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.
Conditional finite-mixture envelope for an additive ordered representation
Statement
Assume the strict-reference representation conclusion of the draft supplier Additive extensive representation of compound comparison for its nonempty state set and stated comparison hypotheses. Let and be integers, and take a finite list of distinct states . Let and set for . Let be the unit-state compound defined in Tagged scalable compounds; it is a mass-one point mass by Compound mass is well-defined and additive. For , put and set . Suppose a map satisfies for every . For each , define the value to be if no has coordinate . Then the minimum represented value among those finite mixtures, with that empty-feasible-set convention, is exactly the finite-mixture envelope of Finite-mixture convex envelope and its supporting-face condition, with all its attainment, convexity, lower-semicontinuity, biconjugation, and supporting-face conclusions. This is the complete conditional transfer under the representation conclusion and affine coordinate assignment; the supplier definition and mass-one fact are provided locally.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite family of states and coordinate data as in the Statement.
Additive extensive representation of compound comparison: under its strict-reference hypotheses the normalized assigns each compound the finite additive value and represents all equal-mass comparisons. Its normalized reference values are and . The supplier remains draft; this use records no independent proof acceptance.
Conditional premise: assume the strict-reference representation conclusion [L1] for the chosen state set and its listed comparison hypotheses.
The coordinate assignment is affine on the finite mixtures of the fixed states, exactly as specified in the Statement.
Tagged scalable compounds defines when and otherwise, nonnegative pointwise scaling with , and finite pointwise composition. Compound mass is well-defined and additive proves , finite mass additivity and homogeneity for every nonnegative scalar, and exactly for the empty compound.
Finite-mixture convex envelope and its supporting-face condition: for finite data the minimized weighted value is the proper closed convex envelope with the stated dual and support properties.
Proof
By [A1] and [L1], each is finite. For any , [L2] gives . If , its term is the empty compound and contributes zero; equivalently omit such terms, leaving only positive coefficients and never applying a positive-scaling comparison axiom at zero. The representation assigns the value . By [A3], its coordinate is . Since the states are distinct, the coefficient of in is exactly , so this parametrization is injective. Hence mixtures in this fixed family with coordinate correspond exactly to from [L3].
The minimum of over those mixtures is therefore by [L3], with when is empty. Every further conclusion in the Statement follows by applying the corresponding conclusion of [L3] to the same finite data. The point-mass and zero-coefficient cases are supplied by [L2]; the transfer remains conditional on [A1] and [A3] and records no independent acceptance of the draft representation.
