2=1/25<2mk=2, the maximum occurs at Ω∗=k/m−c2/(2m2)=1−1/50=49/50 and equals 2m∣f0∣/(c4mk−c2)=10/99/25=50/(311)>5, since 311<10 because 99<100; hence the drive at the natural frequency is below the peak of the amplitude curve.

Transient from rest. By [L1] every motion equals xp+y with y homogeneous; with numerical rates γ=c/(2m)=1/10 and ωd=k/m−γ2=99/10, the homogeneous motions in numerical time are y=e−t/10(Acos⁡(ωdt)+Bsin⁡(ωdt)). The datum (0,0,0) forces A=0 and 5+ωdB=0 by [L2], that is x(t)=5sin⁡t−(5/ωd)e−t/10sin⁡(ωdt), the displayed motion; it is the unique maximal motion with that datum by clause 2 of The driven oscillator: steady response and amplitude profile, bounded damped and off-resonant motions, and unbounded undamped resonance.

Boundedness and convergence: for t≥0, ∣x(t)∣≤5+(5/ωd)e−t/10≤5+50/99<11, since 99>9 by [L2], and x(t)−xp(t)=−(5/ωd)e−t/10sin⁡(ωdt)→0 as t→+∞; differentiating the transient term with [L2] shows that it and its derivative both vanish at infinity, so x′(t)−xp′(t)→0; this is the convergence clause 3 of The driven oscillator: steady response and amplitude profile, bounded damped and off-resonant motions, and unbounded undamped resonance, with the explicit decay rate 1/10.

Undamped comparison. With c=0 the drive at Ω=ω0=1 is the exceptional case, and clause 5 of The driven oscillator: steady response and amplitude profile, bounded damped and off-resonant motions, and unbounded undamped resonance gives the unbounded motion tsin⁡t/2; with Ω=2 one has D=1−4=−3 and the steady amplitude A(2)=1/∣D∣=1/3 m, with every motion bounded by clause 4 of the same theorem.

Remarks

  • What the check exhibits. At the drive frequency equal to the natural frequency of the undamped model, the damped model's steady amplitude is 5 m, and the peak of the amplitude curve is at Ω∗=0.98 with value 10/3.96≈5.025 m; the transient from rest dies with rate 1/10 s−1. The dimensionless ratio A(ω0)/A(0)=5 is ω0/(2γ) in the notation of the source's quality factor. All decimal numbers here are approximations of the exact expressions displayed.

  • Scope. The data m=k=f0=1, c=1/5, Ω=1 are declared model data of this check; no measured value is asserted and no apparatus is claimed to be described by the model.
