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.
Explicit hypothesis and convention check for the moving-patch flux
Example
Throughout this Example and Verification, the spatial labels are local one-based names: for , , , , and denotes the canonical coordinate derivative under this relabeling. Thus the locally named has canonical coordinate at and at the other coordinates; the tuples, inner product, cross product, divergence and curl retain the canonical meanings of The Euclidean inner product on , The cross product in and Divergence and curl of a vector field. This local notation does not change the zero-based indices of Localization: vanishing integrals or fluxes force a continuous function to vanish.
Take the unit square as parameter region, an open interval , a function with everywhere, and
Then is of class on the open set , the tangent vectors are and with on , the field is constant with , and is on with ; so the data satisfy the standing hypotheses of Moving parametrized surface patches and their flux. For every the parametrized flux is , hence ; the fixed-time surface integral of is ; and , so patch Stokes gives , exactly the sign in the formula of Transport of flux through a moving patch. Dropping the term — that is, treating the moving patch as fixed — would leave , which the direct derivative contradicts whenever . All maps are of the stated regularity and no singular support is involved; the example verifies the sign convention and the necessity of the motion term, and asserts no physical law.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The unit square ; an open interval ; a function with ; the maps , , displayed in the Example; and a fixed time .
Moving patch and transport identity: in the setting of Moving parametrized surface patches and their flux under the declared , with on its domain, the flux is differentiable on and, at every at which is nonvanishing on , satisfies , with the induced orientation and boundary chain (Transport of flux through a moving patch).
The unit square is an elementary Green region: with , , , on , the set has both the Type I description and the analogous Type II description, so it is a compact elementary Green region, hence a finite elementary Green region, and it is compact and Jordan measurable; its volume is (Type I, Type II, and elementary regions for Green's theorem, Axis-parallel rectangles in and their volume).
Integrals of constants over : for every constant , the Riemann integral over the Jordan set is . Indeed is its own nondegenerate bounding rectangle, so by The Riemann integral of a bounded function over a bounded Jordan measurable set is the Darboux integral of over ; on every cell of every grid partition both the infimum and the supremum of equal , so every lower and upper Darboux sum equals by Lower and upper Darboux sums over a grid partition in , The lower and upper Darboux integrals over a nondegenerate rectangle in and Grid partitions of a rectangle in , their cells, refinements and mesh, whence the common value is (Axis-parallel rectangles in and their volume).
Calculus and vector analysis rules: makes of class on and of class jointly in ( Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms, Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: , , , and when ); the product rule gives , and the time derivative of the constant field satisfies ; with the Example's local coordinate relabeling, the partial derivatives, divergence, curl, cross product and Euclidean inner product are those of Divergence and curl of a vector field, The cross product in and The Euclidean inner product on (The chain rule for total derivatives: ).
Patch Stokes: for a patch over a finite elementary Green region and a field on a neighbourhood of its image, , with the induced boundary chain, the positive boundary orientation and the line integrals as cited (The classical Stokes theorem for a patch over a finite elementary Green region, The induced boundary chain and circulation of a patch over a finite elementary Green region, Positive orientation of elementary-region boundaries, Scalar line integrals with respect to arc length and vector-field line integrals, Unit normal fields, orientations, and flux through a regular surface patch).
Verification
Setting and regularity. The map is of class on the open set , since it is polynomial in with coefficients, with , and on because ; further is jointly, and , while for the constant field . Thus the geometric and analytic hypotheses of [L1] hold, and is the elementary Green region of [L2]. At each time has connected interior and is injective since , so it is a regular patch for the Stokes application [L5].
The flux and its derivative. At each , , a constant in ; hence by [L3] . Therefore for every by the product rule of [L4].
The two terms on the right-hand side. Since is constant, and the surface integral vanishes. For the boundary term, [L4] gives and then at time ; consequently is constant on , and patch Stokes [L5] together with the constant-integral fact [L3] gives .
Comparison. The direct computations of steps 2.1 and 2.2 give , so the transport formula holds here by direct computation without Choice; under the declared it also instantiates Transport of flux through a moving patch, with the boundary term contributing to ; if that boundary term is dropped, the identity would read , contradicting step 2.1 whenever . The example therefore checks the sign convention and the necessity of the motion term at the stated / regularity without singular support, and it asserts no physical law.
Remarks
- When is constant, is constant, both terms of the identity vanish, and the contrast with the fixed-patch reading disappears; the example's discriminating case is therefore any with .
- The computation uses no choice principle; it is finite algebra and one application of the published Stokes theorem for a patch over the unit square.
