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: if u and v are differentiable on [a,b] then ∫abuv′=u(b)v(b)−u(a)v(a)−∫abu′v

Statement

False claim: if u,v:[a,b]→R are differentiable at every point of [a,b] (The derivative f′(c)=lim⁡x→cf(x)−f(c)x−c of f:A→R at a point c∈A that is a limit point of A, and differentiability on a set), then

∫abu v′  =  u(b)v(b)−u(a)v(a)  −  ∫abu′ v.

That is If u,v are differentiable on [a,b] with u′,v′ integrable, then ∫abuv′=u(b)v(b)−u(a)v(a)−∫abu′v with the hypothesis "u′ and v′ are integrable" deleted, and it is false.

The falsity is undefinedness, not a wrong number. Take [a,b]=[0,1], let u:=G be the everywhere-differentiable function of A function differentiable on [0,1] whose derivative is unbounded, hence not Riemann integrable, and let v(x):=x. Then u and v are differentiable at every point of [0,1], and uv′=G is continuous hence integrable, so the left-hand side exists. But u′v is the function x↦x G′(x), which is unbounded on [0,1], hence has no Darboux sums at all (For bounded f on [a,b] and a partition P: the infimum mi and supremum Mi of f on the i-th subinterval, and the lower and upper Darboux sums L(f,P)=∑imiΔi and U(f,P)=∑iMiΔi) and is not Riemann integrable: the symbol ∫01u′v on the right-hand side does not denote. An equation one of whose sides is undefined is not a true equation.

The correct hypothesis, and when it is automatic. If u,v are differentiable on [a,b] with u′,v′ integrable, then ∫abuv′=u(b)v(b)−u(a)v(a)−∫abu′v asks that u′ and v′ be integrable, which is what makes (uv)′=u′v+uv′ integrable and lets the second fundamental theorem be applied to uv. It holds automatically when u and v are continuously differentiable, since a continuous function on [a,b] is integrable (A continuous function on [a,b] is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The function G:[0,1]→R of A function differentiable on [0,1] whose derivative is unbounded, hence not Riemann integrable, differentiable at every point of [0,1], together with the points un:=αn+14hn of that item, where αn=1/ι(n+2), and v(x):=x on [0,1].

[A1]

The false claim above.

[L1]

G is differentiable at every point of [0,1], G′ is unbounded there, and G′(un)=316 ι(n+2)2 with un>αn=1/ι(n+2) (A function differentiable on [0,1] whose derivative is unbounded, hence not Riemann integrable).

[L5]
[L6]

Ordered-field arithmetic: multiplying an inequality by a positive real preserves it, the order is total and transitive, and a positive real has a positive inverse (Ordered field, Complete ordered field (least-upper-bound property), Intervals of R: the nine order-convex forms, nondegeneracy, and length).

Refutation

technique · direct
1.1

u:=G and v are differentiable at every point of [0,1], by [L1] and [L2]; so the hypothesis of [A1] is satisfied by this pair.

givenA1L1L2
2.1

uv′=G⋅1=G, which is continuous on [0,1] by [L3] and therefore integrable there; so the left-hand side of [A1] exists.

step 1.1L2L3
2.2

u′v is the function x↦x G′(x) on [0,1]. At the point un its value is un G′(un)>αn⋅316ι(n+2)2=316 ι(n+2), using αn=1/ι(n+2)>0 and [L1].

step 1.1L1L5L6
3.1

Given a real M≥0, [L5] supplies n with 163M<ι(n+2), so unG′(un)>M by step 2.2; hence u′v is unbounded on [0,1].

step 2.2L5L6
4.1

By [L4] the function u′v has no Darboux sums and is not Riemann integrable on [0,1], so the symbol ∫01u′v appearing in [A1] does not denote a real number.

step 3.1L4
5.1

So [A1] fails at this pair: its left-hand side is defined by step 2.1 and its right-hand side is not, by step 4.1, and the asserted identity is therefore not a true statement about them.
