Abstract: A mixture of two kinds of identical bosons, species 1 and species 2, held in a harmonic potential and interacting by harmonic intra-species and inter-species particle-particle interactions is discussed. To prove Bose-Einstein condensation of the mixture three steps are needed. First, we integrate the all-particle density matrix, employing a four-parameter matrix recurrence relations, down to the lowest-order intra-species and inter-species reduced density matrices of the mixture. Second, the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii (mean-field) equations of the mixture are solved analytically. Third, we analyze the mixture's reduced density matrices in the limit of an infinite number of particles of both species 1 and 2 (when the interaction parameters, i.e., the products of the number of particles times the intra-species and inter-species interaction strengths, are held fixed) and prove that: (i) Both species 1 and 2 are 100% condensed; (ii) The inter-species reduced density matrix per particle is separable and given by the product of the intra-species reduced density matrices per particle; and (iii) The mixture's energy per particle, and reduced density matrices and densities per particle all coincide with the Gross-Pitaevskii quantities. Finally, when the infinite-particle limit is taken with respect to, say, species 1 only (with interaction parameters held fixed) we prove that: (iv) Only species 1 is 100% condensed and its reduced density matrix and density per particle, as well as the mixture's energy per particle, coincide with the Gross-Pitaevskii quantities of species 1 alone; and (v) The inter-species reduced density matrix per particle is nonetheless separable and given by the product of the intra-species reduced density matrices per particle.
