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.

$ℓ^{\infty}$ is Banach for the supremum norm

Example

Let $ℓ^{\infty}$ be the space of bounded scalar sequences $x = (x_{n})_{n \geq 0}$ with norm $∥ x ∥_{\infty} : = \sup_{n \geq 0} ∣ x_{n} ∣ .$ Then $ℓ^{\infty}$ is a Banach space.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A Cauchy sequence $(x^{(m)})$ in $ℓ^{\infty}$ for the supremum norm, with coordinates $x^{(m)} = (x_{n}^{(m)})_{n \geq 0}$ .

[L1]

A Banach space is a normed space complete for its norm metric (Banach space).

1.1given

For each fixed coordinate $n$ , the scalar sequence $(x_{n}^{(m)})_{m}$ is Cauchy because $∣ x_{n}^{(m)} - x_{n}^{(ℓ)} ∣ \leq ∥ x^{(m)} - x^{(ℓ)} ∥_{\infty}$ . Let $x_{n} : = \lim_{m} x_{n}^{(m)}$ .

2.1step 1.1given

Since $(x^{(m)})$ is Cauchy, choose $M$ with $∥ x^{(m)} - x^{(ℓ)} ∥_{\infty} < 1$ for $m, ℓ \geq M$ . Fixing $ℓ = M$ and letting $m \to \infty$ coordinatewise gives $∣ x_{n} ∣ \leq ∥ x^{(M)} ∥_{\infty} + 1$ for every $n$ , so $x = (x_{n})$ is bounded and lies in $ℓ^{\infty}$ .

2.2step 1.1given

Given $ε > 0$ , choose $M$ with $∥ x^{(m)} - x^{(ℓ)} ∥_{\infty} < ε$ for $m, ℓ \geq M$ . Letting $ℓ \to \infty$ coordinatewise yields $∣ x_{n}^{(m)} - x_{n} ∣ \leq ε$ for every $n$ , so $∥ x^{(m)} - x ∥_{\infty} \leq ε$ for $m \geq M$ .

3.1step 2.1step 2.2L1∎

Thus every supremum-norm Cauchy sequence in $ℓ^{\infty}$ converges in $ℓ^{\infty}$ , so $ℓ^{\infty}$ is Banach by [L1].
