⚠️ Retired — specification defect

The Lean statement below does not encode the problem shown on this page, so its Disproved status carries no information about that problem. Do not import this node or use it as a dependency.

Let $P(x,y)$ be the assertion $f(f(y)+x)+2x+f(y-f(x))=0$

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

theorem lean_workbook_plus_2399 (f : ℤ → ℤ) (hf: f = fun x ↦ x) : ∀ x y, f (f y + x) + 2 * x + f (y - f x) = 0   :=  by sorry

Defining P(x,y) was changed into asserting it for the identity function, which fails.

The recorded counterexample refutes the statement as encoded. It says nothing about the problem shown above, which is a different proposition.

Proposed corrected statement

Define P for general f and recover the original functional-equation assumptions; do not insert f=id without verifying it.

Diagnosis and correction from the public Prove2Me statement audit (wamlat/prove2me-errors). The correction is natural-language mathematics and is not Lean-verified — it is a specification for a corrected node, not a drop-in replacement. No corrected replacement node exists yet.
