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.

Finite counting measure recovers finite Holder and implies the signed Cauchy-Schwarz inequality

Via p is the Lp space of counting measure, the measure space {0,,n1} with counting measure identifies Lp with the published p-norm structure of The p-norms xp for rational p1, and x. Under that identification, Holder's inequality for integrals, including the endpoint cases becomes Holder's inequality for finite sums and conjugate real exponents for p,q>1. At p=q=2, Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for L2 gives the stronger absolute-product estimate

k<nxkykx2y2.

The real triangle inequality then gives k<nxkykk<nxkyk, recovering the signed estimates in The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for finite sums and Cauchy-Schwarz x,yx2y2 with its equality case, the triangle inequality for 2, the parallelogram law and polarisation. Thus the integral and finite forms are compatible, but the absolute-product and signed left sides are not identical.

Dependency tree · two levels

49 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.
