Original question and givens

Declared nonempty interval record=[-11, 12], candidate=-1/1. Give (interval,normalized candidate,within both inclusive bounds?,feasibility_only). A reversed record has no qualified feasible point in this protocol. Use exact rational arithmetic with reduced positive denominators; omit /1 for integers. Keep convex-objective qualification, convex feasible-domain qualification, point feasibility, evaluation and comparison separate. These checks supply no general solver, global optimum, existence, uniqueness, KKT or convergence claim.

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

declared interval record=[-11, 12]

After

ordered_nonempty=Yes;nondegenerate=Yes

Conditions: none

This nonempty-interval protocol uses lower≤upper;the nondegenerate certificate additionally needs lower<upper.A reversed record is unqualified,not a declaration that the abstract empty set is nonconvex.A singleton interval is convex.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: interval_certificate_qualification_not_empty_set_nonconvexity · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

candidate lower slack := sub(-1, -11)

After

candidate lower slack = 10

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from this step's original roles and established intermediates,retaining signs,denominators and coefficient order.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

candidate upper slack := sub(12, -1)

After

candidate upper slack = 13

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from this step's original roles and established intermediates,retaining signs,denominators and coefficient order.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

candidate:interval=[-11, 12];point=-1;slacks=[10, 13]

After

feasible=Yes

Conditions: none

Both inclusive bounds must hold.A reversed record supplies no qualified feasible point.The polynomial may have a value outside the domain,but a value does not establish eligibility.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inclusive_point_feasibility_separate_evaluation · 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 — Recompute candidate upper slack with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute candidate lower slack with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

([-11, 12], -1, Yes, feasibility_only)

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