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.

Countable Choice is the axiom required by the bounded-Riemann-to-Lebesgue integral and Lebesgue change-of-variables suppliers. The Axiom of Countable Choice ().
as a mixed improper integral. The real Gamma function by Euler's integral.
This Euler integral is finite for by convergence and strictly positive by the positive-integrand observation in the Gamma definition. Euler's Gamma integral converges exactly for positive real parameters The real Gamma function by Euler's integral.
Bounded Riemann-integrable functions on compact intervals have the same Lebesgue integral. A bounded Riemann integrable function on a closed bounded interval is Lebesgue measurable and has the same integral.
A continuous function on a compact interval is bounded and Riemann integrable. A continuous function on is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion.
Monotone convergence holds for nonnegative measurable functions. Monotone convergence for the integral.
For a diffeomorphism between open sets, Lebesgue change of variables holds for nonnegative measurable functions under Countable Choice. A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for nonnegative Lebesgue measurable functions.
Positive real powers and the real exponential are continuous on their domains. Continuity and derivatives of positive-base real powers The exponential function is smooth and .
Under Countable Choice, one-dimensional Lebesgue measure is a complete measure on the Lebesgue sigma-algebra, which contains all Borel sets. We use its restriction to . Lebesgue measurable sets, the family , and the restricted set function Assuming countable choice, is a sigma-algebra containing every elementary set and is a complete measure extending elementary volume Assuming countable choice, every Borel subset of is Lebesgue measurable.

By [F7], is continuous and hence Borel and Lebesgue measurable on with the measure in [F8]. For each integer , its restriction to is continuous, hence bounded Riemann integrable by [F4], and [F3] identifies its Riemann integral with its Lebesgue integral. The truncated functions increase to .
Monotone convergence [F5] identifies with the limit of those truncated integrals. By the mixed-improper-integral definition [F1] and convergence [F2], this limit is , so has finite positive Lebesgue integral.
Apply [F6] to the diffeomorphism of . Since and , it gives Multiplication by is valid by [F2] and yields one.
