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.

Proof
A primitive on is by [F1] and [F6]. The endpoint term tends to zero by the power-regularity lemma [F2] with , , and polynomial . Hence as . Applying [F5] on and taking gives the improper integral .
For the left substitution, ; its transformed function is a constant times times a polynomial of degree one in and a smooth factor bounded with two continuous derivatives. For the right substitution, and the remaining factors are smooth on . Therefore both transformed functions are by [F2], and [F3] applies.
Apply [F4] with to the functions in step 1.2. Its error constant is and the output is the stated sum, so the claimed error bound follows. The value from step 1.1 is the integral being approximated.
