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.

1 · Prerequisites
None. This page is self-contained.
2 · Summary
The counterexample checks the radial power printed for the Yukawa expression in the cited source. Its term has nonzero screened Laplacian at every , while solves the homogeneous equation off the origin. No delta normalization or full Green-function claim is made.

Radial Yukawa source power fails the homogeneous equation
Statement refuted
For every , the function solves the homogeneous screened equation at every point of , where is the Euclidean Laplacian. The cited source uses the same off-origin Yukawa radial expression up to a constant factor; no distributional statement at the origin is included here.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , , and the Euclidean Laplacian specified in the refuted statement.
The refuted claim is the pointwise identity for every .
Counterexample
For any twice differentiable radial function on , and Thus the radial Laplacian formula follows directly from the chain rule on .
For , differentiation gives Substituting into step 1.1 yields including . This contradicts [A1] at every point off the origin.
For comparison, set for . Direct differentiation gives Using step 1.1, the terms cancel against , leaving on . Thus the power passes the off-origin homogeneous check, but this does not prove its full distributional Green-function normalization.
