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 be locally Riemann integrable. If , then for every compact Jordan exhaustion ,
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 , an absolutely improperly integrable , and a compact Jordan exhaustion .
Every compact Jordan exhaustion computes the nonnegative improper integral, independently of the exhaustion (Every Jordan exhaustion computes a nonnegative improper multiple integral).
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).
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 ).
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
Since , 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 and along every exhaustion.
On each compact , extend the three restrictions by zero to one bounding rectangle. The identity and linearity in [L3], interpreted through [L4], give .
Subtracting the two finite limits in step 1.1 and using step 2.1 yields , independently of the exhaustion; the converse is the defining condition in [L2].
