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 N-indexed chain). Let (T(t))t≥0 be a strongly continuous semigroup on a Banach space X with generator (A,D(A)) (Infinitesimal generator of a C0-semigroup). Then A is a closed linear operator and D(A) is dense in X (Densely defined, closed and closable operators, and cores).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Dependent Choice; A strongly continuous semigroup (T(t))t≥0 on a Banach space X with generator (A,D(A)) (Strongly continuous semigroup, Infinitesimal generator of a C0-semigroup).

[F1]

Time integrals of orbits lie in the generator domain: for every x∈X and t>0 the Bochner integral Jtx=∫0tT(s)x ds satisfies Jtx∈D(A) and AJtx=T(t)x−x (Time integrals of semigroup orbits lie in the generator domain, Bochner-integrable function).

[F2]

Average convergence (Average convergence for a continuous Banach-valued function): a continuous curve on a compact interval is Bochner integrable, and 1h∫0hT(s)y ds→y as h↓0 for every y∈X; hence 1tJtx→x for every x.

[F3]

The semigroup is locally bounded and all orbits are continuous, and T(h)z→z as h↓0 for every z (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 ∥∫0hT(s)z ds∥≤hsup⁡0≤s≤h∥T(s)∥ ∥z∥. For x∈D(A) the orbit is differentiable with derivative T(s)Ax (The generator commutes with the semigroup on its domain), so the fundamental theorem of calculus for Banach-valued continuous curves gives ∫0hT(s)Ax ds=T(h)x−x (Fundamental theorem of calculus for Banach-valued continuous curves).

[F4]

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

technique · direct: density from the orbit averages, closedness by passing a convergent sequence through the integral identity
1.1F1F2

Density: for x∈X and t>0, [F1] gives Jtx∈D(A), and by [F2] 1tJtx→x as t↓0; hence x lies in the closure of D(A). Since x was arbitrary, D(A) is dense in X.

1.2F3

Closedness: suppose xn∈D(A) with xn→x and Axn→y in X. For fixed h>0 and every n, the orbit of xn is differentiable with derivative T(s)Axn, so [F3] gives T(h)xn−xn=∫0hT(s)Axn ds.

2.1F3step 1.2

As n→∞, the left-hand side tends to T(h)x−x, because T(h) is bounded and the orbit of x is continuous; the right-hand side tends to ∫0hT(s)y ds, because ∥∫0hT(s)(Axn−y) ds∥≤hsup⁡0≤s≤h∥T(s)∥ ∥Axn−y∥→0 by the local bound [F3]. Hence T(h)x−x=∫0hT(s)y ds for every h>0.

3.1F2step 2.1

Dividing by h and using the average-convergence limit of [F2] for the continuous curve s↦T(s)y gives T(h)x−xh=1h∫0hT(s)y ds→y as h↓0. By the definition of the generator, x∈D(A) and Ax=y; hence the graph of A 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.

4.1F4step 1.1step 3.1∎

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].
