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.
Fejer completeness: a continuous one-periodic function with all integrals against the characters vanishing is zero
Statement
Let be one-periodic, meaning for all real , and continuous, meaning that both real functions satisfy Continuity of at a point of and on : the - condition, its agreement with at a limit point, and continuity at an isolated point and suppose that
All integrals here are componentwise Riemann integrals: for continuous , , with the real oriented convention of The integral with oriented limits: and ; both integrals exist by A continuous function on is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion. Here (The complex exponential by its power series). Then on .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The continuous one-periodic and the vanishing of all the displayed integrals.
The Fejer kernel is and equals ; it is nonnegative with (The Fejer kernel is a positive approximate identity, Cesaro and Abel means of a Fourier series).
The Fejer means converge to uniformly: (Cesaro and Abel means of a Fourier series, Fejer means converge uniformly for continuous periodic functions).
For continuous one-periodic complex , affine substitution applied to each real component gives . For the second equality, write with , ; translate by , split at , and translate by to , using periodicity and additivity (Substitution: if is differentiable on with integrable and is continuous on an interval containing , then , The integral with oriented limits: and , For : is integrable on if and only if it is integrable on and on , and then ; with the oriented form for arbitrary ).
Character periodicity: by , , and , hence by exponential addition. Iteration gives for ; for , gives the same conclusion. Thus . Exponential addition: (, and the complex exponential extends the real exponential, The complex exponential by its power series).
Continuous real components are Riemann integrable on compact intervals. The componentwise convention makes the integral complex-linear: expand complex multiplication into its two real components and apply real linearity and additivity (A continuous function on is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion, Integrable functions on form a set closed under sums and scalar multiples, and , For : is integrable on if and only if it is integrable on and on , and then ; with the oriented form for arbitrary ).
Proof
Fix . Since and is the finite sum of [F1], [F5] gives
For each , substitute (the integrand is one-periodic in ): by [F3] and [F4], the last equality by the hypothesis of the lemma.
Steps 1.1 and 1.2 give for every and every . By [F2], for every . This proves the lemma.
Remarks
- All functions here are continuous on the compact torus, so every integral displayed is an ordinary integral of a continuous periodic function, and the instances of the Fourier-mean machinery used are the choice-free ones noted in Cesaro and Abel means of a Fourier series; no selection principle is invoked in the argument as applied to continuous .
