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.
A linear map from a finite-dimensional normed space is bounded
Statement
Let and be normed spaces over the same scalar field, and assume admits an ordered basis of finite length. Then every linear map is a bounded linear operator in the sense of A bounded linear operator between normed spaces.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Normed spaces and , a linear map , and an ordered basis .
The basis map is a topological isomorphism (A chosen algebraic basis identifies a finite-dimensional normed space with a coordinate space).
A bounded linear operator is a linear map satisfying one global norm bound (A bounded linear operator between normed spaces).
Linearity means (Linear map between vector spaces over the same field).
Proof
Let be the basis map from [L1]. Since is bounded, there is such that
Put , a finite real. If , then by [L3] so
Combining steps 1.1 and 1.2 gives Therefore is bounded, and with [L3] this makes a bounded linear operator by [L2].
