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 continuous strongly monotone map of finite-dimensional space is bijective
Statement
Let , , and let be continuous. Suppose
Then is bijective. Its inverse satisfies
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , a continuous map , a constant , and the strong-monotonicity inequality in the Statement. The inner product and norm are those of .
The Euclidean inner product on : is the Euclidean inner product on , and .
Brouwer fixed point theorem: every continuous map from the closed unit ball in to itself has a fixed point.
The strong-monotonicity inequality in the Statement holds for every pair , and .
Proof
Fix and put . Applying [A1] with and using [F2] gives . Choose ; then whenever .
Let when , and when . The two formulas agree on the sphere, so is continuous and maps into the closed ball . Thus is a continuous self-map of ; rescaling by and applying [F3] gives a fixed point .
If , the radial projection can equal only when its input equals , hence and . If , the equality implies for some ; therefore , contradicting step 1.1. So the fixed point is interior and . Since was arbitrary, is onto.
If , [A1] gives , hence ; thus is one-to-one. For and , [A1] and [F2] give . Dividing when , with equality of inverse values when , proves the inverse bound and completes bijectivity.

Dependency tree · two levels
23 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.
