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.

Grönwall inequality with an integrable coefficient

Statement

Let a≤b, let A≥0, let u:[a,b]→[0,∞) be continuous, and let ℓ:[a,b]→[0,∞) be Lebesgue measurable with ∫abℓ(s) ds<∞. If u(t)≤A+∫atℓ(s)u(s) ds(a≤t≤b), then u(t)≤Aexp⁡ ⁣(∫atℓ(s) ds)(a≤t≤b). If instead u(t)≤A+∫tbℓ(s)u(s) ds for every t∈[a,b], then u(t)≤Aexp⁡ ⁣(∫tbℓ(s) ds)(a≤t≤b).

The exponential has derivative er; the mean-value theorem therefore makes r↦e−r Lipschitz on every compact interval. The exponential function is smooth and (exp⁡)′=exp⁡, Mean value theorem on a closed real interval

[F8]

When a<b, reflection on (a,b) is a C1 diffeomorphism, so substitution preserves Lebesgue integrals of L1 functions; the endpoints have measure zero. A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for L^1 functions

Proof

Given: The hypotheses and notation in the Statement.

1.1F1F2F4F5F6givenconstruct

If a=b, both hypotheses reduce to u(a)≤A, which is the claimed bound. Hence assume a<b and first consider the forward inequality. Define C(t)=∫atℓ(s) ds and V(t)=A+∫atℓ(s)u(s) ds. Continuity of u on the compact interval makes it bounded, so ℓu∈L1. By [F2], both C and V are absolutely continuous, and the hypothesis says 0≤u(t)≤V(t). The range of C is contained in the compact interval [0,C(b)]; [F6] makes r↦e−r Lipschitz there. Thus e−C is absolutely continuous by [F4], and W(t):=e−C(t)V(t) is absolutely continuous by [F5].

Since ℓ,ℓu∈L1[a,b], [F9] gives C′=ℓ and V′=ℓu almost everywhere. By [F3], the absolutely continuous function W has an integrable derivative and is the integral of that derivative after its initial value. Intersecting these full-measure sets, at every remaining point [F7] gives W′=e−C(V′−C′V)=e−Cℓ(u−V)≤0, since u≤V and ℓ≥0. Therefore [F3] yields W(t)−W(a)=∫atW′(s) ds≤0. As W(a)=A and u(t)≤V(t), we obtain u(t)≤V(t)≤AeC(t), the claimed forward estimate.

By step 1.1, assume a<b. Set u~(r)=u(a+b−r) and ℓ~(r)=ℓ(a+b−r). By [F8], reflection preserves measurability and integrability and gives ∫arℓ~(q)u~(q) dq=∫a+b−rbℓ(s)u(s) ds. Thus u~(r)≤A+∫arℓ~(q)u~(q) dq. The forward result in steps 1.1–2.1 applies to these continuous and integrable functions. Substituting r=a+b−t into its bound gives u(t)≤Aexp⁡(∫tbℓ(s) ds).
