用 Claude 和 Lean 对数学计算进行形式化证明Formally proving a calculation with Claude and Lean

johndcook.com·2026-06-10

作者测试了 Claude 能否为一段涉及傅里叶系数与贝塞尔函数的六行微积分推导生成 Lean 形式化证明代码。实验从包含 LaTeX 数学源码的页面出发,让 Claude 将非形式化的数学推理转化为机器可验证的 Lean 代码。结果展示了 LLM 辅助形式化数学验证的可行性与当前局限。这一实验为 AI 辅助定理证明的实际工作流提供了具体参考。

我今天做了一个实验,想看看 Claude [1] 能否生成 Lean 代码,来证明本文底部的一个计算,一共六行微积分。

我一开始用了这个提示词:

本页面包含一个数学证明,证明傅里叶系数 a_n 可由贝塞尔函数表示。该 SVG 图像的 LaTeX 源码包含在图像的 alt 标签中。请使用 Lean 生成该结果的形式化证明。

并把这篇文章的 URL 给了它。它在没有任何进一步输入的情况下生成了一个证明,但该证明无法通过构建。

我把错误信息粘贴进去,让 Claude 尝试修复证明,刻意除了粘贴错误信息外不提供任何帮助。一共花了八次迭代,但最终成功了。

证明中有四个地方被标记为“sorry”,Claude 对此解释如下。

为什么会有 sorry?

Real.besselJ 的定义或 Kepler 命名空间。剩下的三个 sorry 对应于 Mathlib 中 intervalIntegral 下存在的标准分析引理(IBP 和换元法)——该文件引用了解决每个证明目标所需的确切引理名称。这是在函数库尚未覆盖前,“路线图”式 Lean 证明的公认写法。

完整证明如下。

  =================
  Formal proof that the n-th Fourier sine-series coefficient of (E − M),
  where E and M are related by Kepler's equation  M = E − e · sin E,
  equals  aₙ = (2/n) · Jₙ(n·e),
  with Jₙ the Bessel function of the first kind of integer order n.

  Mathematical content
  --------------------
  We expand  E(M) − M  in a sine series on [0, π]:

      E(M) − M = Σ_{n=1}^∞  aₙ · sin(n·M)

  The standard Fourier formula gives

      aₙ = (2/π) ∫₀^π (E(M) − M) sin(n·M) dM.

  Integrating by parts (boundary terms vanish because E(0)=0 and E(π)=π):

      aₙ = (2/(nπ)) ∫₀^π (E'(M) − 1) cos(n·M) dM
         = (2/(nπ)) ∫₀^π E'(M) cos(n·M) dM     -- the "−1" term vanishes

  Changing variable M ↦ E via M = E − e·sin E  (so E'(M) dM = dE):

      aₙ = (2/(nπ)) ∫₀^π cos(n·E − n·e·sin E) dE
         = (2/n) · Jₙ(n·e).

  The last step uses the Bessel integral representation
      Jₙ(x) = (1/π) ∫₀^π cos(n·θ − x·sin θ) dθ.

        #min_imports

    and the Lean Infoview will report the exact minimal import list
