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.

Dini pointwise convergence criterion for Fourier series

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice.

Let f be a one-period integrable function, let x,sR, and assume there is δ(0,1/2) such that

0δf(x+t)+f(xt)2stdt<.

Then

SNf(x)sas N.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice, a one-period integrable function f, reals x,s, and a real δ with 0<δ<1/2 such that 0δf(x+t)+f(xt)2stdt<.

[L1]

For tZ, DN(t)=sin((2N+1)πt)/sin(πt) (Closed form and size bounds for the Dirichlet kernel).

[L2]

Assuming the Axiom of Countable Choice, Fourier coefficients of an L1(T) function tend to 0 at infinity (Riemann-Lebesgue lemma for Fourier coefficients).

[L3]

SNf(x)s=01/2(f(x+t)+f(xt)2s)DN(t)dt (Symmetric difference formula for Fourier partial sums).

Proof

1.1

Put a(t):=f(x+t)+f(xt)2s. By [L3], SNf(x)s=0δa(t)DN(t)dt+δ1/2a(t)DN(t)dt.

2.1

For 0<tδ<1/2, one has 0<πt<π/2<2, so [L4] gives sin(πt)πt/3. Define ψ0(t):=1(0,δ](t)a(t)eiπtsin(πt). Then ψ0(t)3π1(0,δ](t)a(t)t, so the hypothesis makes ψ0L1(T). Using [L1], 0δa(t)DN(t)dt=Im01ψ0(t)e2πiNtdt=Imψ^0(N).

2.2

Define ψ1(t):=1[δ,1/2](t)a(t)eiπtsin(πt). Since sin(πt) is bounded away from 0 on [δ,1/2] and aL1([δ,1/2]), one has ψ1L1(T). Again [L1] turns the second integral in step 1.1 into δ1/2a(t)DN(t)dt=Imψ^1(N).

3.1

By [L2], both ψ^0(N) and ψ^1(N) tend to 0. Steps 2.1 and 2.2 therefore make both integrals in step 1.1 tend to 0. Hence SNf(x)s0, or equivalently SNf(x)s.

Dependency tree · two levels

13 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.
