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.

Gabriel's horn has finite improper volume π

Example

Gabriel's horn is obtained by revolving y=1/x for x1 about the x-axis. Its improper volume exists and equals π.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: For R>1, the truncation obtained by revolving f(x)=1/x on [1,R].

[F1]

A solid of revolution with profile f has volume πabf(x)2dx (The disc formula for the volume of a solid of revolution).

[F2]

For rational p>1, 1xpdx=1/(p1) (The improper p-test for rational exponents).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1

By [F1], the truncation has volume π1Rx2dx=π(11/R).

F1
2.1

By [F2] with p=2, the improper integral tends to 1, so the truncated volumes tend to π.

step 1.1F2
3.1

Thus the horn has finite improper volume π. No assertion about its lateral surface area is used here.

Dependency tree · two levels

21 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.
