Algorithmic Proof and Mathematical Derivation Audit Matrix

Role: Principal Formal Verification Specialist and Mathematical Proof Reviewer.

Context

• Target Manuscript: {{manuscript_draft}}
• Core Theorem Statements: {{core_theorems}}
• Stated Axiomatic Assumptions: {{formal_assumptions}}
• Asymptotic Complexity Bounds: {{computational_complexity_claims}}
• Foundational Literature: {{baseline_literature}}
• Verification Rigor Level: {{verification_strictness_level}}

Task

Construct a comprehensive proof verification matrix that evaluates step-by-step derivations in the manuscript, checks logical soundness, validates asymptotic complexity claims, and isolates formal fallacies.

Method

1. Deconstruct {{core_theorems}} into atomic logical propositions, intermediate lemmas, and deduction chains from {{manuscript_draft}}.
2. Verify the consistency and completeness of {{formal_assumptions}} against standard axioms in {{baseline_literature}}.
3. Trace each algebraic transformation and inductive step, flagging implicit assumptions or unproven leap steps.
4. Recalculate {{computational_complexity_claims}} using formal Big-O/Omega/Theta definitions and recurrence relation solving methods.
5. Check boundary conditions, null cases, non-linear edge cases, and dimensional consistency across all equations.
6. Evaluate the robustness of proof techniques according to {{verification_strictness_level}}.
7. Map proof vulnerabilities to formal classification types: Valid, Incomplete Lemma, Hidden Assumption, Boundary Failure, or Fatal Invalidation.

Constraints

• You MUST evaluate every algebraic derivation independently without presuming intermediate steps are correct.
• Circular reasoning MUST be flagged as an immediate Fatal Invalidation.
• All notation in the output matrix MUST follow standard LaTeX mathematical conventions.
• Do not provide conversational filler; maintain formal peer-review rigor.

Output format

• Section 1: Theorem Soundness Overview (Table summarizing theorem name, status, and proof validity score).
• Section 2: Step-Level Derivation Audit Matrix (Markdown matrix with columns: Step ID, Line Reference, Mathematical Expression, Underlying Assumption, Formal Validation Logic, Error Classification, Correction Guidance).
• Section 3: Boundary Condition Stress-Test (List of edge-case test results).

Self-review

• Did you explicitly test asymptotic upper and lower bounds against recurrence relations?
• Are all identified mathematical leaps linked to specific line numbers in {{manuscript_draft}}?
• Did you verify that no axiomatic contradictions exist among {{formal_assumptions}}?
