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 standard finite product norms are equivalent

Statement

Let $n \geq 1$ and let $E = \prod_{k < n} E_{k}$ be a finite product of normed spaces, equipped with the three standard product norms of The standard product norms on a finite product of normed spaces. Then for every $x \in E$ , $∥ x ∥_{\max} \leq ∥ x ∥_{2} \leq ∥ x ∥_{1} \leq n ∥ x ∥_{\max} .$ Consequently these three norms are equivalent.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A natural number $n \geq 1$ , normed spaces $E_{0}, \dots, E_{n - 1}$ , and a point $x = (x_{0}, \dots, x_{n - 1}) \in \prod_{k < n} E_{k}$ .

[L1]

The three product norms are $∥ x ∥_{\max} = \max_{k < n} ∥ x_{k} ∥$ , $∥ x ∥_{1} = \sum_{k < n} ∥ x_{k} ∥$ , and $∥ x ∥_{2} = (\sum_{k < n} ∥ x_{k} ∥^{2})^{1 / 2}$ (The standard product norms on a finite product of normed spaces).

[L2]

In $R^{n}$ , the Euclidean norm is bounded above by the $1$ -norm, and Cauchy-Schwarz holds (Cauchy-Schwarz $∣ ⟨ x, y ⟩ ∣ \leq ∥ x ∥_{2} ∥ y ∥_{2}$ with its equality case, the triangle inequality for $∥ \cdot ∥_{2}$ , the parallelogram law and polarisation).

1.1L1algebra

For each coordinate, $∥ x_{k} ∥^{2}$ is one of the nonnegative summands in $\sum_{j < n} ∥ x_{j} ∥^{2}$ , so $∥ x_{k} ∥ \leq ∥ x ∥_{2}$ for every $k$ and therefore $∥ x ∥_{\max} \leq ∥ x ∥_{2}$ .

1.2L1L2

Applying the scalar inequality $∥ (a_{k}) ∥_{2} \leq ∥ (a_{k}) ∥_{1}$ from [L2] to the nonnegative real tuple $(∥ x_{0} ∥, \dots, ∥ x_{n - 1} ∥)$ gives $∥ x ∥_{2} \leq ∥ x ∥_{1}$ .

1.3L1algebra

Since every coordinate norm is at most $∥ x ∥_{\max}$ , summing $n$ such bounds gives $∥ x ∥_{1} \leq n ∥ x ∥_{\max}$ .

The three displayed inequalities of steps 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are exactly the comparison constants needed for equivalence of the three norms.
