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.
The generator is closed and densely defined
Statement
Assume Dependent Choice (The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain). Let be a strongly continuous semigroup on a Banach space with generator (Infinitesimal generator of a C0-semigroup). Then is a closed linear operator and is dense in (Densely defined, closed and closable operators, and cores).
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Dependent Choice; A strongly continuous semigroup on a Banach space with generator (Strongly continuous semigroup, Infinitesimal generator of a C0-semigroup).
Time integrals of orbits lie in the generator domain: for every and the Bochner integral satisfies and (Time integrals of semigroup orbits lie in the generator domain, Bochner-integrable function).
Average convergence (Average convergence for a continuous Banach-valued function): a continuous curve on a compact interval is Bochner integrable, and as for every ; hence for every .
The semigroup is locally bounded and all orbits are continuous, and as for every (A semigroup with continuity at zero is uniformly bounded on every compact time interval, Continuity at time zero implies continuity of every orbit); the norm inequality for Bochner integrals bounds . For the orbit is differentiable with derivative (The generator commutes with the semigroup on its domain), so the fundamental theorem of calculus for Banach-valued continuous curves gives (Fundamental theorem of calculus for Banach-valued continuous curves).
Closedness and density of a linear operator are the graph and domain conditions of Densely defined, closed and closable operators, and cores with the operator vocabulary of Unbounded linear operators: domain, graph and extension.
Proof
Density: for and , [F1] gives , and by [F2] as ; hence lies in the closure of . Since was arbitrary, is dense in .
Closedness: suppose with and in . For fixed and every , the orbit of is differentiable with derivative , so [F3] gives .
As , the left-hand side tends to , because is bounded and the orbit of is continuous; the right-hand side tends to , because by the local bound [F3]. Hence for every .
Dividing by and using the average-convergence limit of [F2] for the continuous curve gives as . By the definition of the generator, and ; hence the graph of contains the limits of all convergent graph sequences, and under DC (hence Countable Choice) the closure-sequence criterion in Infinitesimal generator of a C0-semigroup makes the graph closed.
Together with [step 1.1], the generator of a strongly continuous semigroup is a closed and densely defined linear operator, in the sense of [F4].
