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.

The Euclidean metric, convergence, Cauchy sequences, and continuity on the complex plane

Definition

For z=x+iy and w=u+iv, put dC(z,w):=∣z−w∣=(x−u)2+(y−v)2=∥(x−u,y−v)∥2. Under the identification C=R2, this is exactly the metric d2 induced by the Euclidean norm of The p-norms ∥x∥p for rational p≥1, and ∥x∥∞. It is a metric by Each ∥⋅∥p is a norm on Rn, and the induced metrics are exactly d1, d2 and d∞ of the published metric-spaces page, so the metric axioms are established rather than assumed.

Convergence in C, Cauchy sequences in C, and continuity of maps between subsets of C mean the notions of Convergence of a sequence in a metric space: xk→x iff d(xk,x)→0 in R, Cauchy sequence in a metric space, and Continuity of a map between metric spaces, at a point and globally, in the ε-δ form for dC (and the restricted metric on a subset). These uses are therefore licensed by the metric-space definition Metric space: d(x,y)=0 iff x=y, symmetry, and the triangle inequality; pseudometric and ultrametric.

Dependency tree · two levels

46 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.
