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.
FALSE: finite volume implies finite lateral surface area
Statement
Every solid of revolution with finite volume has finite lateral surface area.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Gabriel's horn, obtained by rotating for , and its compact truncations .
If and is continuous, then its solid of revolution about the -axis is compact and Jordan measurable and has volume (The disc formula for the volume of a solid of revolution).
The improper integral converges for rational and diverges for (Improper integrals over unbounded intervals, The improper -test for rational exponents).
If and is on a neighbourhood of , positive on , and vanishes at most at the endpoints, then the surface obtained by rotating about the axis has area (The surface of revolution has area ).
Products, sums, scalar multiples, and quotients with nonzero denominator obey their usual derivative rules (Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: , , , and when ).
If and integrable satisfy for every , then (If on and both are integrable then ; and ).
Refutation
Fix . The profile is continuous and positive on , so [L1] applies with , and gives the truncation volume . By [L2] at , these volumes tend to the finite value .
On a neighbourhood of the same is with by [L4], and it is positive throughout, so the hypotheses of [L3] hold and . Since on , [L5] gives . By [L2] at , the right side is unbounded as .
Thus the horn has finite improper volume but unbounded compact-truncation lateral area, refuting the implication. The truncation is excluded because [L1] and [L3] need and respectively; the refutation concerns the unbounded endpoint and uses only .
Depends on
- The disc formula for the volume of a solid of revolution
- Improper integrals over unbounded intervals
- The improper $p$-test for rational exponents
- The surface of revolution has area $2\pi\int_a^b r(s)\sqrt{1+r'(s)^2}\,ds$
- Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: $(f+g)'(c) = f'(c) + g'(c)$, $(\alpha f)'(c) = \alpha f'(c)$, $(fg)'(c) = f'(c)g(c) + f(c)g'(c)$, and $(f/g)'(c) = \bigl(f'(c)g(c) - f(c)g'(c)\bigr)/g(c)^{2}$ when $g(c) \ne 0$
- If $f \le g$ on $[a,b]$ and both are integrable then $\int_a^b f \le \int_a^b g$; and $m(b-a) \le \int_a^b f \le M(b-a)$
