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 dyadic simple approximants for $x^{2}$ on $[0, 2]$ at $k = 1$ and $k = 2$

Example

For $f (x) = x^{2}$ on $[0, 2]$ , the explicit dyadic truncations are:

$s_{1} (x) = {\begin{cases} 0, & 0 \leq x < 1 / \sqrt{2}, \\ 1 / 2, & 1 / \sqrt{2} \leq x < 1, \\ 1, & 1 \leq x \leq 2, \end{cases}$

and

$s_{2} (x) = {\begin{cases} 0, & 0 \leq x < 1 / 2, \\ 1 / 4, & 1 / 2 \leq x < \sqrt{2} / 2, \\ 1 / 2, & \sqrt{2} / 2 \leq x < \sqrt{3} / 2, \\ 3 / 4, & \sqrt{3} / 2 \leq x < 1, \\ 1, & 1 \leq x < \sqrt{5} / 2, \\ 5 / 4, & \sqrt{5} / 2 \leq x < \sqrt{6} / 2, \\ 3 / 2, & \sqrt{6} / 2 \leq x < \sqrt{7} / 2, \\ 7 / 4, & \sqrt{7} / 2 \leq x < \sqrt{2}, \\ 2, & \sqrt{2} \leq x \leq 2. \end{cases}$

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The nonnegative measurable function $f (x) = x^{2}$ on $[0, 2]$ and the explicit dyadic truncations from the simple-approximation theorem.

[L1]

For a nonnegative measurable function, the approximants are

$s_{k} = \sum_{j < k 2^{k}} j 2^{- k} 1_{{j 2^{- k} \leq f < (j + 1) 2^{- k}}} + k 1_{{f \geq k}} .$

1.1L1algebra

For $k = 1$ , the two dyadic cells are [L1, algebra] $0 \leq x^{2} < 1 / 2$ and $1 / 2 \leq x^{2} < 1$ , while the truncation cell is $x^{2} \geq 1$ . On $[0, 2]$ these become exactly the three intervals displayed in the first formula.

2.1step 1.1L1algebra∎

For $k = 2$ , the eight nontrivial dyadic cells are [step 1.1, L1, algebra] $j / 4 \leq x^{2} < (j + 1) / 4$ for $j = 0, \dots, 7$ , together with the truncation cell $x^{2} \geq 2$ . On $[0, 2]$ these become $[0, 1 / 2)$ , $[1 / 2, \sqrt{2} / 2)$ , $[\sqrt{2} / 2, \sqrt{3} / 2)$ , $[\sqrt{3} / 2, 1)$ , $[1, \sqrt{5} / 2)$ , $[\sqrt{5} / 2, \sqrt{6} / 2)$ , $[\sqrt{6} / 2, \sqrt{7} / 2)$ , $[\sqrt{7} / 2, \sqrt{2})$ , and $[\sqrt{2}, 2]$ , exactly as displayed.
