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 symbol windows determine the code: locality of the iterates, coding continuity and injectivity of h(σ)=(x−1(σ),x0(σ))

Statement

Fix a≥100 and let R=a+3, L=a−2R, X±, D± and BR be as in The two-sign bilateral shift space, its coding map, and the ball of bounded bilateral real sequences and The square-root recurrence Ts(x)n=sna+xn−1+xn+1 is a contraction of BR with a unique coded solution. Define the quadratic phase map

F:R2⟶R2,F(x,y):=(y,  y2−a−x),

and for each s∈X± let x(s) be the unique fixed point of Ts in BR. Define the coding map

h:X±⟶R2,h(s):=(x−1(s), x0(s)).

Then:

  1. F is a bijection with F−1(x,y)=(x2−a−y, x), and for every s∈X± and n∈Z

F(xn−1(s),xn(s))=(xn(s),xn+1(s));

  1. (locality) for all m≥0, n∈Z and s,t∈X±: if sj=tj for all j with ∣j−n∣≤m−1, then (Tsm0)n=(Ttm0)n, where Tsm is the m-fold iterate and 0 the zero sequence;
  2. (uniform error) for all m≥0 and s∈X±,

∥Tsm0−x(s)∥∞≤2R L−m;

  1. (coding continuity) if s,t∈X± agree at every coordinate j with ∣j∣≤m, then ∣xn(s)−xn(t)∣≤4R L−m for n∈{−1,0}, and consequently

∥h(s)−h(t)∥2≤42 R L−m;

in particular h is continuous at every s∈X± (Continuity of a map between metric spaces, at a point and globally, in the ε-δ form) when X± carries D± and R2 the Euclidean metric;

  1. (injectivity) h is injective.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The parameter a≥100, the constants R,L, the shift spaces X±, the balls BR, the operators Ts, their fixed points x(s) of The square-root recurrence Ts(x)n=sna+xn−1+xn+1 is a contraction of BR with a unique coded solution, the map F and the coding map h displayed above.

[F1]

Fixed point data (The square-root recurrence Ts(x)n=sna+xn−1+xn+1 is a contraction of BR with a unique coded solution): for each s∈X±, x(s)∈BR, Tsx(s)=x(s), sign⁡xn(s)=sn, ∣xn(s)∣≥L and xn+1(s)+xn−1(s)=xn(s)2−a for all n. The iterate convention for Tsm is the one fixed in that lemma.

[F2]

Banach error estimate (The a priori bound d(x∗,xn)≤qnd(x1,x0)/(1−q) and the a posteriori bound d(x∗,xn+1)≤q d(xn+1,xn)/(1−q), A contraction of a nonempty complete metric space into itself has exactly one fixed point, the limit of the iterates from any starting point, Lipschitz map, α-Hölder map for rational 0<α≤1, and contraction): for a contraction with constant q<1 on a complete metric space, the iterates from any starting point x0 satisfy d(x∗,xm)≤qmd(x1,x0)/(1−q); here q=1/L, L≥74>2, so 1/(1−1/L)=L/(L−1)≤2.

[F3]

Ball and metric data (The two-sign bilateral shift space, its coding map, and the ball of bounded bilateral real sequences, The bounded functions on a set form a complete metric space in the supremum metric, and the coding map of the two-sign shift space is an isometry, The square-root recurrence Ts(x)n=sna+xn−1+xn+1 is a contraction of BR with a unique coded solution clauses 1-3, Metric space: d(x,y)=0 iff x=y, symmetry, and the triangle inequality; pseudometric and ultrametric): 0∈BR; ∥y∥∞≤R for y∈BR; Ts maps BR into itself and contracts with constant 1/L<1; therefore induction gives ∥Tsm0∥∞≤R for every m≥0; the distance on X± is D±(s,t)=d2(φ(s),φ(t)) with the metric d2 of X2={0,1}Z.

[F4]

Cylinders and balls in the binary space (The bilateral shift metric is a metric, cylinders are its basic balls, and the shift space is sequentially compact, clause 2): with u,v∈X2 and Fm:={−m,…,m}, if d2(u,v)<2−m then uj=vj for ∣j∣≤m; under the isometry φ of The bounded functions on a set form a complete metric space in the supremum metric, and the coding map of the two-sign shift space is an isometry this says for s,t∈X±: if D±(s,t)<2−m then sj=tj for ∣j∣≤m.

[F5]

Absolute value, order and the sequence 0 (Absolute value in an ordered field, Basic properties of the absolute value, The triangle inequality, The two-sign bilateral shift space, its coding map, and the ball of bounded bilateral real sequences): ∣uv∣=∣u∣∣v∣, ∣u+w∣≤∣u∣+∣w∣, ∣u∣≤M if and only if −M≤u≤M for M≥0, and the zero sequence satisfies (Ts00)n=0.

[F6]

Continuity in a metric space (Continuity of a map between metric spaces, at a point and globally, in the ε-δ form, Open ball, closed ball and sphere in a metric space, Convergence of a sequence in a metric space: xk→x iff d(xk,x)→0 in R): h is continuous at s when for every ε>0 there is δ>0 such that D±(s,t)<δ implies ∥h(s)−h(t)∥2<ε.

Proof

technique · direct; an induction on $m$ for the finite window, the a priori Banach estimate for the uniform error, and the explicit inverse of $F$ for injectivity
1.1givenF1algebra

Inverse of F: for every (x,y)∈R2, the two compositions are F−1(F(x,y))=F−1(y,y2−a−x)=(y2−a−(y2−a−x),y)=(x,y) and F(F−1(x,y))=F(x2−a−y,x)=(x,x2−a−(x2−a−y))=(x,y). Thus F is a bijection with F−1(x,y)=(x2−a−y,x). For s∈X± and n∈Z, [F1] gives xn+1(s)=xn(s)2−a−xn−1(s), hence F(xn−1(s),xn(s))=(xn(s),xn(s)2−a−xn−1(s))=(xn(s),xn+1(s)).

1.2givenF1F3algebra

Locality, by induction on m≥0: for m=0 the sequence Ts00=0 is independent of s, so the claim is vacuous. Assume it holds for m and let s,t agree for ∣j−n∣≤m. Then (Tsm+10)n=sna+(Tsm0)n−1+(Tsm0)n+1. The symbol sn=tn lies in ∣n−n∣=0≤m; by the induction hypothesis applied at n−1 and n+1 (for which the required windows are ∣j−(n−1)∣≤m−1 and ∣j−(n+1)∣≤m−1, both contained in ∣j−n∣≤m) the two radicands coincide; hence the two values coincide. This proves clause 2.

Uniform error: Tsm0 is the m-th Banach iterate of the starting point 0∈BR for the contraction Ts with constant 1/L on the complete space BR ([F3], [F1]). By [F2], ∥Tsm0−x(s)∥∞≤qm∥Ts0−0∥∞/(1−q)≤qmR/(1−q)≤2RL−m, where ∥Ts0∥∞≤R by [F3].

3.1givenstep 1.2step 2.1F5algebra

Coding estimates: let s,t agree for ∣j∣≤m and let n∈{−1,0}. For n=0, locality at level m requires agreement for ∣j∣≤m−1, which holds; for n=−1 it requires agreement for ∣j+1∣≤m−1, which implies ∣j∣≤m, so the required agreement also holds. Hence (Tsm0)n=(Ttm0)n, and two applications of step 2.1 give ∣xn(s)−xn(t)∣≤∣(Tsm0)n−(Ttm0)n∣+4RL−m=4RL−m for n=−1,0 (Absolute value in an ordered field, [F5]). Consequently ∥h(s)−h(t)∥2=∣x−1(s)−x−1(t)∣2+∣x0(s)−x0(t)∣2≤2⋅4RL−m.

4.1givenstep 3.1F4F6algebra

Continuity of h: let ε>0 and choose m≥0 with 42 RL−m<ε, possible because L>1, hence L−m=(1/L)m tends to 0 (For ∣r∣<1 the sequence rk is null, and for ∣r∣>1 the sequence ∣r∣k diverges to +∞, Series, partial sums, convergence and the sum, divergence, and the tail series). Put δ:=2−m. If D±(s,t)<δ, then by [F4] sj=tj for ∣j∣≤m, so step 3.1 gives ∥h(s)−h(t)∥2<ε. By [F6] this is continuity of h at s, and s was arbitrary.

5.1givenstep 1.1F1∎

Injectivity: suppose h(s)=h(t). For u∈X± and n∈Z put zn(u):=(xn−1(u),xn(u)). By step 1.1, zn+1(u)=F(zn(u)) and zn−1(u)=F−1(zn(u)) for all n; induction on n≥0 gives zn(u)=Fn(z0(u)) and induction on n≤0 gives zn(u)=Fn(z0(u)) (using the bijectivity of F from step 1.1). Since z0(s)=h(s)=h(t)=z0(t), it follows that zn(s)=zn(t) for all n, hence xn(s)=xn(t) for all n. By [F1], sn=sign⁡xn(s)=sign⁡xn(t)=tn, so s=t.

Remarks

  • Clause 2 is the quantitative content of "finite memory": the value of the m-th approximation at coordinate n sees only the 2m−1 symbols centred at n. Clause 4 turns this into a modulus of continuity of the coding map through the uniform error estimate.

  • Injectivity uses only that F is invertible and that the sign of xn recovers sn; no differentiability is used in this item.
