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.
A double-exponential envelope bounds the omitted trapezoid tails
Statement
Let , , and let be continuous with For and nonnegative integers with , one has where the left and right integral means . The omitted trapezoid samples obey the same bound:
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , a continuous satisfying the stated envelope, , and .
The real exponential function and the number by a power series and The exponential function is smooth and : is positive and has derivative .
The chain rule, in one line from Carathéodory: if is differentiable at and is differentiable at , then is differentiable at with : derivatives of the displayed exponential compositions are obtained by the chain rule.
Substitution: if is differentiable on with integrable and is continuous on an interval containing , then : on finite intervals, the differentiable increasing substitution changes the integral by its derivative factor.
Proof
For , finite-interval substitution from [F3] gives For , , so the right side is at most after taking ; the endpoint limit follows from [F4]. Since , , and each continuous one-sided tail is bounded by .
Apply step 1.1 with to and with to , using the envelope. Adding proves the asserted integral bound and absolute integrability of both tails.
The function is nonincreasing for , since its derivative is by [F1]–[F2]. For every integer , ; summing finite partial tails and taking their increasing limit bounds the right omitted samples by . The same comparison for bounds the left tail, and step 1.1 gives the stated sum bound.
The two bounds in steps 2.1 and 2.2 are finite and have the displayed right-hand side, proving both claims.
Depends on
- The real exponential function and the number $e$ by a power series
- The exponential function is smooth and $(\exp)'=\exp$
- The chain rule, in one line from Carathéodory: if $g$ is differentiable at $c$ and $f$ is differentiable at $g(c)$, then $f \circ g$ is differentiable at $c$ with $(f \circ g)'(c) = f'(g(c))\,g'(c)$
- Substitution: if $\varphi$ is differentiable on $[c,d]$ with $\varphi'$ integrable and $f$ is continuous on an interval containing $\varphi([c,d])$, then $\int_{\varphi(c)}^{\varphi(d)} f = \int_c^d (f\circ\varphi)\,\varphi'$
- The exponential tends to $+\infty$ at $+\infty$ and to $0$ at $-\infty$
