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.

Lower and upper Darboux sums over a grid partition in Rm\mathbb{R}^m

Definition

Let f:QRf:Q\to\mathbb R be bounded on a nondegenerate rectangle and let PP be a grid. For each cell QiQ_i, put mi:=inff[Qi],Mi:=supf[Qi],L(f,P):=imivol(Qi),U(f,P):=iMivol(Qi).m_i:=\inf f[Q_i],\quad M_i:=\sup f[Q_i],\quad L(f,P):=\sum_i m_i\operatorname{vol}(Q_i),\quad U(f,P):=\sum_i M_i\operatorname{vol}(Q_i). The extrema exist as finite reals because each nonempty image is bounded (Lower bound, bounded below, bounded set, Complete ordered field (least-upper-bound property), Every nonempty set bounded below has an infimum, Greatest lower bound (infimum), Suprema and infima are unique), and the sums use the iterated convention of Grid partitions of a rectangle in Rm\mathbb{R}^m, their cells, refinements and mesh.

Since miMim_i\le M_i and cell volumes are nonnegative, L(f,P)U(f,P)L(f,P)\le U(f,P). Moreover U(f,P)L(f,P)=i(Mimi)vol(Qi),U(f,P)-L(f,P)=\sum_i(M_i-m_i)\operatorname{vol}(Q_i), the sum of cell oscillations weighted by volume (Laws of finite sums and finite products).
