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.
Elementary bounds for the periodic average, the deviation and its time derivative
Statement
Let , , open, and let be continuous, continuously partially differentiable in the second variable and -periodic in time, with average , oscillatory part and periodic deviation as in Periodic averaging data: the average field, the oscillatory part and the periodic deviation (Intervals of : the nine order-convex forms, nondegeneracy, and length). Here denotes the total derivative in the state variable, with coordinate columns ; it exists and is continuous by If all partial derivatives exist on a neighbourhood and are continuous at a point, then the map is totally differentiable there with Jacobian derivative. The same notation is used for and when those total derivatives exist. Let , with (Open ball, closed ball and sphere in a metric space) and let satisfy
Then:
- and for all .
- is -periodic and for every and ; moreover for all and .
- for every ; consequently for and for all and .
- has continuous first partial derivatives on ; its partial derivative in the second variable is , and for , , with the operator norm on (The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum). In particular is totally differentiable at every point of (If all partial derivatives exist on a neighbourhood and are continuous at a point, then the map is totally differentiable there with Jacobian derivative).
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The data of Periodic averaging data: the average field, the oscillatory part and the periodic deviation, the ball centre , radius , constants , and the derived objects and .
is continuous in ; for fixed , is continuous on and hence Riemann integrable there; the integrals below are componentwise oriented integrals (Periodic averaging data: the average field, the oscillatory part and the periodic deviation, The derivative and the Riemann integral of a vector-valued function: an intrinsic derivative and a componentwise integral, Vector-valued functions , their limits and continuity, with the dictionary to the metric notions).
For integrable vector-valued and : , and for real integrable : ; for constant and : (For and integrable when , ; for , is integrable, If on and both are integrable then ; and ).
Fundamental theorem of calculus: if is continuous on an interval and , then is a primitive of on (Every continuous function on an interval has a primitive; two primitives differ by a constant; and for any primitive ); in particular has derivative at every point of , and a periodic function is determined by its values on .
Leibniz's rule on a compact rectangle (Leibniz's rule on a compact rectangle: an interior parameter derivative with a continuous extension may be passed through a Riemann integral): if are continuous and for every fixed the slice is differentiable with derivative , then has derivative . The componentwise application of this rule to (whose partial derivatives in the state variable are continuous by hypothesis) supplies the identities of step 3.1 (If all partial derivatives exist on a neighbourhood and are continuous at a point, then the map is totally differentiable there with Jacobian derivative for the passage from partial derivatives to the total derivative).
A continuous scalar function on an interval with zero derivative at every interior point is constant (A function continuous on an interval whose derivative vanishes at every interior point of is constant on ; consequently two such functions with the same derivative differ by a constant); applying this to every coordinate gives the same assertion for vector-valued functions.
Proof
Bounds for : for , by [F2]; and for in the ball, again by [F2] and the assumed Lipschitz bound; this is clause 1.
Bounds for : for and in the ball, step 1.1 and [F2] give and for in the ball, Since is -periodic by its definition (it satisfies and ), the same bounds hold for all ; this is clause 2.
Time derivative: fix and put , a continuous -valued function; on the fundamental theorem [F4] gives . At the right difference quotient converges to , while for periodicity reduces the quotient to the left derivative of at , namely by periodicity of ; the same argument at every shows the derivative exists there with the same value, and away from these points it is . Hence everywhere. The oriented integral has the same derivative by [F4], so has zero derivative and vanishes at zero; [F6] gives for every real . The bounds on follow from the triangle inequality and step 1.1: and ; this is clause 3.
Second-variable derivative and its norm bound: first fix . For in the open ball and any unit vector , the assumed state-Lipschitz estimate gives for every sufficiently small nonzero ; taking yields . For a boundary point , the sequence lies in the open ball and tends to , so continuity of gives the same bound at . Taking the supremum over unit proves throughout the closed ball. Next fix any and a component index . The map , with near , is continuous and has continuous partial derivatives in ; [F5] applied componentwise at fixed and gives (first for in a compact interval, then by additivity for all ), and likewise . For and every unit , the vector integral inequality [F2] now gives , hence . Using the all-time integral identity of step 2.2, , continuously in . For , and every unit , another application of [F2] gives Taking the supremum over unit proves on one period; periodicity gives the same bound for all . This proves clause 4.
