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.

Lemma 3.3: observability modulo a compact remainder

PDF p. 9: Lemma 3.3; (3.8); PDF p. 10: negative-index proof; PDF p. 11: proof conclusion

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice and (H): n≥2, Θ⊂Rn is nonempty and compact with smooth boundary, its exterior Ω=Rn∖Θ is connected, and Θ is non-trapping, meaning that every admissible generalized reflected ray, including glancing behavior, leaves each compact set in finite forward time. Let HDs(Ω) be the Dirichlet spectral scale, W(t)=eitΔD its unitary evolution, and φ,ψ the cutoffs of Control region and nested real cutoffs.

For every T>0 and σ∈[−2,2) there is C>0 such that, for every v0∈HDσ(Ω), ∥v0∥HDσ2≤C(∫0T∥φW(t)v0∥HDσ2 dt+Qσ(v0)). Here Qσ is the lower-order observation remainder of def-se-compact-remainder: with R=(I−ΔD)−1, k=0 for σ≥0 and k=1 for σ<0, and ρ=σ+1 for −1<σ<0 and ρ=0 otherwise, it is Qσ(v0)=∫0T∥ψRkW(t)v0∥HDρ2 dt.

First let 0≤τ<2, u∈HDτ, and z(t)=W(t)u. Unitarity, z=φz+χz, and the squared triangle inequality give T∥u∥HDτ2≤2∫0T∥φz∥HDτ2dt+2∫0T∥χz∥HDτ2dt. If τ=0, 0≤χ≤ψ bounds the second integral by ∫0T∥ψz∥22dt, proving the desired positive-index estimate at zero.

Suppose 0<τ<2. Apply the local lower-order estimate and then absorption, choosing ε so that 2C1ε≤T/2. It follows that ∥u∥HDτ2≤C(∫0T∥φz∥HDτ2dt+∥u∥22). By L2 unitarity, z=φz+χz, χ≤ψ, and the scale embedding into L2, we also have ∥u∥22≤(2/T)∫0T(∥φz∥HDτ2+∥ψz∥22)dt. Thus, for every 0≤τ<2, ∥u∥HDτ2≤C∫0T(∥φW(t)u∥HDτ2+∥ψW(t)u∥22)dt.

Now let −2≤σ<0 and put τ=σ+2∈[0,2), y0=Rv0, v(t)=W(t)v0, and y(t)=W(t)y0=Rv(t). The resolvent isometry gives ∥y0∥HDτ=∥v0∥HDσ. Applying step 2.1 to y0 and the commutator estimate pointwise gives ∥v0∥HDσ2≤C∫0T(∥φv(t)∥HDσ2+∥ψy(t)∥HDρ2+∥ψy(t)∥22)dt.

Here ρ≥0, so the scale embedding bounds the last integrand by ∥ψy(t)∥HDρ2. By the definition of Qσ this is precisely the required estimate for negative σ. For nonnegative σ, step 2.1 is the required estimate because k=0 and ρ=0. The flow continuity and bounded cutoff actions make the displayed time integrals well-defined.
