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 graph of a continuous function on a closed nondegenerate rectangle in Rm\mathbb{R}^m has content zero in Rm+1\mathbb{R}^{m+1}

Statement

Let m1m\ge1, let QRmQ\subseteq\mathbb R^m be a closed nondegenerate rectangle, and let f:QRf:Q\to\mathbb R be continuous. Its graph has content zero in Rm+1\mathbb R^{m+1}.

Proof

technique · constructive
1.1

Given ε>0\varepsilon>0, choose a uniform coordinate grid with cell widths at most δ\delta, where uniform continuity makes the oscillation of ff on each cell below a vertical amount η\eta. Since QQ is nondegenerate, the grid may be chosen so that the number NδN_\delta of cells satisfies NδδmCQN_\delta\delta^m\le C_Q for a constant depending only on QQ.

2.1

One horizontal cube footprint of side δ\delta covers each domain cell. Above it, stack (m+1)(m+1)-cubes of side δ\delta across the graph's vertical range. Integer part: for every real xx there is exactly one integer mm with mx<m+1m \le x < m + 1 bounds their number by η/δ+2\eta/\delta+2, so all stacks together have volume at most Nδ(ηδm+2δm+1)CQ(η+2δ)N_\delta(\eta\delta^m+2\delta^{m+1})\le C_Q(\eta+2\delta).

3.1

Summing over the finitely many domain cells gives total covering volume at most a rectangle-dependent constant times η+δ\eta+\delta. Choose η\eta and then δ\delta to make this below ε\varepsilon.

This finite cube cover proves content zero in the sense of Measure zero and content zero in Rm\mathbb{R}^m by countable and finite cube covers.
