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.

Capillary dispersion reduces to gravity waves

Example

Fix h,g,ρ,k>0, an amplitude a∈R, and σ≥0. Let

ωσ=(gk+σρk3)tanh⁡(kh),ω0=gktanh⁡(kh),G(z)=cosh⁡(k(z+h))cosh⁡(kh).

Then ωσ=ω0 when σ=0, and the capillary-gravity mode in the theorem specializes to

η0=aC(kx−ω0t),ϕ0=agω0G(z)S(kx−ω0t),

the finite-depth gravity-wave mode. Moreover, with h,g,ρ,k fixed,

lim⁡σ↓0ωσ=ω0.

This is an exact parameter specialization and one-sided limit within the linear mathematical model, not a nonlinear-wave result or an experimental observation. In the optional SI interpretation, [h]=m, [g]=m s−2, [ρ]=kg m−3, [k]=m−1, [σ]=N m−1, [a]=m, and [ωσ]=s−1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The positive parameters, amplitude, and frequency definitions in the Example.

[F1]

Capillary-gravity dispersion and conserved linear surface energy: for h,g,ρ,k>0 and σ≥0, ωσ2=(gk+σk3/ρ)tanh⁡(kh) and the positive-frequency mode has potential coefficient aωσ/(ktanh⁡(kh)).

[F2]

Finite-depth gravity-wave dispersion with quantitative limits: for h,g,k>0, ω0=gktanh⁡(kh)>0 and the finite-depth gravity mode has potential coefficient ag/ω0.

Verification

1.1givenF1F2algebra

Setting σ=0 in [F1] gives ωσ2=gktanh⁡(kh)=ω02. Both frequencies are positive by [F1] and [F2], so ωσ=ω0. The capillary mode's potential coefficient satisfies aω0/(ktanh⁡(kh))=ag/ω0 because ω02=gktanh⁡(kh) and ktanh⁡(kh)>0. Thus both the elevation and potential specialize exactly as stated; no division by a is used.

2.1givenF1F2algebra∎

For σ≥0, ωσ2−ω02=σk3tanh⁡(kh)/ρ≥0, so the positive roots satisfy ωσ≥ω0. For σ>0, rationalizing gives ωσ−ω0=(ωσ2−ω02)/(ωσ+ω0)=(σk3tanh⁡(kh)/ρ)/(ωσ+ω0). The numerator tends to zero as σ↓0, while ωσ+ω0≥ω0>0. Hence the quotient tends to zero and ωσ→ω0.
