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.

L1 approximate identities converge uniformly on compacta for bounded continuous functions

Statement

Let (Kε)ε>0 be an L1 approximate identity on Rn, and let f:RnC be bounded and continuous. Then for every compact set KRn,

supxK(fKε)(x)f(x)0(ε0+).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: An L1 approximate identity, a bounded continuous function f, and a compact set K.

[L1]

Approximate identities are defined in An L1 approximate identity on Rn.

Proof

1.1

Let η>0. Choose δ>0 so that [L2, L3, given, choose] f(xy)f(x)<η whenever xK and y<δ; this is possible by [L2] on a compact neighborhood of K.

2.1

For xK, [L1, step 1.1, algebra] (fKε)(x)f(x)Kε(y)f(xy)f(x)dy. Split the integral into y<δ and yδ. The near part is at most ηKε1, while the far part is bounded by 2fyδKε(y)dy.

3.1

The L1 norms are uniformly bounded and the tail term tends to 0 by [L1]. [L1, step 2.1] Hence first choose η small enough and then ε small enough to make the right-hand side uniformly small for all xK. This is exactly the claimed uniform convergence on K.

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.
