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.

Proof
Given: [A1], , , , and [F1]–[F7].
Proof technique: direct.
By [F3], diagonalize in an orthonormal basis with eigenvalues . The linear substitution has Jacobian ; [F4] in each coordinate gives . The same eigenvalue bounds give and , proving the two Gaussian envelopes for each component and hence for every finite mixture.
Let be the orthogonal pair map from [F2], and let project onto the first component. For component densities and , the joint centered covariance is . Using [F6] under , the density of the pair after reflection is the centered Gaussian with covariance and mean . Write in blocks as . Its first marginal is Gaussian with covariance : indeed is positive definite, the Schur complement is positive definite, and block elimination gives and Integrating in using [F3], [F4], and [F7] gives the normalized marginal . Also satisfies : for every , lies between and .
Differentiating a component in multiplies it by a polynomial in ; each coefficient is uniformly bounded because . The exponent has the upper bound from step 1.1, so every derivative of a finite mixture has the stated polynomial-Gaussian envelope, uniformly over all finite mixtures in this class.
Therefore is the pointwise angular average with . The map is continuous, and is continuous in : pointwise convergence follows from the formula, while the weighted upper Gaussian envelope from step 1.1 is an integrable dominator and [F5] gives weighted- convergence. For each , continuity supplies a relative-open neighborhood on which the -distance from is less than ; compactness of gives a finite subcover. Successively subtracting earlier open sets makes this a finite Borel partition , and choosing one in each nonempty piece gives variation at most on that piece. Tonelli [F7] and the triangle inequality bound the weighted- distance from the angular average to by . Since is arbitrary, the angular average belongs to . Bilinear expansion proves the same for finite convex mixtures in both inputs.
For general , choose finite-mixture sequences and in . The bound [F2] gives Each is in by step 2.2, so closedness proves .
Let be finite mixtures converging in to . By step 2.1, every derivative sequence is uniformly bounded and equicontinuous on every closed ball, since the next derivatives have a common bound there. On the countable dense rational grid in each ball, bounded real sequences admit convergent subsequences: repeatedly bisect a bounded interval, retain a half containing infinitely many terms, and use the nested intervals of lengths tending to zero to select a convergent subsequence. A countable diagonal selection over grid points, integer-radius balls, and multi-indices makes every derivative converge on every grid. Equicontinuity and a finite rational -net of each ball then make these subsequences uniformly Cauchy there, hence locally uniformly convergent. The fundamental theorem of calculus along coordinate segments identifies the limits as derivatives of a smooth function . Weighted- convergence identifies almost everywhere on every ball, so represents . The pointwise envelopes and derivative bounds pass to the local uniform limit. This proves part 1 for every class element.
