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.

The two-equation interface admittance system: solution formulas and the normal-flux identity

Statement

Let Y1,Y2∈C with Y1+Y2≠0, and let Ei,Er,Et∈C satisfy the two linear equations

Ei+Er=Et,Y1(Ei−Er)=Y2Et.

Then: (a) [Solution] If Ei≠0, then r:=ErEi=Y1−Y2Y1+Y2,t:=EtEi=2Y1Y1+Y2; if Ei=0 then Er=Et=0 and the field ratios are undefined. Throughout (b)-(d), r,t denote the displayed algebraic transfer coefficients (Y1−Y2)/(Y1+Y2) and 2Y1/(Y1+Y2), which are defined independently of Ei; when Ei≠0 they equal the field ratios of (a). (b) [Normal-flux identity] If Y1>0 is real (the incident side admittance), then ∣r∣2+Re⁡Y2Y1 ∣t∣2=1, and explicitly ∣t∣2=4Y12∣Y1+Y2∣2 and ∣r∣2=1−4Y1Re⁡Y2∣Y1+Y2∣2. The second summand (Re⁡Y2/Y1)∣t∣2 is nonnegative if and only if Re⁡Y2≥0; it is the normal-flux coefficient of a passive transmitted medium and may be negative for an active one, in which case ∣r∣>1 and the identity carries no energy-conservation reading. (c) [Pure-imaginary admittance] If Y1>0 is real and Y2 is purely imaginary, then ∣r∣=1, Re⁡Y2 ∣t∣2=0 and ∣t∣2=4Y12Y12+∣Y2∣2>0; in particular r≠0 and t≠0. (d) [Real-positive specialisation] If Y1,Y2>0 are real, then r=(Y1−Y2)/(Y1+Y2) and t=2Y1/(Y1+Y2) are real and ∣r∣2+(Y2/Y1)∣t∣2=1; with Yj=1/Zj, Zj>0, this is r=(Z2−Z1)/(Z1+Z2), t=2Z2/(Z1+Z2) and R+T=1 for R=∣r∣2, T=(Z1/Z2)∣t∣2, in agreement with The two-equation interface system at normal incidence. (e) [Scope] The lemma is pure algebra of C; the labels 'incident', 'reflected' and 'transmitted' and the interpretation of the second summand as a flux fraction belong to the consuming physical theorem, not to this lemma.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Complex numbers Y1,Y2 with Y1+Y2≠0 and complex numbers Ei,Er,Et satisfying Ei+Er=Et and Y1(Ei−Er)=Y2Et; the transfer coefficients r=(Y1−Y2)/(Y1+Y2) and t=2Y1/(Y1+Y2).

[F1]

Field arithmetic in C: C is a field, every element has the unique form a+bi with a,b∈R, addition and multiplication follow the coordinate formulas, (a+bi)−1=(a−bi)/(a2+b2) for a+bi≠0, and a product of nonzero field elements is nonzero (The complex numbers as R[x]/(x2+1), with the real embedding and imaginary unit i, C=R[x]/(x2+1) is a field, every element is uniquely a+bi, and every nonzero element has inverse (a−bi)/(a2+b2)).

[F2]

Conjugation and modulus: zz‾=∣z∣2, ∣zw∣=∣z∣∣w∣, ∣z∣≥0 with ∣z∣=0 exactly for z=0, conjugation is an involutive real-field automorphism fixing every real number, and ∣z‾∣=∣z∣ (Real and imaginary parts, complex conjugation, and modulus, Conjugation is an involutive real-field automorphism, zz‾=∣z∣2, and modulus is definite, multiplicative, and subadditive).

[F3]

Real order: the real numbers form an ordered field with positive cone P (Ordered field): by trichotomy a positive real is nonzero, and by closure sums and products of positive reals are positive; the same axioms give that the product of two nonzero reals of equal sign is positive and of opposite signs is negative, and that division by the positive real Y1 preserves the sign of a quotient, since a=(a/Y1)Y1 has the sign of a/Y1 when Y1>0.

[F4]

Squares in an ordered field: the square of a nonzero element is positive (Squares of nonzero elements are positive), and for a,b≥0 one has a<b if and only if a2<b2 (Squaring is monotone on the nonnegatives).

[F5]

The normal-incidence interface lemma The two-equation interface system at normal incidence: for real εj,μj>0, Zj=μj/εj>0, and Ei,Er,Et∈C with Ei≠0 satisfying Ei+Er=Et and (Ei−Er)/Z1=Et/Z2, one has Er/Ei=(Z2−Z1)/(Z1+Z2), Et/Ei=2Z2/(Z1+Z2), and R+T=1 for R=∣Er/Ei∣2, T=(Z1/Z2)∣Et/Ei∣2.

Proof

technique · direct; solve the two linear equations by substitution, expand the moduli with $|z|^2=z\overline z$, and read the sign statements off the ordered-field structure of $\mathbb R$
1.1givenF1algebra

[Solution of the linear system] Substituting the first equation Er=Et−Ei into the second gives Y1(2Ei−Et)=Y2Et, that is 2Y1Ei=(Y1+Y2)Et after expanding and collecting terms by the field arithmetic of [F1]. Since Y1+Y2≠0 is invertible in the field C by [F1], Et=2Y1Ei/(Y1+Y2), and then Er=Et−Ei=(2Y1−(Y1+Y2))Ei/(Y1+Y2)=(Y1−Y2)Ei/(Y1+Y2), again by [F1].

2.1step 1.1F1algebra

[Consequences of the solution] If Ei≠0, dividing the two identities of step 1.1 by Ei gives r=Er/Ei=(Y1−Y2)/(Y1+Y2) and t=Et/Ei=2Y1/(Y1+Y2). If Ei=0, the identities of step 1.1 give Et=0 and Er=0, so no field ratio exists; the algebraic expressions r=(Y1−Y2)/(Y1+Y2) and t=2Y1/(Y1+Y2) remain defined because Y1+Y2≠0, and they agree with the field ratios whenever the latter exist. This proves (a) and the convention stated before (b).

3.1step 2.1F2algebra

[Modular expansions] For any z,w∈C, ∣z±w∣2=(z±w)(z‾±w‾)=∣z∣2±(zw‾+z‾w)+∣w∣2, and zw‾+z‾w=2Re⁡(zw‾) by [F2]; hence for real Y1 and arbitrary Y2, ∣Y1±Y2∣2=Y12±2Y1Re⁡Y2+∣Y2∣2, and subtraction gives ∣Y1+Y2∣2−∣Y1−Y2∣2=4Y1Re⁡Y2. Moreover ∣r∣2=∣Y1−Y2∣2/∣Y1+Y2∣2 and ∣t∣2=4Y12/∣Y1+Y2∣2: indeed ∣zw∣=∣z∣∣w∣ and ∣z∣2=zz‾ by [F2] applied to the quotients of step 2.1 give ∣r∣2=∣Y1−Y2∣2∣Y1+Y2∣−2 and ∣t∣2=∣2Y1∣2∣Y1+Y2∣−2=4Y12∣Y1+Y2∣−2 because (2Y1)(2Y1)‾=4Y12 for real Y1, and the denominator is nonzero since Y1+Y2≠0.

4.1step 3.1F1F2F3algebra

[The flux identity] Assume Y1>0 real. By [F2] and [F3], ∣Y1+Y2∣2>0, so ∣t∣2=4Y12/∣Y1+Y2∣2>0, and the identity of step 3.1 gives ∣r∣2=∣Y1−Y2∣2/∣Y1+Y2∣2=1−4Y1Re⁡Y2/∣Y1+Y2∣2; adding (Re⁡Y2/Y1)∣t∣2=4Y1Re⁡Y2/∣Y1+Y2∣2 cancels the correction and yields ∣r∣2+(Re⁡Y2/Y1)∣t∣2=1, the displayed identity and explicit formulas of (b).

5.1step 4.1F3F4algebra

[Sign analysis] Still with Y1>0 real: since ∣t∣2>0 by step 4.1, the second summand (Re⁡Y2/Y1)∣t∣2 has the sign of Re⁡Y2 by [F3], so it is nonnegative if and only if Re⁡Y2≥0. If Re⁡Y2<0, then ∣r∣2=1−4Y1Re⁡Y2/∣Y1+Y2∣2>1, and since ∣r∣≥0 and 1≥0, [F4] gives ∣r∣>1; in that case the identity of step 4.1 has a negative transmitted term and carries no energy-conservation reading, while ∣r∣>1 alone is consistent with an active transmitted model.

5.2step 4.1step 3.1F2F3algebra

[Purely imaginary admittance] Assume Y1>0 real and Y2=iβ with β∈R. Then Y1+Y2‾=Y1−iβ=Y1−Y2 by [F2], so ∣Y1−Y2∣=∣Y1+Y2‾∣=∣Y1+Y2∣ by [F2] and step 3.1 gives ∣r∣=1; the identity of step 4.1 then gives Re⁡Y2 ∣t∣2=0 (multiplying the identity by Y1>0 and using ∣r∣2=1), while ∣t∣2=4Y12/∣Y1+Y2∣2=4Y12/(Y12+β2)=4Y12/(Y12+∣Y2∣2)>0 by [F2] and [F3]; hence r≠0 because ∣r∣=1 and t≠0 because ∣t∣>0 by the definiteness of the modulus in [F2]. This proves (c); no division by Re⁡Y2=0 is performed, and the case Y2=0 is included with β=0.

5.3step 4.1step 2.1F1F5algebra

[Real-positive specialisation] Assume Y1,Y2>0 real. Then Y1−Y2 is real and Y1+Y2>0 is real and nonzero, so r,t of step 2.1 are real by [F1], and step 4.1 gives ∣r∣2+(Y2/Y1)∣t∣2=1 because Re⁡Y2=Y2. Substituting Yj=1/Zj with Zj>0 real, Yj is invertible and 1/Z1±1/Z2=(Z2±Z1)/(Z1Z2) by [F1], so r=(Z2−Z1)/(Z1+Z2) and t=2Z2/(Z1+Z2) by cancellation of the nonzero factor Z1Z2; moreover Y2/Y1=Z1/Z2 by [F1], so the balance is R+T=1 for R=∣r∣2 and T=(Z1/Z2)∣t∣2. These are exactly the solution formulas and the balance of [F5], so clause (d) is in agreement with The two-equation interface system at normal incidence.

6.1givenF1F5algebra∎

[Scope] Clause (e) holds: the entire argument is algebra in the field C together with the ordered-field arithmetic of the real scalars Y1,Re⁡Y2; no wave model, no labelling of the amplitudes and no interpretation of the second summand is used, and no choice principle occurs, all divisions being by explicitly nonzero field elements.
