IOP Proximity Integers

Definition

IOP Proximity Integers refer to a concept within Interactive Oracle Proofs (IOPs) where the proof’s correctness relies on the proximity of certain polynomials to polynomials representing integer values. This property ensures that the underlying computation, when translated into polynomial form, accurately reflects operations performed on integers. It is a critical component for verifying the integrity of integer-based computations within these proof systems. This approach underpins the soundness of integer proofs.
