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.

A locally integrable function can fail to differentiate on a null set

Example

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

Define f(x):=k=01(22k1,22k)(x)(xR). Then f is bounded and locally integrable, but the averages Arf(0) do not converge as r0+. Thus differentiation can fail on the null set {0}.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice and the function f above.

[L1]

Ball averages are the normalized interval averages in one dimension. (The average of a locally integrable function over a Euclidean ball)

[L2]

Lebesgue differentiation holds almost everywhere for locally integrable functions. (Lebesgue differentiation theorem on Rn)

1.1

The function f takes only the values 0 and 1, so it is measurable and [given, algebra] bounded by 1. Hence it is locally integrable on R.

1.2

For rm:=22m, the set on which f=1 inside (rm,rm) is [L1, given, algebra] exactly the disjoint union km(22k1,22k), whose total length is km22k1=22m1122=22m+13. Therefore Armf(0)=12rmrmrmf(x)dx=13.

For sm:=22m1, the set on which f=1 inside (sm,sm) is [L1, step 1.2, algebra] exactly km+1(22k1,22k), whose total length is km+122k1=22m13. Hence Asmf(0)=12smsmsmf(x)dx=16.

3.1

Steps 1.2 and 2.1 give two sequences of radii tending to 0 along which [L2, step 1.2, step 2.1] Arf(0) tends to different values. So Arf(0) has no limit as r0+. This does not contradict [L2], because the exceptional set here is the singleton null set {0}.

Dependency tree · two levels

15 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.
