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.

Finite-slab dependence need not have a uniform exponential constant

Statement

For the scalar symmetric-hyperbolic system on T2π3 ∂tz−2tz=0,A0=1,A1=A2=A3=0,B(t,x,z)=−2tz, the spatially constant solution with initial value z(0,x)=δ is zδ(t,x)=δexp⁡(t2). For every fixed finite slab [0,T], this solution depends continuously on δ and has a finite Sobolev bound. But no constants C>0 independent of T can give ∥zδ(T)−z0(T)∥Hs−1≤CeCT∥zδ(0)−z0(0)∥Hs−1 for all T>0 and all δ≠0. For each fixed T the state and time-derivative ranges are bounded, but the compact bound may depend on T. This is a mathematical symmetric-hyperbolic illustration of the horizon qualification; the system is not an Einstein reduction and the example asserts no behavior of an Einstein solution.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A dimensionless time parameter t≥0, an integer s≥5, a fixed finite T>0, and a real initial amplitude δ.

[F1]

The symmetric-hyperbolic system is A0∂tz+∑iAi∂iz+B=0 with symmetric matrices and positive definite A0 (Periodic first-order symmetric hyperbolic systems: coefficients, admissible values, data classes and solutions).

[F2]

The real exponential is defined by its power series. Every factorial is a nonzero natural, and positive canonical naturals have positive real image; thus for y≥0 each series term is nonnegative and exp⁡(y)≥1+y>0 (The real exponential function and the number e by a power series, The factorial n! and the falling factorial nk‾, defined by recursion in N, Canonical naturals are positive and strictly increasing).

[F3]

The real exponential is smooth with derivative (exp⁡)′=exp⁡ (The exponential function is smooth and (exp⁡)′=exp⁡).

[F4]

The exponential satisfies exp⁡(x+y)=exp⁡(x)exp⁡(y) (The exponential addition formula exp⁡(x+y)=exp⁡(x)exp⁡(y)).

[F5]

The finite-slab estimate permits its constant to depend on the selected compact slab and coefficient bounds (Finite-slab stability in a fixed hyperbolic gauge).

[F6]

The finite-domain geometric continuity conclusion is stated on a fixed slab and asserts no uniformity as T→∞ (Continuity of finite-domain geometric observables).

Proof technique: explicit solution and growth comparison.

Proof

1.1givenF1algebra

The coefficients in the Statement are smooth in (t,x,z), each Aμ is symmetric, and A0=1 is strictly positive. Thus [F1] makes this a symmetric-hyperbolic system. Its equation reduces to ∂tz=2tz and contains no spatial derivatives.

2.1givenstep 1.1F3F5algebra

By [F3] and the chain rule, zδ(t,x)=δexp⁡(t2) satisfies ∂tzδ=2tδexp⁡(t2)=2tzδ and zδ(0,x)=δ. The zero solution corresponds to δ=0. For each finite T, the function δexp⁡(t2) and its time derivative are bounded on [0,T]; its values lie between the endpoint values δ and δexp⁡(T2), hence in a compact interval. Since it is spatially constant, it has finite Hs norm for every integer s. Its state and time-derivative bounds may depend on the selected finite T, as permitted by the finite-slab estimate [F5].

3.1step 2.1F2F4algebra

The difference from zero is exactly δexp⁡(t2). Homogeneity of the Sobolev norm on the spatially constant profile gives ∥zδ(T)−z0(T)∥Hs−1∥zδ(0)−z0(0)∥Hs−1=∣δ∣exp⁡(T2)∥1∥Hs−1∣δ∣∥1∥Hs−1=exp⁡(T2). Suppose one constant C>0 worked for all slab lengths in the displayed exponential estimate. Choose T large enough that y:=T2−CT>C. Then y>0, and [F2] gives exp⁡(y)≥1+y>C. By [F4], exp⁡(T2)=exp⁡(CT+y)=exp⁡(CT)exp⁡(y)>Cexp⁡(CT), since [F2] also gives exp⁡(CT)>0. This contradicts that uniform estimate.

4.1step 3.1F5F6algebra∎

For each fixed T, the exact solution map is multiplication by exp⁡(t2) and is Lipschitz on [0,T] with finite constant exp⁡(T2); this is consistent with [F5] and [F6], whose constants and conclusions are attached to a fixed finite slab. The calculation establishes only that finite-slab continuity alone does not supply a T-independent exponential constant for general symmetric-hyperbolic systems.
