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.
Sign-preserving transport cost for finite signed measures
Definition
Assume and the Axiom of Choice when invoking Jordan decomposition of a signed measure into unique mutually singular positive parts. Let be finite signed Borel measures on whose total variations have finite first moments, and use the Euclidean norm from The Euclidean inner product on . Write their Jordan parts as and . If the positive-part masses agree and the negative-part masses agree, define using finite nonnegative Borel measures on whose first and second marginals are respectively the corresponding positive or negative Jordan parts: where ranges over finite nonnegative couplings of and , and over finite nonnegative couplings of and . The infimum is over both sign couplings independently. This cost is not the probability .
Depends on
- A signed measure is countably additive and takes at most one infinite value
- The total variation |nu|(E) from countable measurable partitions
- The Euclidean inner product $\langle x,y\rangle = \sum_{k<n} x_k y_k$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$
- Jordan decomposition of a signed measure into unique mutually singular positive parts
- The Axiom of Choice

27 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.
