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.
Every Jordan exhaustion computes a nonnegative improper multiple integral
Statement
Every compact Jordan exhaustion computes the nonnegative improper integral, independently of the exhaustion.
Precisely, if is locally Riemann integrable and is a compact Jordan exhaustion, then
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An open , a locally Riemann-integrable , and a compact Jordan exhaustion .
For nonnegative , its improper integral is the extended-real supremum of its compact Jordan integrals (Improper multiple integrals and absolute convergence on open sets).
On a nondegenerate rectangle, proper multidimensional Riemann integrals are monotone: implies (Linearity, monotonicity, the absolute-value estimate and coordinate-slice additivity for the Riemann integral in ).
The integral over a bounded Jordan set is the integral over a bounding rectangle of the function extended by zero outside that set (The Riemann integral of a bounded function over a bounded Jordan measurable set).
Compact cofinality is part of every compact Jordan exhaustion: every compact subset of the open domain lies in some member (Compact Jordan exhaustions of open subsets of ).
Proof
Since , extend both restricted functions by zero to one common bounding rectangle. Their zero extensions are ordered pointwise, so [L2] and [L3] make the numbers increasing, and every one is bounded above by the defining supremum of [L1].
Every compact Jordan set lies in some by [L4]. Extending the two restrictions by zero to one bounding rectangle and applying [L2] and [L3] gives .
Taking the supremum over all compact Jordan in step 1.2 gives , while step 1.1 gives the reverse inequality; equality follows, including when the value is .
