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.

C1 material regions have compatible Jordan volume integrals

Statement

Let V⊂R3 be a bounded open set whose boundary is locally, after a rigid coordinate change, the graph of a C1 function, with V lying locally on one side of that graph. Let U⊂R3 be open with V‾⊂U. Let ϕ:U→ϕ(U) be a bijection onto an open image with ϕ and ϕ−1 both C1, and let f:ϕ(U)→R be continuous. A bounded set is Jordan measurable when its indicator is Riemann integrable by the zero-extension convention; a set has content zero when it has finite cube covers of arbitrarily small total volume. Then V and ϕ(V) are bounded open sets with locally C1 graph boundaries, their compact closures are Jordan measurable, ∂V and ϕ(∂V) have content zero, and

∫ϕ(V)f(x) dx=∫ϕ(V‾)f(x) dx.

Thus a balance integral over an open C1 material region agrees with the compact-Jordan integral on its closure after a C1 diffeomorphic motion.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The open set V, its local C1 graph-boundary property, the open neighborhood U, the map ϕ, and the continuous function f from the statement.

[F1]

The graph of a continuous function on a closed nondegenerate rectangle in Rm has content zero in Rm+1: the graph of a continuous function on a closed nondegenerate rectangle in R2 has content zero in R3.

[F2]

Measure zero and content zero in Rm by countable and finite cube covers: content zero means finite cube covers of arbitrarily small total volume; it passes to subsets and finite unions, and padding such covers with degenerate cubes makes the set null.

[F3]

A bounded set in Rm is Jordan measurable iff its boundary is null, equivalently of content zero: a bounded subset of Euclidean space is Jordan measurable if and only if its boundary has content zero.

[F6]
[F7]

A bounded set is Jordan measurable iff its indicator is Riemann integrable, and the integral is its Jordan content: the indicator of a Jordan measurable set is Riemann integrable and its integral equals its Jordan content.

[F8]

Linearity, monotonicity, the absolute-value estimate and coordinate-slice additivity for the Riemann integral in Rm: the Riemann integral is linear, monotone, and bounded in absolute value by the integral of the absolute value.

[F9]

The Riemann integral of a bounded function over a bounded Jordan measurable set: a bounded function is integrated over a bounded Jordan set by extending it by zero to a containing rectangle.

[F10]

The Euclidean inverse function theorem: a C1 map with invertible derivative at a point has a C1 local inverse near that point.

[F11]

The chain rule for total derivatives: D(g∘f)(a)=Dg(f(a))∘Df(a): derivatives of composable totally differentiable Euclidean maps multiply in order.

Proof

Given: [F1]–[F11], the stated local graph condition, and the C1 diffeomorphism ϕ.

1.1F1F4algebra

Put S=∂V. It is closed and bounded, hence compact by [F4]. At each p∈S, the local graph condition gives rigid coordinates and an open planar set on which S is the graph of a C1 function. Choose a small closed nondegenerate rectangle inside that planar set so its graph lies within the boundary chart and covers a neighborhood of p in S. Compactness gives finitely many such graph patches covering S. Each patch has content zero by [F1]. A rigid image of a cube of side ℓ lies in an axis-parallel cube of side 3ℓ, so rigid coordinate changes enlarge the total covering volume by at most 33. Thus each patch has content zero in the original coordinates.

1.2F10F11given

Parameterize a local graph patch at p∈S by γ(y)=(y,h(y)) on an open subset of R2; its derivative has rank two because its first two coordinates are y. Differentiate ϕ−1∘ϕ=id and use [F11] to see that Dϕ is invertible. Thus D(ϕ∘γ) has rank two. Choose rigid target coordinates so the first two coordinates of this derivative are invertible. The inverse function theorem [F10] gives a local C1 inverse for those two coordinates, so the third coordinate expresses ϕ(S) locally as a C1 graph. The homeomorphism ϕ maps the local one-sided region V to one side of that image graph. Hence ϕ(V) has locally C1 graph boundary.

2.1step 1.1F2

By [F2], the finite union of the source graph patches in step 1.1 shows that S has content zero.

2.2F1F2F3F4F5step 1.1step 1.2

The compact image ϕ(S) has a finite cover by the local graph patches from step 1.2. By [F1] each patch has content zero in its rigid coordinates, and the cube-cover comparison in step 1.1 transfers that property to the original coordinates. Therefore ϕ(S) has content zero. It is closed and bounded by compactness and [F4], so its boundary is a subset of that content-zero set and [F3] makes ϕ(S) Jordan measurable.

3.1F2F3F4F5step 2.1step 2.2

The Jordan boundary criterion [F3] makes the bounded open set V Jordan measurable by step 2.1. The closure V‾ is closed and bounded, and ∂V‾⊆S, so [F2]–[F4] make it compact Jordan. The compact image ϕ(V‾) is bounded by [F5], and its boundary is contained in ϕ(S); [F2] and [F3] make it Jordan measurable. The open image ϕ(V) is bounded as a subset of ϕ(V‾), and its boundary is ϕ(S); [F3] makes it Jordan measurable.

4.1F5F6F7F8F9step 2.2∎

The function f is bounded by some M≥0 on the compact set ϕ(V‾) by [F5]. In a common containing rectangle, its zero extensions from ϕ(V) and ϕ(V‾) differ only on ϕ(S), which has content zero by step 2.2. Their bounded difference g has discontinuities only on that content-zero set, so [F6] makes it integrable. Moreover ∣g∣≤M1ϕ(S). By [F7], ∫1ϕ(S)=cont⁡(ϕ(S))=0; monotonicity and the absolute-value estimate [F8] imply ∣∫g∣≤∫∣g∣≤M∫1ϕ(S)=0. The zero-extension definition [F9] therefore gives equal integrals: ∫ϕ(V)f(x) dx=∫ϕ(V‾)f(x) dx.
