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.

Van Hove sequence of bounded regions

Definition

Assume countable choice, fix an integer d≥1, and use the Euclidean norm ∥x∥2=⟨x,x⟩ from The Euclidean inner product ⟨x,y⟩=∑k<nxkyk on Rn and the d-dimensional Lebesgue measure λd from Lebesgue measurable sets, the family L(Rn), and the restricted set function λn. Countable choice ensures the stated Lebesgue set function is a measure and every Borel set is Lebesgue measurable (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω), Assuming countable choice, every Borel subset of Rn is Lebesgue measurable). For S⊆Rd, define dist⁡2(x,S)=inf⁡y∈S∥x−y∥2, with dist⁡2(x,∅)=+∞. The topological boundary of Ω⊆Rd is ∂Ω={x∈Rd:every ϵ>0 has Bϵ(x)∩Ω≠∅ and Bϵ(x)∖Ω≠∅},Bϵ(x)={y:∥y−x∥2<ϵ}. For a Lebesgue-measurable set A, write ∣A∣=λd(A). For a bounded set Ω and R>0, define its two-sided boundary layer ∂RΩ={x∈Rd:dist⁡2(x,∂Ω)≤R}, where dist⁡2 is the Euclidean distance just defined. A van Hove sequence is a sequence of bounded Lebesgue-measurable sets (Ωk)k∈N with 0<∣Ωk∣<∞, ∣Ωk∣→∞, and ∣∂RΩk∣∣Ωk∣⟶0for every fixed R>0. The boundary is closed, distance to a nonempty set is continuous, and for bounded Ω its R-neighborhood is bounded; hence each ∂RΩ is Borel and has finite Lebesgue measure (Lebesgue measure is sigma-finite, and every metrically bounded subset of Rn has finite outer measure). The condition controls both inner and outer boundary neighborhoods. It does not impose connectedness, a bounded aspect ratio, smooth boundaries, or a periodic identification.
