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 sine and cosine power series converge absolutely for every real argument

Statement

For every real x, both series ∑n=0∞(−1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!and∑n=0∞(−1)nx2n(2n)! converge absolutely. Equivalently, both power series have infinite radius of convergence.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A real x.

[L1]

The two displayed series are real power series with the absolute terms ∣x∣2n+1/(2n+1)! and ∣x∣2n/(2n)!; factorial denominators are positive (A real power series about a centre, its interval of convergence, and its radius in [0,+∞], Integer powers am, The factorial n! and the falling factorial nk‾, defined by recursion in N, Canonical naturals are positive and strictly increasing).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1L1algebra

If x=0, the sine series is identically zero and the cosine series has only its initial term 1; both converge absolutely.

1.2L1algebra

If x≠0, every absolute term is nonzero. The successive sine-term ratio is ∣x∣2/((2n+2)(2n+3)), and the successive cosine-term ratio is ∣x∣2/((2n+1)(2n+2)); both tend to 0.

2.1step 1.1step 1.2L2∎

For x≠0, the ratio test proves absolute convergence of both series. Together with step 1.1 this covers every real x.
