Problem

The question

Anastasia Matveeva, On the integrality of some P-recursive sequences, arXiv:2511.02121v1, Section 4.2 after the general generating-function solution of equation (4.1):

Supposedly, if e does not vanish in the equation above, S(x) is not globally bounded. However, this question remains open for now.

Section 7 states the parameter condition explicitly:

The case of $b_2 \neq \frac{2a_2b_1-a_1a_2b_0}{a_1}$ is still poorly understood, although we believe it leads to not globally bounded solutions.

The literal assertion quantifies over every rational tuple $(a_1,a_2,b_0,b_1,b_2)$ with $a_1a_2\neq0$ and $b_0\notin{-2,-3,\ldots}$, and every sequence $s:\mathbb N\to\mathbb Q$ with arbitrary rational initial values satisfying

$$ (n+b_0)s_n+(a_1n+b_1)s_{n-1}+(a_2n+b_2)s_{n-2}=0 \qquad\text{for every }n\geq2. $$

It asserts that

$$ E=a_1a_2b_0+a_1b_2-2a_2b_1\neq0 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad s\text{ is not globally bounded}. $$

Definitions 1.4 and 1.5 require both of the following for global boundedness: a single nonzero integer $C$ for which $C^ns_n$ is an integer for every $n\geq1$, and a real $R>0$ for which the full complex series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}s_nz^n$ is summable for every complex $z$ with $|z|<R$. The integer witnessing integrality may depend on $n$; there is no integrality restriction on $s_0$.

There is no minimal-order, nonrationality, normalized-initial-values or uncancelled-exponential hypothesis. Requiring an exponential factor to survive simplification of the full generating function would change the assertion. Conjecture 4.1 is a separate assertion.

Motivation

Our foothold

D5/S1/Recurrence/MatveevaGlobalBoundedness.claim expresses this entire universal assertion. The sole public theorem D5/S1/Recurrence/MatveevaGlobalBoundedness.result has the literal type Not claim. The counterexample is nonzero and verifies both original global-boundedness clauses, including actual complex summability.

Gap

Missing bridges

Preregistration #23051 fixes the whole literal event, its quantifiers and tier-1 source scope. The bounded source and public-solution screening has prior_art_status: partial. The versioned primary contains the quoted open belief. The screened Bostan publication inventory and Bostan–Salvy–Singer arXiv:2504.16697v2 passages did not identify a resolution of this parameter belief; their algebraicity questions do not settle it. MathDB entries 371300 and 371301 concern different assertions, including Conjecture 4.1; the target's solution count is unknown. Crossref, HAL, DataCite, MathOverflow, public GitHub and sequence-source searches are bounded screens. Rate-limited OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar citation inventories remain unread. These findings establish no worldwide priority or exhaustive absence of a prior resolution.

Route

Proposed approach

Use the rational sequence $s_n=n+1$ and

$$ (b_0,a_1,b_1,a_2,b_2)=(1,-3,-1,2,1),\qquad E=-5. $$

The initial values are $s_0=1$ and $s_1=2$. For every $n\geq2$, the recurrence reduces to the polynomial identity

$$ (n+1)^2+(-3n-1)n+(2n+1)(n-1)=0. $$

With $C=1$, the integer coefficient is $n+1$ at every positive index. With $R=1$, the full complex series is summable at every $|z|<1$. The proof directly applies the pinned Mathlib theorem summable_choose_mul_geometric_of_norm_lt_one with coefficient ring $\mathbb C$ and parameter $k=1$. Thus the chosen solution satisfies every premise of claim and is globally bounded, contradicting its conclusion. The argument covers all required indices and the entire open complex disk, rather than a finite prefix or a formal-series proxy.

Falsifier

What would falsify this route

Source correspondence would fail if the claim omitted either integral scaling or complex convergence, restricted the initial pair, replaced the parameter condition by persistence of an exponential, or checked only finitely many recurrence indices. The formal definitions retain each of these distinctions. A source claim with an additional minimal-order or nonrationality premise is outside this result.

Evidence

Evidence to collect

The Lean source supplies five necessary public definitions, one consumed private helper and one public result. The per-declaration mathematical classification is manual proof_shape: bind-only throughout:

| Declaration | Role and live consumer | | --- | --- | | integralScaling | Necessary definition used by globallyBounded. | | positiveComplexRadius | Necessary definition used by globallyBounded. | | globallyBounded | Necessary definition used by claim and witness_data. | | claim | Complete external assertion negated by result. | | witness | Necessary sequence definition used by witness_data and result. | | private witness_data | Its recurrence and global-boundedness conjuncts are consumed by result; its initial-value conjuncts identify the nonzero source solution. | | result | The sole public conclusion, resolving the preregistered literal assertion. |

The compiler-generated witness.eq_1 is not an authored companion. There is no escape witness and no direct frozen D5 dependency. admission_basis: open-problem-resolution uses the whole external open-problem-resolution exception of CLAUDE.md §3.2, not a claim that bind-only steps are new intermediate mathematics. The typed Scribe resolution kind is Refuted for this dossier and this result.

The header is utility: none: the necessary predicates and their all-index, all-disk refutation are not a separately delivered finite checker, enumeration, numerical reduction or certified finite instance. Arithmetic normalization is subordinate to that infinite symbolic argument. The accepted proof reuses Mathlib summability directly. The normal Lean report and canonical freeze own compiled statements, source bindings and axiom closure; this dossier is not another machine status or a claim of independent delivery approval.

The source-bound Reg audit is unfinished under #23072. The faithful attempted registration compiled, but its binding state was declared_unresolved, diagnostic IE-C050 ... source.residual_requires_open, with no binding certificate. The failed Reg mirror is absent. No declared_validated claim is made; the §3.9 linked-issue boundary does not waive kernel, sorry, axiom, freeze, Scribe or required checks. Literal negation and utility: none do not themselves exempt this result from registration.

Triage

Scope assessment

What the settlement shows

Proved by D5/S1/Recurrence/MatveevaGlobalBoundedness.result: the entire literal parameter belief is false. A nonzero value of $E$ does not by itself exclude a globally bounded rational solution. This is an existential counterexample to a universal assertion, with neither initial normalization nor a weakened convergence predicate.

The proof mechanism is an exact polynomial recurrence identity combined with integer coefficients and an existing complex summability theorem. It supplies no classification of all $E\neq0$ solutions. Whether additional minimal-order, nonrationality or exponential-persistence conditions support another theorem remains open here. Conjecture 4.1 and other source results are not settled or invalidated by this result.

ASSUMED-UNVERIFIED

Unverified assumptions

Literature priority and exhaustive citation coverage remain unverified. The Reg binding audit is unfinished as described above. Independent exact-head delivery reviews, the full actual gate, required CI and later integration are separate obligations. This result does not certify those obligations, merge authorization or any solved-problem count.
