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.
Controlled periodic smooth inviscid limit
Statement
Assume Countable Choice. Let , let be an integer, and let be smooth, real, and divergence-free, where has normalized Lebesgue measure and divergence-free means . The local incompressible theorem supplies, on a common interval independent of , smooth solutions of the periodic Navier–Stokes equation and of periodic Euler with the same initial data. For every , Consequently the error is uniformly on as . For each integer , the same local construction supplies a uniform bound for this family, independent of ; therefore the error is . The result is confined to a fixed periodic domain and this common local smooth interval; it asserts no wall inviscid limit or boundary-layer estimate.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, as in the Statement, and the common family of smooth solutions on .
Countable Choice: every countable family of nonempty sets has a choice function (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
Smooth incompressible and symmetric-system stability: for two smooth periodic incompressible solutions with viscosities , the difference is bounded by the initial difference and the residual , with exponential factor determined by . The local existence interval and every fixed-order Sobolev bound are uniform in viscosity for fixed smooth data.
Periodic fluid Fourier Sobolev spaces: on the normalized torus, componentwise.
Proof
Apply [F1] with , , , and . The initial difference is zero and the residual norm is , so [F1] gives the displayed estimate.
Smoothness of on the compact cylinder implies and . Hence the integral in step 1.1 is at most . Multiplying by proves the uniform estimate.
By [F1], there is bounding for all and , and also bounding . Thus . Weighted Cauchy–Schwarz applied to the coefficient sums in [F2] gives : write and apply Holder with exponents and . Apply this to and step 2.1 to obtain .
