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 rectifiable Riemann–Stieltjes definition on an explicit polygonal contour with corners

Example

Let γ follow the three segments 0→1→1+i→i, and let f(z)=z. Then the componentwise Riemann–Stieltjes definition gives ∫γz dz=−12, the same value as the piecewise-C1 parametric formula. The corners require no matching derivatives.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The polygonal contour and affine integrand in the Example.

[L1]

The complex integral is the combination of four real Riemann–Stieltjes integrals (The complex line integral over a rectifiable path as a componentwise Riemann–Stieltjes integral).

[L2]

On piecewise-C1 contours it agrees with the parametric complex integral (For piecewise-C1 contours the Riemann–Stieltjes integral agrees with the parametric complex integral and the published real line integrals).

[L3]

Integrals add under concatenation (Complex line integrals change sign under reversal and add under concatenation).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1

On each affine segment, the four Stieltjes components in [L1] reduce to ordinary integrals against constant coordinate derivatives. Recombination gives ∫01γj(t)γj′(t)dt on that segment.

L1algebra
2.1

Each segment integral is (z12−z02)/2. Adding the three endpoint increments by [L3] telescopes to (i2−02)/2=−1/2.

3.1

Formula [L2] gives the same three parametric integrals. The one-sided derivatives at the two corners need not agree.
