CVP verified calculation capability
Minimize a polynomial, sin, or exp on [a, b] by golden-section search or Brent. Not multivariate, not maximization, not CAS.

Inspectable numeric contract for this Capability@Version. Not a rewrite of the engine.
| Field | Declaration |
|---|---|
numeric_domain | real |
exactness | float64 |
algorithm | golden-section / Brent 1-D minimizer on a published unimodal f; stationary-point coefficients are normalized and zero-tested; cubic references use cancellation-safe quadratic roots and finite outputs use 12 significant digits |
valid_domain | finite bracket; published f family |
singularity_policy | INVALID_INPUT on a degenerate bracket; NUMERICAL_RANGE_ERROR on nonfinite interval width, function evaluation/output overflow, exp underflow to zero, or unsafe sin phase indices; NO_CONVERGENCE when unpublished |
branch_policy | not applicable — real iterate |
tolerance | note: interval width vs Evidence; no global default |
convergence | max_iter: engine published bound; criterion: interval / Brent step |
conditioning | multimodal f is out of seed scope |
rounding | ieee754_round_ties_to_even |
overflow | ieee754_nonfinite_or_coded_error |
reproducibility | deterministic algorithm + Capability@Version |
independent_oracle | cvp:math.numerical.optimize_1d O2 / Evidence published cases |
golden_vectors | Evidence golden + boundary + property (and published_reference_case when listed) |
Declared scope for this capability. Do not use it outside this domain.
Assumptions
One numerical check. The calculator page holds worked steps and FAQ.
golden poly 0,0,1 on [-1,2] → xmin=0
CVP VERIFIED · production STALE · CVP protocol 1.0.0-proposed · Core assurance · all published methods. Computational verification is defined by CVP. Supplemental domain review (internal) and named expert review are defined by the Review policy and do not by themselves determine CVP conformance.
Human page, REST, and MCP share the same engine and calculation_version.
Build verified hashes workspace artifacts only. After deploy, attest:production GETs canonical URLs twice — the public/cached view an Agent actually hits, and origin — including every /capabilities/{id} HTML page. Public Capability HTML version must match catalog before production attestation passes. Live Trust rows above fetch /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json
and the output schema const. Build hashes: release integrity. That proves currently published page / engine / schema / evidence / MCP agree — not that a historical version is independently immutable. Reference Calculation Standard — Production surface contract 4/4.
