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 complemented closed subspace of a normed space
Definition
Let be a normed space and let be a closed linear subspace. We say that is complemented when there is a closed linear subspace such that every admits a unique decomposition
and the coordinate maps
are bounded linear operators on .
Remarks
- The decomposition is written .
- The theorem below shows that this is equivalent to being the range of a bounded projection.
