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.
An explicit conditional nonlinear energy closure
Statement
Let with , and let be the energy functional of a wave system of the kind specified in the preceding positive matrix-potential energy theorem, restricted to its existence interval. Here absolute continuity on compact subintervals has the endpoint-increment meaning in the cited definition. Suppose is absolutely continuous on every compact subinterval of and, for constants , , satisfies for almost every If and , then This is a bound only on the given existence interval; a separate continuation theorem is needed to infer global existence. For comparison, if and the coefficient is changed to , the equality model with the same positive initial value blows up at the finite time . This comparison is an ODE example, not a claim that an RN or Kerr–Newman perturbation satisfies either differential inequality. Time and energy are dimensionless in this scalar comparison.

Proof
Fix in the positive component of containing . Since is absolutely continuous on , [F2]'s definition applied to a single subinterval gives continuity there; positivity on this component and compactness then give a positive minimum and a finite maximum for on . The derivative of is bounded on this range by [F7]. If the range is a singleton then is constant on it; otherwise [F6] makes Lipschitz there by the mean value theorem. In either case [F5] makes absolutely continuous. By [F3], exists almost everywhere, and [F8] gives The absolutely continuous fundamental theorem [F4] and the primitive evaluation [F9] now give Taking inverse squares gives the claimed bound wherever in that component.
If reaches , the claimed inequality is immediate at that time. It cannot later become positive: otherwise some connected component of has at or after a zero and , by continuity from [F2]. For any fixed and , the same compact-interval argument as in step 1.1 makes absolutely continuous on . Integrating with [F4] gives . As , continuity gives and , contradicting finite . Thus after a zero remains zero, and the bound holds throughout .
For the comparison kernel , set The denominator is positive on this interval and tends to as . By [F10], [F7], and [F8], differentiation gives , so this solution is unbounded on its existence interval. Therefore the nonintegrable coefficient does not give the uniform bound proved above.
Remarks
No continuation criterion or PDE estimate establishing [A2] is included. The proposition cannot by itself be used as a global stability theorem.
