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.

c_0 is a closed subspace of ell-infinity

Statement

$c_{0}$ is a closed linear subspace of $ℓ^{\infty}$ in the sup norm.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The sequence spaces $c_{0} \subseteq ℓ^{\infty}$ .

[F1]

$c_{0}$ consists of bounded sequences tending to zero, with the sup norm (The sequence spaces c_0 and ell-infinity).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1

Sums and scalar multiples of null sequences are null, so $c_{0}$ is a linear subspace.

F1given

1.2

If $x^{(j)} \in c_{0}$ and $∥ x^{(j)} - x ∥_{\infty} \to 0$ , choose $j$ with this norm below $ε / 2$ , then $N$ with $∣ x_{n}^{(j)} ∣ < ε / 2$ for $n \geq N$ . Thus $∣ x_{n} ∣ < ε$ for $n \geq N$ .

F1givenchoose

2.1

Hence $x \in c_{0}$ and the subspace is closed.

Dependency tree · two levels

6 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
