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.

Special values of the real Gamma and Beta functions

Example

The real Gamma and Beta functions have the values

Γ(1)=1,Γ(2)=1,Γ(3)=2,Γ(1/2)=π,Γ(3/2)=π2,B(1,1)=1,B(2,3)=112.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The displayed positive arguments.

[F1]

For every s>0, Γ(s+1)=sΓ(s), and Γ(1)=1 (The real Gamma functional equation Γ(s+1)=sΓ(s)).

[F3]

For p,q>0, B(p,q)=Γ(p)Γ(q)/Γ(p+q) (The real Beta--Gamma identity).

Verification

1.1

Repeated use of [F1] gives Γ(1)=1, Γ(2)=1, and Γ(3)=2.

1.2

Fact [F2] and [F1] give Γ(1/2)=π and Γ(3/2)=(1/2)π.

Dependency tree · two levels

17 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.
