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 fundamental theorem of calculus and integration by parts

Statement

Let a,b lie in an open interval J, and let f be continuously differentiable on J. Then

∫abf′(t) dt=f(b)−f(a).

If f,g are continuously differentiable on J, then ∫abf(t)g′(t) dt=f(b)g(b)−f(a)g(a)−∫abf′(t)g(t) dt. Both identities hold for oriented endpoints.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The difference-quotient definition of derivative, the local oriented integral of continuous functions, linearity of that integral, the product rule, and the closed-interval mean value theorem.

[F1]

Continuity and derivative on a real interval: continuous differentiability on an open interval includes existence and continuity of the derivative.

[L1]

Continuous functions have an oriented Riemann integral: for continuous h, H(x)=∫axh(t) dt is defined and H′(x)=h(x); the integral is additive and oriented.

[L2]

The oriented Riemann integral is linear in continuous integrands: the integral of a sum is the sum of the integrals.

[L3]

Sum, product, quotient, and chain rules from difference quotients: differentiability implies continuity and (fg)′=f′g+fg′.

[L4]

Mean value theorem on a closed real interval: a continuous function on [a,b] differentiable on (a,b) satisfies the mean value theorem.

Proof

1.1givenF1L1L3L4constructalgebra

Assume first a<b and let H(x)=∫axf′(t) dt. By [L1], H′(x)=f′(x) on an open interval containing [a,b], and H(a)=0. By [L3], H is continuous there. Thus q=f−H is continuous on [a,b], differentiable on (a,b), and q′=0. Applying [L4] gives q(b)−q(a)=0, so f(b)−H(b)=f(a). Rearranging proves the first identity.

1.2L1algebra

For a=b the first identity is 0=0; reversing endpoints proves it for a>b.

2.1step 1.1step 1.2L1L2L3algebra∎

Assume a<b. By [L3], (fg)′=f′g+fg′. These terms are continuous: for continuous u,v, ∣u(t)v(t)−u(t0)v(t0)∣≤∣u(t)∣ ∣v(t)−v(t0)∣+∣v(t0)∣ ∣u(t)−u(t0)∣, and continuity of u bounds ∣u(t)∣ near t0. Thus fg is continuously differentiable. Apply step 1.1 to fg and then [L2]: f(b)g(b)−f(a)g(a)=∫ab(f′g+fg′)=∫abf′g+∫abfg′. Rearranging gives the second identity. For a=b both sides are zero, and for a>b reverse endpoints using [L1].
