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.

Given: The coefficients, partial sums, and Cesaro means in the statement.
The canonical natural is positive. Thus, putting , the definition of gives . Also with ; putting gives for every (Abel summability by and Cesaro summability by the Cesaro means of the partial sums, Finite sums and finite products, by recursion, The canonical natural of a field, Canonical naturals are positive and strictly increasing).
For , the geometric series is absolutely convergent because its terms are nonnegative. Its Cauchy product with itself has coefficient and sum (For , , and for the series diverges, Monotonicity of and of , Basic properties of the absolute value, The Cauchy product of two series: , If and both converge absolutely then their Cauchy product converges absolutely, with sum , Finite sums and finite products, by recursion, The canonical natural of a field).
Convergent real series may be added, subtracted and scaled term by term (Convergent series add and scale termwise).
A nonnegative series dominated termwise by a convergent nonnegative series converges (If eventually, convergence of gives convergence of , and divergence of gives divergence of ).
Proof
Choose with for every . Then ; [L2] and [L3] give convergence of the majorant series, so [L4] gives absolute convergence of .
Since , step 1.1 gives absolute convergence of . With , the shifted series satisfies ; combining the two convergent series by [L3] gives .
Since with , step 2.1 likewise gives absolute convergence and . Substitute step 2.1 and to get the formula.
Depends on
- Abel summability by $\lim_{x\uparrow1}\sum a_nx^n$ and Cesaro summability by the Cesaro means of the partial sums
- Finite sums and finite products, by recursion
- For $|r| < 1$, $\sum_{k \ge 0} r^k = 1/(1-r)$, and for $|r| \ge 1$ the series diverges
- Monotonicity of $x \mapsto x^n$ and of $n \mapsto a^n$
- Basic properties of the absolute value
- The Cauchy product of two series: $c_n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} a_k b_{n-k}$
- If $\sum a_k$ and $\sum b_k$ both converge absolutely then their Cauchy product converges absolutely, with sum $AB$
- If $0 \le a_k \le b_k$ eventually, convergence of $\sum b_k$ gives convergence of $\sum a_k$, and divergence of $\sum a_k$ gives divergence of $\sum b_k$
- Convergent series add and scale termwise
- The canonical natural $\iota(n) = n \cdot 1_F$ of a field
- Canonical naturals are positive and strictly increasing
