How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced — the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted — a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated — a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Cavalieri: Jordan content is the integral of sectional contents, and equal sections give equal content

Statement

Let ERp+qE\subseteq\mathbb R^{p+q} be a bounded Jordan set whose sections ExE_x are Jordan measurable outside a content-zero set of parameters. Then the completed sectional-content function xcont(Ex)x\mapsto\operatorname{cont}(E_x) is integrable and cont(E)=cont(Ex)dx,\operatorname{cont}(E)=\int\operatorname{cont}(E_x)\,dx, with empty sections assigned content 00.

Consequently, if bounded Jordan sets E,FRp+qE,F\subseteq\mathbb R^{p+q} have Jordan sections outside content-zero exceptional parameter sets and cont(Ex)=cont(Fx)\operatorname{cont}(E_x)=\operatorname{cont}(F_x) wherever both are ordinary Jordan sections outside those sets, then cont(E)=cont(F)\operatorname{cont}(E)=\operatorname{cont}(F).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Bounded Jordan sets with the stated sectional hypotheses.

[L1]

Jordan--Fubini computes an integral over a bounded Jordan set by integrating its section integrals, with empty sections assigned zero (Fubini over a bounded Jordan set when all but a content-zero family of sections are integrable).

[L2]

A metric-bounded set is Jordan measurable if and only if its indicator is Riemann integrable on a bounding rectangle, and then the indicator integral is its Jordan content (A bounded set is Jordan measurable iff its indicator is Riemann integrable, and the integral is its Jordan content).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

Apply [L1] to the constant-one function on EE. Its integral over EE is cont(E)\operatorname{cont}(E) by [L2], while the integral over a section is cont(Ex)\operatorname{cont}(E_x), again by [L2].

L1L2given
2.1

For EE and FF, the two completed sectional-content functions agree outside the union of their exceptional sets, which is content zero. Their integrals are therefore equal, and step 1.1 identifies those integrals with the two total contents.

3.1

Empty sections contribute 00. If either set has content zero, the same formula gives zero on both sides, so no nonemptiness hypothesis is hidden.
