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 fundamental theorem for nonautonomous smooth ODEs
Statement
Let be open and let be smooth. For every base point there are and an open neighbourhood of such that each initial pair has a unique solution on , and the resulting local solution map is smooth in the initial time and initial state.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A smooth nonautonomous field and a base point .
Autonomous smooth ODEs have unique local smooth flows (The fundamental theorem for autonomous smooth ODEs).
Smooth parameter-dependent ODEs have solutions depending smoothly on the parameters (Smooth dependence of ODE solutions on parameters).
Proof
On the open state domain , define the augmented autonomous field , so its equations are and . This field is smooth on . Apply [L1] with open state domain at : there are and an open neighbourhood of such that every initial pair in has a unique augmented solution on the common elapsed-time interval , taking values in .
The first equation forces when , so the second equation becomes exactly the original nonautonomous system with initial time . Reading the initial value as a parameter, [L2] makes the resulting solution map smooth in . This is precisely the claimed local theorem for nonautonomous smooth ODEs.
