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 products of Banach spaces are Banach

Statement

Let n1, and let E0,,En1 be Banach spaces. Then their finite product k<nEk is a Banach space for each of the standard product norms max, 2, and 1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A natural number n1, Banach spaces E0,,En1, and a Cauchy sequence x(m)=(x0(m),,xn1(m)) in the product for the maximum norm.

[L1]

A Banach space is complete for its norm metric (Banach space).

[L2]

The maximum, Euclidean, and sum product norms are defined on the finite product (The standard product norms on a finite product of normed spaces).

[L3]

These three product norms satisfy xmaxx2x1nxmax (The standard finite product norms are equivalent).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

If x(m) is Cauchy for max, then each coordinate sequence (xk(m))m is Cauchy in Ek, because xk(m)xk()x(m)x()max for every k<n.

L2given
2.1

Since each Ek is Banach, [L1] gives a point xkEk with xk(m)xk. Put x:=(x0,,xn1).

step 1.1L1construct
3.1

Given ε>0, choose M0 so that x(m)x()max<ε/2 for m,M0, and for each k<n choose Mk so that xk(m)xk<ε/2 for mMk. For M:=max{M0,M1,,Mn1} and mM, taking in a fixed coordinate gives xk(m)xkε/2 for every k<n, hence x(m)xmaxε/2<ε.

step 2.1givenchoose
4.1

Thus the product is complete for the maximum norm, hence Banach for that norm by [L1].

step 3.1L1
5.1

The inequalities in [L3] show that a sequence is Cauchy or convergent for one standard product norm exactly when it is so for the others. Therefore completeness for max is equivalent to completeness for 2 and for 1, so the product is Banach for all three norms.

Dependency tree · two levels

9 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.
