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.

A polyhedral event restricts the contrast to a computable interval

Statement

In the setup of Polyhedral selection event and contrast interval, for every y∈Rn, Ay≤b⟺G(Z(y)) and L(Z(y))≤T(y)≤U(Z(y)). The functions L,U are Borel measurable as extended-real-valued functions, and the set of pairs (t,z) satisfying the right-hand side is Borel.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Finite n,m, fixed A,b,η≠0, and the notation of the definition.

[F1]

The contrast decomposition is y=cηT(y)+Z(y) with cη=η/∥η∥2. Polyhedral selection event and contrast interval

[F2]

Each row has coefficient rj=ajTcη and offset dj(z)=bj−ajTz; the sign of rj determines its upper, lower, or zero-row feasibility condition in the definitions of L,U,G. Polyhedral selection event and contrast interval

Proof

1.1F1algebra

Since Pηy=cη(ηTy)=cηT(y) and Z(y)=(In−Pη)y, we have y=cηT(y)+Z(y).

2.1F1F2step 1.1casesalgebra

For each row j, the inequality ajTy≤bj becomes rjT(y)≤dj(Z(y)). If rj>0, division gives T(y)≤dj(Z(y))/rj; if rj<0, division reverses the inequality and gives T(y)≥dj(Z(y))/rj; if rj=0, the row is feasible exactly when dj(Z(y))≥0. Intersecting the finitely many row conditions is therefore equivalent to G(Z(y)), T(y)≥L(Z(y)), and T(y)≤U(Z(y)), with the empty-index conventions in [F2].

3.1F2step 2.1algebra∎

Each dj is affine and hence continuous. The finite maximum defining L and finite minimum defining U are Borel, with the constant infinite values in the empty-index cases; G is a finite intersection of closed half-spaces. Thus the fiber set is Borel. The rowwise equivalence in step 2.1 proves both implications, including zero coefficients and empty or degenerate intervals.
