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 D⊆R×Rn be open and let F:D→Rn be smooth. For every base point (t0,x0)∈D there are h>0 and an open neighbourhood W of (t0,x0) such that each initial pair (s,y)∈W has a unique solution on [s−h,s+h], and the resulting local solution map is smooth in the initial time and initial state.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A smooth nonautonomous field F(t,x) and a base point (t0,x0)∈D.

[L1]

Autonomous smooth ODEs have unique local smooth flows (The fundamental theorem for autonomous smooth ODEs).

[L2]

Smooth parameter-dependent ODEs have solutions depending smoothly on the parameters (Smooth dependence of ODE solutions on parameters).

On the open state domain D⊆R×Rn, define the augmented autonomous field V(s,x)=(1,F(s,x)), so its equations are s′(r)=1 and x′(r)=F(s(r),x(r)). This field is smooth on D. Apply [L1] with open state domain U=D at (t0,x0): there are h>0 and an open neighbourhood W⊆D of (t0,x0) such that every initial pair in W has a unique augmented solution on the common elapsed-time interval [−h,h], taking values in D.

2.1L2step 1.1∎

The first equation forces s(t)=s0+t when s(0)=s0, so the second equation becomes exactly the original nonautonomous system with initial time s0. Reading the initial value (s0,x0) as a parameter, [L2] makes the resulting solution map smooth in (s0,x0). This is precisely the claimed local theorem for nonautonomous smooth ODEs.
