Original question and givens

Derivative orders occurring in the specified relation are [1, 2], with 0 denoting y itself. Give (sorted distinct orders, highest order, does y occur?). A [0]-only list records the algebraic order-zero boundary, not evidence of a positive-order ODE.

  • G001 — Derivative orders occurring in the specified relation are [1, 2], with 0 denoting y itself. Give (sorted distinct orders, highest order, does y occur?). A [0]-only list records the algebraic order-zero boundary, not evidence of a positive-order ODE.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

[1, 2]

After

distinct actual derivative orders=[1, 2]

Conditions: none

Classify using the explicitly present derivative orders;sorting and deduplication add no derivative terms.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: derivative_order_list · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

[1, 2]

After

highest listed order=2

Conditions: none

Take the highest order,not the number of entries in the list.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: highest_derivative_order · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

0 in orders: No

After

order0 denotes the undifferentiated y term

Conditions: none

The third flag asks whether y itself occurs;its presence does not make the whole equation order0.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: includes_y_flag · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

highest=2; includes_y=No

After

classification assumes the listed terms survive simplification

Conditions: none

A list containing only0 is the algebraic boundary;this classification proves no existence,uniqueness or candidate-solution claim.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: order_not_existence_theorem · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

([1, 2], 2, No)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
