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 KDE is jointly measurable in sample and evaluation point
Statement
For a Borel normalized kernel , and , the map is Borel measurable for the finite product Borel sigma-algebra.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A Borel normalized kernel , , , and the finite product Borel data and evaluation spaces.
The sample space carries the finite product Borel sigma-algebra, and is Borel (Density targets and the kernel density estimator, The product sigma-algebra and its finite iterates).
Composition of measurable maps is measurable (Composition with a Borel measurable outer map preserves measurability).
Scalar multiples and finite sums of real measurable functions are measurable (Arithmetic and lattice operations preserve measurability whenever they are defined).
For positive integers , under the coordinate identification (The Borel product of R^m and R^n is the Borel sigma-algebra of R^{m+n}).
Proof
Induct on the number of factors using the finite product recursion in [F1] and the two-factor equality [F4]. Starting with , this identifies the specified -factor sigma-algebra with . For each , the affine map is continuous on this Euclidean space: inverse images of open sets are open, hence inverse images of Borel sets are Borel by closure under complements and countable unions. It is therefore measurable for the specified product sigma-algebra. Composing with the Borel map gives a measurable real function by [F2].
Applying [F3] to the finite sum of these functions and multiplying by the constant proves that is Borel measurable.
