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.
Differentiation of a variable-limit convolution integral with a C-one matrix kernel
Statement
Let , equip with the Euclidean inner product and norm of The Euclidean inner product on , and let be an interval with nonempty interior (Intervals of : the nine order-convex forms, nondegeneracy, and length), let , let be an open interval with , let have entries (The vector space of by matrices over a field, with entrywise operations, Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms) and let be continuous (Vector-valued functions , their limits and continuity, with the dictionary to the metric notions). For and , define . This is a linear map by the coordinate formula; the Euclidean norm is a norm by Cauchy-Schwarz with its equality case, the triangle inequality for , the parallelogram law and polarisation, and the standard coordinate vectors form an ordered basis by The standard list with and for is an ordered basis of ; hence , and is the zero space with basis and dimension , so the map is bounded by A linear map from a finite-dimensional normed space is bounded. Let denote its induced operator norm (The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum). All matrix actions in the integrals use this convention. Since , the value is defined. Define
with the oriented integral of The derivative and the Riemann integral of a vector-valued function: an intrinsic derivative and a componentwise integral and the matrix action just defined; the integrand is continuous in , hence integrable on every compact subinterval. Then:
- is differentiable at every interior point of (The derivative of at a point that is a limit point of , and differentiability on a set) and
- If moreover is bounded on compact subintervals of (which holds automatically because is ), then is of class on the interior of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A natural number , an interval with nonempty interior, a point , an open interval , a matrix curve and a continuous curve .
The vector-valued derivative and the oriented Riemann integral are componentwise: and , with ; the integral is additive over subintervals and linear in the integrand (The derivative and the Riemann integral of a vector-valued function: an intrinsic derivative and a componentwise integral, For : is integrable on if and only if it is integrable on and on , and then ; with the oriented form for arbitrary ).
For and an integrable one has , and for real integrable one has (For and integrable when , ; for , is integrable, If on and both are integrable then ; and ). Consequently, for a continuous on the interval with endpoints and , , the supremum over that interval.
Leibniz's rule on a compact rectangle: if are continuous and for every fixed the slice is differentiable on with derivative , then is differentiable on with derivative (Leibniz's rule on a compact rectangle: an interior parameter derivative with a continuous extension may be passed through a Riemann integral). The component maps below satisfy these hypotheses: sums and products of functions are by the chain rule and the algebra of derivatives (The chain rule, in one line from Carathéodory: if is differentiable at and is differentiable at , then is differentiable at with , Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: , , , and when ).
A closed rectangle in is compact (Heine-Borel in : with the Euclidean metric a subset of is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded, and the proof by bisection uses no choice principle; the same holds on the real line), a continuous map on a compact metric space is uniformly continuous (Heine-Cantor: a continuous map from a compact metric space to any metric space is uniformly continuous), and a continuous real function on a compact interval is bounded and Riemann integrable (A continuous function on is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion, A continuous real-valued function on a nonempty compact metric space is bounded and attains a greatest and a least value).
Differentiability at means that the difference quotients converge to as through nonzero values (The derivative of at a point that is a limit point of , and differentiability on a set).
The matrix action is linear by its coordinate formula (The vector space of by matrices over a field, with entrywise operations, Linear map between vector spaces over the same field). The Euclidean inner product and norm are those of The Euclidean inner product on , this norm makes a normed space by Cauchy-Schwarz with its equality case, the triangle inequality for , the parallelogram law and polarisation, and the standard coordinate vectors form an ordered basis by The standard list with and for is an ordered basis of ; hence , and is the zero space with basis and dimension . Hence each such matrix action is a bounded linear operator by A linear map from a finite-dimensional normed space is bounded, and its induced operator norm is (The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum).
Proof
Fix and choose with and . For , additivity and linearity of the integral [F1] give with the second integral oriented and taken over the interval with endpoints and ; both integrands are continuous on their compact intervals, since every difference of two points of lies in .
For a component index , put for , where is the compact interval with endpoints and . This is continuous, and for fixed it is differentiable in with , which is continuous on the rectangle; [F3] therefore gives for directly, and for after reversing the orientation and applying [F3] on ; [F1] identifies the components.
For the second term put on the interval with endpoints and . Since is the value of the constant function there, [F1] gives and [F2] bounds its norm by over the interval with endpoints and . As the arguments lie between and (in either order) and tend to , and , so continuity of at and of at makes this supremum tend to ; hence the second term tends to .
Dividing the identity of step 1.1 by , the two summands are precisely the terms analysed in steps 2.1 and 2.2; their limits exist and sum to . By [F5] this is exactly the differentiability assertion of clause 1 at , and was arbitrary.
For clause 2 write by step 3.1, with . The term is continuous. Fix , let be the closed interval with endpoints , and put . Since is an open interval containing the compact interval , choose small enough that and . Put . For , additivity [F1] gives In the first integral, lies between and , so ; in the second, and . By [F2], the first integral has norm at most , which tends to . The second has norm at most , which tends to by uniform continuity of the matrix-valued on . Hence is continuous at , so is continuous on , proving clause 2.
