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.
Integration against a Dirac measure evaluates at its point
Statement
Let be a sigma-algebra on a set , let , and let be the Dirac probability measure on . For every nonnegative -measurable ,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A measurable space, a point in it, its Dirac measure, and a nonnegative measurable function .
if and otherwise, and this set function is a probability measure on . (The Dirac set function at a point, A Dirac set function is a probability measure)
A nonnegative simple function has a finite representation by disjoint measurable sets, and its simple integral is the sum of its values times the set measures. (Nonnegative simple measurable functions, The integral of a nonnegative simple function, The nonnegative integral agrees with the simple integral on simple functions)
Every nonnegative measurable function is the pointwise increasing limit of nonnegative simple functions. (Every nonnegative measurable function is the increasing limit of simple measurable functions)
Increasing limits pass through the nonnegative Lebesgue integral. (Monotone convergence for the integral)
Proof
If is a nonnegative simple function with pairwise disjoint , then [F1] and [F2] give .
Choose the increasing simple approximation from [F3]. By [F4] and step 1.1, , including when the value is .

23 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.
