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.
Distributional harmonicity and Poisson's equation on an open subset of Rn
Definition
Let be an integer and let be open. Write for smooth real functions with compact support in . A distribution is a continuous linear functional . Here continuity means that whenever the supports of and lie in one compact subset of and every partial derivative of converges uniformly to the corresponding derivative of . Set For , is its regular distribution. We say is distributionally harmonic when . Given another distribution , we say that solves the distributional Poisson equation when that equality holds as distributions. These are distinct from the classical conditions on a function in The Laplacian of a function and of a vector field.

Dependency tree · two levels
5 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.
