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.

Ball averages vary continuously with the centre and radius

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

Let f∈Lloc1(Rn). The map Φ:Rn×(0,∞)→C,Φ(x,r):=Arf(x), is continuous.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice, a locally integrable function f, a point (x,r)∈Rn×(0,∞), and a sequence (xk,rk)→(x,r) with rk>0.

[L1]

The ball average is Arf(x)=1λ(B(x,r))∫B(x,r)f(y) dλ(y). (The average of a locally integrable function over a Euclidean ball)

[L2]

Euclidean balls have positive finite Lebesgue measure. (Euclidean balls have positive finite Lebesgue measure)

[L4]

Dominated convergence passes pointwise almost-everywhere limits through an integrable majorant. (Dominated convergence)

Proof

technique · direct
1.1givenchoosealgebra

Choose ρ>0 with 0<ρ<r/2. For all sufficiently large k, [given, choose, algebra] ∣rk−r∣<ρ and ∥xk−x∥2<ρ. Then B(xk,rk)⊆B(x,r+2ρ). Since f is locally integrable, the function g:=∣f∣ 1B(x,r+2ρ) is integrable.

1.2algebra

Put χk:=1B(xk,rk) and χ:=1B(x,r). [algebra] If y∉∂B(x,r), then ∥y−x∥2≠r, so for all sufficiently large k the membership of y in B(xk,rk) agrees with its membership in B(x,r). Thus χk(y)→χ(y) for every y∉∂B(x,r).

1.3L2L3algebra

The boundary sphere satisfies [L2, L3, algebra] ∂B(x,r)⊆B(x,r+1m)∖B(x,r−1m)(m>1/r). By [L2] and [L3], λ ⁣(B(x,r+1m)∖B(x,r−1m))=λ(B(0,1))((r+1m)n−(r−1m)n)→0, so λ(∂B(x,r))=0.

1.4L2L3algebra

By [L2] and [L3], [L2, L3, algebra] λ(B(xk,rk))=λ(B(0,1)) rkn→λ(B(0,1)) rn=λ(B(x,r)). The limit denominator is positive by [L2].

2.1step 1.1step 1.2step 1.3L4

Steps 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 let us apply [L4] to [step 1.1, step 1.2, step 1.3, L4] fχk, dominated by g, and obtain ∫f(y)χk(y) dλ(y)→∫f(y)χ(y) dλ(y). In other words, ∫B(xk,rk)f dλ→∫B(x,r)f dλ.

3.1L1step 2.1step 1.4algebra∎

Combining steps 2.1 and 1.4 yields [L1, step 2.1, step 1.4, algebra] Arkf(xk)→Arf(x). Since the approximating sequence was arbitrary, Φ is continuous.

Dependency tree · two levels

42 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.
