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.

Absolute convergence makes signed improper multiple integrals independent of exhaustion

Statement

Let f:DR be locally Riemann integrable. If Df<+, then for every compact Jordan exhaustion (Kj),

Df=limjKjf,

and the value is independent of the exhaustion. Conversely, under the adopted definition, a signed improper multiple integral exists only under this absolute-convergence condition.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: An open set D, an absolutely improperly integrable f:DR, and a compact Jordan exhaustion (Kj).

[L1]

Every compact Jordan exhaustion computes the nonnegative improper integral, independently of the exhaustion (Every Jordan exhaustion computes a nonnegative improper multiple integral).

[L2]

A locally Riemann-integrable signed function is improperly integrable precisely when the nonnegative improper integral of its absolute value is finite (Improper multiple integrals and absolute convergence on open sets).

[L3]

On a nondegenerate rectangle, proper multidimensional Riemann integrals are linear and monotone (Linearity, monotonicity, the absolute-value estimate and coordinate-slice additivity for the Riemann integral in Rm).

[L4]

The integral over a bounded Jordan set is the bounding-rectangle integral of the zero extension (The Riemann integral of a bounded function over a bounded Jordan measurable set).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

Since 0f+,ff, extend the restrictions to every compact Jordan set by zero on one bounding rectangle. Monotonicity in [L3], the Jordan-set definition [L4], and the defining suprema in [L2] make both nonnegative improper integrals finite; [L1] then gives Kjf+Df+ and KjfDf along every exhaustion.

2.1

On each compact Kj, extend the three restrictions by zero to one bounding rectangle. The identity f=f+f and linearity in [L3], interpreted through [L4], give Kjf=Kjf+Kjf.

3.1

Subtracting the two finite limits in step 1.1 and using step 2.1 yields KjfDf+Df=Df, independently of the exhaustion; the converse is the defining condition in [L2].
