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 ()).
Let . The map is continuous.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice, a locally integrable function , a point , and a sequence with .
The ball average is (The average of a locally integrable function over a Euclidean ball)
Euclidean balls have positive finite Lebesgue measure. (Euclidean balls have positive finite Lebesgue measure)
Lebesgue measure scales by under dilation by . (For a nonzero real , dilation by multiplies Lebesgue outer measure by , and reflection in the origin preserves it)
Dominated convergence passes pointwise almost-everywhere limits through an integrable majorant. (Dominated convergence)
Proof
Choose with . For all sufficiently large , [given, choose, algebra] and . Then Since is locally integrable, the function is integrable.
Put and . [algebra] If , then , so for all sufficiently large the membership of in agrees with its membership in . Thus for every .
The boundary sphere satisfies [L2, L3, algebra] By [L2] and [L3], so .
By [L2] and [L3], [L2, L3, algebra] The limit denominator is positive by [L2].
Steps 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 let us apply [L4] to [step 1.1, step 1.2, step 1.3, L4] , dominated by , and obtain In other words,
Combining steps 2.1 and 1.4 yields [L1, step 2.1, step 1.4, algebra] Since the approximating sequence was arbitrary, is continuous.
Depends on
- The average of a locally integrable function over a Euclidean ball
- The Axiom of Countable Choice ($\mathrm{AC}_\omega$)
- Dominated convergence
- Euclidean balls have positive finite Lebesgue measure
- For a nonzero real $c$, dilation by $c$ multiplies Lebesgue outer measure by $|c|^n$, and reflection in the origin preserves it

38 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.
