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.

Scalar and vector line integrals along an affine line segment

Example

For $p, q \in R^{n}$ , let $γ (t) = (1 - t) p + t q$ on $[0, 1]$ , and let $f : R^{n} \to R$ and $F : R^{n} \to R^{n}$ be continuous on a set containing the segment from $p$ to $q$ . Then

$\int_{γ} f d s = ∥ q - p ∥_{2} \int_{0}^{1} f ((1 - t) p + t q) d t,$

$\int_{γ} F \cdot d r = \int_{0}^{1} ⟨ F ((1 - t) p + t q), q - p ⟩ d t .$

[L1]

On a $C^{1}$ path, scalar and vector line integrals use respectively the integrands $f (γ (t)) ∥ γ^{'} (t) ∥_{2}$ and $⟨ F (γ (t)), γ^{'} (t) ⟩$ (Scalar line integrals with respect to arc length and vector-field line integrals).

Verification

technique · direct

1.1

Differentiation gives $γ^{'} (t) = q - p$ , so the speed is the constant $∥ q - p ∥_{2}$ .

givenalgebra

2.1

Substitute step 1.1 and the formula for $γ (t)$ into the scalar clause of [L1]. Pulling out the constant speed gives the first displayed formula.

2.2

Substitute step 1.1 into the vector clause of [L1] to obtain the second displayed formula.

step 1.1L1

3.1

If $p = q$ , then $q - p = 0$ and $∥ q - p ∥_{2} = 0$ , so both formulas give zero. Thus the constant-segment case is included.
