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.

Error bound after endpoint power regularization

Statement

Assume Countable Choice and the inputs of Finite endpoint power substitution followed by Gauss–Jacobi quadrature. Let FL,FR be its transformed functions and define Cn=1(2n)!R∫01p~n(s)2 ds, where p~n is the monic degree-n polynomial orthogonal for Lebesgue measure on [0,1]. Then the improper integral I=∫abf(x) dx exists, the algorithm's output is I^=Q~n(FL)+Q~n(FR), and ∣I−I^∣≤Cn(∥FL(2n)∥∞+∥FR(2n)∥∞). Here Q~n(H)=12∑j=1nwjH((1+zj)/2) is the affine image on [0,1] of the n-node α=β=0 rule on [−1,1].

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice, a<b, n≥1, α,β>−1, nonnegative integers ma,mb, h∈C2n([a,b]), and positive integers qa,qb with qa(α+1)−1>2n and qb(β+1)−1>2n.

[A1]

The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω): this axiom is used only to form the Lebesgue-density Gaussian rule.

[F1]

Finite endpoint power substitution followed by Gauss–Jacobi quadrature: xL(t)=a+(c−a)tqa and xR(t)=b−(b−c)tqb, and FL,R=f(xL,R)∣xL,R′∣ on (0,1], extended by zero at 0; the output is the sum of the two shifted n-node Gauss–Jacobi values.

[F2]

A sufficiently high power regularizes finite logarithmic endpoint factors: if δ>r, then tδP(log⁡t), extended by zero at 0 for any polynomial P, is Cr on [0,1] with its first r derivatives zero at 0.

[F3]

Gauss–Jacobi exactness and the derivative remainder: for the weight 1 on [−1,1], the n-node Gaussian rule has error constant (2n)!−1∫−11pn2 multiplying the supremum norm of the 2n-th derivative.

[F4]

Substitution: if φ is differentiable on [c,d] with φ′ integrable and f is continuous on an interval containing φ([c,d]), then ∫φ(c)φ(d)f=∫cd(f∘φ) φ′: on a compact interval, differentiable substitution with integrable derivative gives the corresponding oriented change-of-variable identity for continuous integrands.

[F5]

Higher derivatives and the classes Ck and C∞: C2n means continuous derivatives through order 2n, including one-sided endpoint derivatives.

[F8]

The exponent, product, quotient, and iterated-power laws for positive real bases and real exponents and Order, continuity, range, and the product, quotient, and reciprocal laws for the natural logarithm: positive-base powers obey product and iterated-power laws, while log⁡(uv)=log⁡u+log⁡v. For a positive integer q, iterating the logarithm product law gives log⁡(tq)=qlog⁡t.

Proof

1.1A1F1F2F5F7F8givenalgebra

Put c=(a+b)/2. On the left half, xL(t)−a=(c−a)tqa and b−xL(t)=(b−a)(1−tqa/2)≥(b−a)/2. The endpoint logarithm is log⁡((c−a)/(b−a))+qalog⁡t, so its ma-th power is a polynomial in log⁡t; the opposite power and logarithm and h(xL(t)) have C2n derivatives because their arguments remain positive and bounded away from zero, by [F7]. Hence FL(t)=tδLPL(log⁡t)ϕL(t) times a constant, where δL=qa(α+1)−1>2n, deg⁡PL≤ma, and ϕL∈C2n([0,1]). By [F2] and the product rule, FL extends to C2n at zero with the assigned value.

1.2F1F2F5F7F8givenalgebra

On the right half, b−xR(t)=(b−c)tqb and xR(t)−a=(b−a)(1−tqb/2)≥(b−a)/2. Its singular logarithm is log⁡((b−c)/(b−a))+qblog⁡t, while the opposite factors and h(xR(t)) have C2n derivatives by [F7]. The same factorization has δR=qb(β+1)−1>2n and a polynomial in log⁡t of degree at most mb; [F2] therefore gives FR∈C2n([0,1]).

1.3F3F6givenalgebra

For H∈C2n([0,1]), apply [F3] to H((1+t)/2) on [−1,1] and multiply the integral and quadrature values by 1/2. The chain rule contributes 2−2n to the 2n-th derivative, so the shifted rule's error constant is 2−2n−1(2n)!R−1∫−11pn(t)2dt=(2n)!R−1∫01p~n(s)2ds=Cn; the affine node polynomial is p~n(s)=2−npn(2s−1). Consequently its error is at most Cn∥H(2n)∥∞.

2.1F1F4step 1.1step 1.2

For every 0<ε<1, apply [F4] on [ε,1]. Since xL is increasing, ∫ε1FL(t) dt=∫xL(ε)cf(x) dx. Since xR is decreasing and FR(t)=−f(xR(t))xR′(t), the oriented substitution gives ∫ε1FR(t) dt=∫cxR(ε)f(x) dx. Letting ε↓0, the endpoints tend to a and b, while FL,FR are continuous on [0,1] by steps 1.1–1.2. Thus both improper half-integrals converge and their sum is I=∫01FL+∫01FR.

3.1F1step 1.1step 1.2step 2.1step 1.3algebra∎

Apply step 1.3 to FL and FR, whose required smoothness was proved in steps 1.1–1.2. Since I is their integral sum by step 2.1 and I^ is their quadrature sum by [F1], the triangle inequality gives the stated error bound.
