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 , both series converge absolutely. Equivalently, both power series have infinite radius of convergence.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A real .
The two displayed series are real power series with the absolute terms and ; factorial denominators are positive (A real power series about a centre, its interval of convergence, and its radius in , Integer powers , The factorial and the falling factorial , defined by recursion in , Canonical naturals are positive and strictly increasing).
The ratio test proves absolute convergence when the ratio of successive absolute terms tends to a limit less than one (Ratio test: gives absolute convergence and hence convergence, and gives divergence).
Proof
If , the sine series is identically zero and the cosine series has only its initial term ; both converge absolutely.
If , every absolute term is nonzero. The successive sine-term ratio is , and the successive cosine-term ratio is ; both tend to .
For , the ratio test proves absolute convergence of both series. Together with step 1.1 this covers every real .
