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.
approximate identities converge uniformly on compacta for bounded continuous functions
Statement
Let be an approximate identity on , and let be bounded and continuous. Then for every compact set ,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An approximate identity, a bounded continuous function , and a compact set .
Approximate identities are defined in An approximate identity on .
Continuous functions are uniformly continuous on compact sets (Heine-Cantor: a continuous map from a compact metric space to any metric space is uniformly continuous).
Bounded sets in have finite measure (Lebesgue measure is sigma-finite, and every metrically bounded subset of has finite outer measure).
Proof
Let . Choose so that [L2, L3, given, choose] whenever and ; this is possible by [L2] on a compact neighborhood of .
For , [L1, step 1.1, algebra] Split the integral into and . The near part is at most , while the far part is bounded by .
The norms are uniformly bounded and the tail term tends to by [L1]. [L1, step 2.1] Hence first choose small enough and then small enough to make the right-hand side uniformly small for all . This is exactly the claimed uniform convergence on .

Dependency tree · two levels
31 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
