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.

The Dirichlet normal-mixture density is jointly measurable and normalized

Statement

Let P(R) be the probability measures on the Borel sets of R, equipped with the evaluation sigma-algebra, and let σ>0. For F∈P(R) define pF,σ(x):=∫R1σ2πexp⁡ ⁣(−(x−z)22σ2)F(dz). Then (F,σ,x)↦pF,σ(x) is jointly measurable, 0<pF,σ(x)≤(σ2π)−1 for every (F,σ,x), and ∫RpF,σ(x) dx=1. In particular it is the Lebesgue density of the convolution of F with N(0,σ2).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The evaluation sigma-algebra on P(R), F∈P(R), and σ>0.

[A1]

Assume AC for the library normal location-scale density interface. The Axiom of Choice

[F1]

A positive-variance normal law has its location-scale density: z↦(σ2π)−1exp⁡(−(x−z)2/(2σ2)) is the Lebesgue density of N(x,σ2) and integrates to one.

[F2]

Probability measures and probability spaces and Measure kernel and probability kernel: each F is a probability measure, and the evaluation map (F,A)↦F(A) makes K((F,σ,x),A):=F(A) a probability kernel from P(R)×(0,∞)×R to R.

[F3]

Measurability of integration against a kernel: integrating a nonnegative product-measurable function against a probability kernel gives a measurable function of the kernel's input.

[F4]

Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product: nonnegative measurable functions on product measure spaces may be integrated in either order.

Proof

Given: The hypotheses in the Statement.

1.1A1F2F3given

The kernel K in [F2] is a probability kernel because, for fixed (F,σ,x), A↦F(A) is a probability measure, while for fixed Borel A, (F,σ,x)↦F(A) is measurable by the evaluation sigma-algebra. The integrand (σ,x,z)↦(σ2π)−1exp⁡(−(x−z)2/(2σ2)) is continuous on (0,∞)×R2 and hence product-measurable. Therefore [F3] makes its integral against K jointly measurable.

1.2F1givenalgebra

The integrand is strictly positive, so its integral against a probability measure is positive. It is bounded above by (σ2π)−1, so the integral is finite and has the stated upper bound.

1.3F1F4givenalgebra

By [F4], ∫RpF,σ(x) dx=∫R(∫R1σ2πe−(x−z)2/(2σ2) dx)F(dz)=∫R1 F(dz)=1, where the inner integral is one by [F1] and F has total mass one. Thus pF,σ is a probability density.

2.1F1F4givenalgebra∎

For every Borel set B⊆R, Tonelli [F4] gives ∫BpF,σ(x) dx=∫R(∫B1σ2πe−(x−z)2/(2σ2) dx)F(dz). The inner integral is N(z,σ2)(B) by [F1], so the right side is the convolution measure (F∗N(0,σ2))(B) by its definition. Hence this density represents the convolution law in the Statement.
