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.
Surface area and flux on a sphere, with scalar integrals on a hemisphere
Example
For , the sphere of radius has area . With outward orientation, the field has flux . On the northern hemisphere, the scalar integral of the height coordinate is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The parametrization on .
The sine and cosine derivative, sign, range, Pythagorean, and endpoint-value formulas hold (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine, Signs, monotonicity intervals, and ranges of sine and cosine, Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi).
Regular-patch area and scalar integrals are and , and flux in the orientation induced by is (Regular parametrized surface patches on compact Jordan parameter regions, Surface area and scalar surface integrals on a regular patch, Unit normal fields, orientations, and flux through a regular surface patch); Jordan-Fubini and the fundamental theorem evaluate the rectangular integrals (Fubini over a bounded Jordan set when all but a content-zero family of sections are integrable, The second fundamental theorem: if is differentiable on with and is integrable, then ).
The area density satisfies at every parameter point, with the cross product given by the coordinate formula (The surface area density is the norm of the cross product of the parameter tangents, The cross product in ).
Verification
Direct differentiation using [L1] and the coordinate formula in [L3] gives , the outward area vector, whose norm is ; by [L3] this is the area density . It is nonzero in the parameter interior; the longitude seam and poles lie on the boundary, so [L2] gives a regular patch.
By [L2], the area is .
Since , its dot product with the outward area vector is , whose integral is .
On the northern hemisphere , the height is , so its scalar integral is .
Steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 establish the area, outward flux, and hemisphere scalar integral with the orientation stated.
