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.

2 · Summary
The examples compute the logarithmic endpoint integral, an interior-pole principal value, and a weakly singular reference-triangle integral. The Gaussian example gives the sinh–sinh transformed identity and a rigorous finite-sum tail bound. Its transformed complex extension fails the uniform strip-decay hypothesis, so no total quadrature error bound is asserted for that example; this records the exact boundary of the analytic-strip theorem.

The Gaussian integral on the line with a certified sinh-sinh truncation tail
Statement
For on , use the sinh–sinh mode of Finite truncated tanh–sinh, exp–sinh, and sinh–sinh trapezoid rules. Its transformed function is Then the absolutely convergent improper Riemann integral satisfies . There is such that for , so if , the omitted finite-sum tail is at most However, the complex extension of this transformed Gaussian does not satisfy the uniform exponential-decay hypothesis of An analytic-strip error bound for the infinite trapezoid sum on any nonzero horizontal substrip. Thus this example certifies its truncation tail but does not claim a full discretization-plus-tail error bound.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The real sinh–sinh transformation and finite truncation with and nonnegative integers .
The double-exponential maps and their change-of-variable identities: if the transformed function is absolutely integrable as an improper Riemann integral, its integral equals the whole-line target integral.
A double-exponential envelope bounds the omitted trapezoid tails: an envelope bounds each continuous tail and the corresponding omitted trapezoid samples by .
A finite double-exponential trapezoid has separate strip and tail errors: a total finite-rule error estimate requires both the separate analytic-strip and sampled-tail hypotheses.
An analytic-strip error bound for the infinite trapezoid sum: its analytic-strip hypothesis requires uniform exponential decay on each horizontal edge of some nonzero closed substrip.
Complex sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine, and hyperbolic cosine from the complex exponential defines and . The addition formulas for complex trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, , , and , and , and the complex exponential extends the real exponential give and for real , by substituting the exponential definitions.
The exponential tends to at and to at : the real exponential tends to at and to zero at . The exponential addition formula and The exponential is positive and satisfies give and . The real definitions The six hyperbolic functions and their natural domains and Addition formulas, identities, parity, and derivatives of the hyperbolic functions give , , parity, positivity of , and unbounded growth of both hyperbolic functions at .
The exponential dominates every fixed nonnegative integer power at : as for every fixed .
Complex sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine, and hyperbolic cosine are entire with their standard derivatives gives entire with derivatives . Together with The complex exponential is entire and its complex derivative is itself, The chain rule for complex derivatives, and Linearity, product, reciprocal, and quotient rules for complex derivatives, this makes the displayed complex extension of entire.
The image of an interval under a continuous real function is order-convex, hence an interval, and the image of a closed bounded interval is a closed bounded interval and The mean value theorem, as the case of Cauchy's: for continuous on with and differentiable on there is with : a continuous function takes intermediate values, and a positive derivative makes it strictly increasing.
A continuous function on is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion: a continuous real function on a compact interval is Riemann integrable.
The zero sets of sine and cosine and the least positive common period 2 pi and Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi: , , and neither function has a zero in ; continuity and [F11] therefore give there.
Proof
On the real axis, . As , . We show the tail envelope for ; evenness gives the left tail. For , with , so for . For , , hence . Also and , , so for a fixed constant and all sufficiently large , . Put . By [F8], , and [F9] implies . Thus eventually exceeds both and . It follows that for all sufficiently large .
For any proposed substrip halfwidth , fix ; then [F13] gives . Extend holomorphically; this extension is entire by [F10]. For , write with and . The continuous function has positive derivative for and tends to infinity. For every sufficiently large integer , its value lies strictly between and some ; [F11] gives a solution , and strict increase makes it unique. Defining as that unique solution avoids any choice of a sequence. Then . At those points, [F7] gives and . Since , also by [F7] and from [F8]. Thus it follows that Thus no bound can hold on that horizontal line; this disproves the uniform strip hypothesis in [F6] for every proposed positive halfwidth.
The envelope in step 1.1 makes absolutely integrable on both tails. On every compact interval, is continuous and Riemann integrable by [F12], so is absolutely integrable on as an improper Riemann integral. Apply [F2] and then [F4] to obtain . Applying [F3] with gives the asserted omitted-sample bound when .
By [F5], the bound of the full-error theorem requires the strip premise as well as the tail premise. The real integral and truncation tail are justified in step 2.1, while step 1.2 disproves that strip premise. Thus no total quadrature error bound is asserted.

The second fundamental theorem: if is differentiable on with and is integrable, then evaluates the integral of this continuous derivative by its endpoint increment.
The chain rule, in one line from Carathéodory: if is differentiable at and is differentiable at , then is differentiable at with and Continuity and derivatives of positive-base real powers: the displayed amplitude is smooth in because is strictly positive.
For a nonempty subset of with , compactness, closedness and boundedness, pseudocompactness, and attainment of extrema by every continuous real-valued function are equivalent: continuous derivatives on the compact square are bounded.
Proof
For , the transformed integral in [F1] is . An antiderivative in is the logarithm in [F3], so the integral equals .
The function is smooth on the compact square by [F4], and its derivatives are bounded there by [F5]. The Duffy weighted product rule therefore has the error bound [F2]; since is independent of , its positive-order derivative vanishes.

Proof
A primitive on is by [F1] and [F6]. The endpoint term tends to zero by the power-regularity lemma [F2] with , , and polynomial . Hence as . Applying [F5] on and taking gives the improper integral .
For the left substitution, ; its transformed function is a constant times times a polynomial of degree one in and a smooth factor bounded with two continuous derivatives. For the right substitution, and the remaining factors are smooth on . Therefore both transformed functions are by [F2], and [F3] applies.
Apply [F4] with to the functions in step 1.2. Its error constant is and the output is the stated sum, so the claimed error bound follows. The value from step 1.1 is the integral being approximated.
