AI Assists Mathematician in Formalizing Complex Vlasov Equation.
Summary
This paper describes a successful AI-assisted formalization of the Vlasov equation's well-posedness in the Lean 4 proof assistant, framed as a "strategy game" where a mathematician directs an AI. The process demonstrated efficient formalization, yielding a self-contained layer of general mathematics for wider library reuse.
