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.
On a regular bounded plane domain, Perron's method solves the Dirichlet problem
Statement
Let be a bounded complex domain such that every boundary point is regular. For every continuous boundary datum , the regularized Perron envelope is harmonic on , extends continuously to , agrees with on , and is the unique function with those properties.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A bounded complex domain whose every boundary point is regular, and a continuous boundary datum .
The regularized Perron envelope is harmonic on (The regularized Perron envelope is harmonic).
Regularity at a boundary point means that the Perron envelope tends to the prescribed boundary datum there; barriers characterize regular points (A boundary point is regular exactly when it admits a barrier).
A bounded-domain harmonic extension of fixed continuous boundary data is unique (The bounded plane Dirichlet problem has at most one continuous harmonic solution).
Proof
By [L1], is harmonic on . By the hypothesis that every boundary point is regular and the definition packaged in [L2], for every one has [L1, L2, given]
Step 1.1 gives the boundary limits pointwise on , and the continuity of turns those limits into a continuous extension of to by setting the boundary values equal to .
If is any other continuous harmonic function on with on , then [L3] applied to and the extension from step 2.1 gives on . Thus Perron's method solves the Dirichlet problem uniquely on regular bounded plane domains.
