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 Perron family is nonempty and uniformly bounded by the boundary data
Statement
Let be a bounded complex domain and let be continuous. Put Then:
- is nonempty;
- every satisfies on ;
- the constant function belongs to , so the Perron envelope satisfies .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A bounded complex domain and a continuous boundary datum .
The Perron lower family consists of subharmonic functions satisfying the boundary limsup inequality against (The Perron lower family for continuous boundary data).
A subharmonic function on a connected domain cannot attain a finite interior maximum unless it is constant (A plane subharmonic function with an interior maximum is constant on its component).
Proof
The constant function is harmonic, hence subharmonic, and its boundary limsup equals . Therefore by [L1], so the Perron family is nonempty.
Let and fix . By the boundary limsup condition in [L1], every boundary point has a neighbourhood such that on . The boundary is compact because is bounded, so finitely many such neighbourhoods cover ; their union leaves a compact set . If exceeded somewhere in , then upper semicontinuity would make attain its maximum over at an interior point with value , contradicting [L2] because is not constant with that value near the boundary collar. Hence on .
Letting in step 1.2 gives on for every . Together with step 1.1, this yields .

3 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
