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.
Momentum, angular, kinetic/internal and total balance algebra
Statement
Assume , meaning that every countable sequence of nonempty sets has a choice function. Let be a nonempty open interval containing , let be a nonempty bounded open set with boundary, and let be open with . Let have slices that are orientation-preserving bijections with inverses and . Put , , on , , , and . For each nonempty bounded domain with compact closure in , set . A bounded domain means a nonempty bounded open set locally on one side of a boundary graph; its unit normal points outward. All fields below are continuously differentiable on open neighborhoods of the swept closures for each such , and : let be scalar, vector-valued, scalar, and a matrix field. Define by , , for vector fields , and for fields ; define . Interpret as mass density, velocity, body acceleration, Cauchy stress, heat flux, specific internal energy, and specific energy supply rate. All cross products are the standard right-handed product in . In SI, are in metres, in seconds, in , in , in , in pascals, in , in , and in . The traction is on the outward boundary normal, and is outward heat flux; thus is heat entering . Surface integrals use the chart measure with area density .
Assume the continuity equation , and suppose the following integral balances hold for every such and every : Assume the Cauchy contact result supplies the pointwise traction , and that its unique matrix field has the stated regularity; the pointwise contact result alone does not imply this regularity. Then the linear momentum balance is equivalent to Together with the angular-momentum balance, it is equivalent to this momentum equation and . The kinetic-energy identity is The total-energy balance is equivalent to and, after subtracting the kinetic identity, to the internal-energy equation Conversely, adding the kinetic and internal-energy equations recovers the total-energy equation. These are conditional identities for smooth fields; no balance postulate is derived.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: Assume , the stated motion, positive density and fields, continuity equation, linear/angular momentum integral balances, total-energy integral balance, and the stated regularity of the stress field.
Smooth transport, Jacobian and advected reference density: a compact Jordan set is a compact set whose boundary is coverable by finitely many axis-parallel boxes of arbitrarily small total volume. For a orientation-preserving motion, every such in the reference domain, and every scalar on the swept open set, the supplier states . The motion convention uses for coordinate partial derivatives through total order , all continuous, and has positive Jacobian. Apply the transport identity componentwise to vector fields. Here the integral-balance domains are open ; step 1.1 proves the boundary-null and local-restriction facts needed to use the supplier with .
Linear traction from shrinking local contact balance: under orientation-local continuous traction and local resultant balance, a unique pointwise matrix satisfies ; this result alone does not provide regularity of .
Divergence on a bounded C1 Euclidean domain: under , dimension , a bounded domain and with continuous interior derivatives, .
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): is choice for a countable family of nonempty sets; this is the only choice strength assumed through [F2].
Bounded C1 domains and their outward normals: a bounded domain is locally one side of a boundary graph; its unit normal points outward.
Surface integration on compact C1 hypersurfaces: surface integrals use regular charts with area density .
The continuity equation is assumed as the pointwise identity in the Statement.
The linear- and angular-momentum integral balances are hypotheses, not conclusions from a physical postulate.
The total-energy integral balance is a separate hypothesis; no weak-energy equality follows from momentum balance alone.
Proof
Fix and . Its compact boundary is covered by finitely many relatively compact graph charts. On smaller compact chart pieces the graph functions have bounded derivative. Cover each two-dimensional base by squares of side ; the graph over each square has Euclidean diameter at most , hence lies in an axis-parallel cube of side . There are such squares, so the total cube volume is and tends to zero. Thus for every positive bound the boundary has a finite axis-parallel box cover of smaller total volume, so is compact Jordan in the sense of [L1]. The map is a diffeomorphism on a neighborhood of , so and . Its derivative is bounded on finitely many compact chart neighborhoods of , so it is Lipschitz there. The image of each graph-covering square has diameter at most a constant times , so it lies in an axis-parallel cube with volume ; summing over squares gives arbitrarily small finite cube covers of . Thus is also compact Jordan. In particular, the volume integral over equals the corresponding integral over for every continuous integrand because their difference is on the volume-null boundary. The fields are on neighborhoods of the swept closures. Pulling a common such neighborhood back by the continuous map gives an open set containing ; compactness supplies an interval around and an open reference neighborhood of on whose product the fields are defined. Restrict the motion to that neighborhood and interval, with reference body and reference domain , translate time so that is zero, and apply [L1] to and each component of . The transport formula gives at . Componentwise product differentiation and [A1] give . The linear-momentum balance [A2], traction representation [F1], and divergence theorem [F2] now give . Every sufficiently small open spatial ball with compact closure in is a material image : its inverse image under is a bounded domain compactly contained in . If a component of this continuous residual were positive or negative at an interior point, it would retain that strict sign on a small ball and have a nonzero integral, a contradiction. Hence pointwise.
For each component , expand the left side using the product rule: The last term vanishes by [A1], and the remaining term is . Substitution of step 1.1 gives the displayed conservative momentum equation. Conversely, if that equation holds, the same expansion and [A1] give . Integrate this identity over , use [F2] rowwise on , and use [L1] componentwise on ; the transport derivative turns its left side into , recovering the linear-momentum integral balance in [A2].
Apply [L1] componentwise to the angular-momentum density . Since and , , so step 1.1 makes its time derivative . By [A2] the same derivative is . The flux matrix for has entries ; applying [F2] rowwise changes the boundary integral to . Substituting from step 1.1 and cancelling the body-force terms gives zero integral of over every material subdomain. The same fixed-sign-ball argument as in step 1.1 makes this continuous residual zero pointwise. Componentwise differentiation gives . Thus for every . For these equations are respectively , , and , so .
Dot from step 1.1 with . The component product rule gives , and differentiation of gives . By the product rule and continuity equation [A1], . Substitution yields .
Apply [L1] to in [A3]. Rewrite the boundary power as , then use [F2] on and . The integral balance becomes the integral of the continuous residual over every ; the fixed-sign-ball argument from step 1.1 makes this residual zero pointwise. This is the conservative total-energy equation. Conversely, integrating that equation over and using [F2] and [L1] recovers [A3].
Conversely, suppose the conservative momentum equation holds and . Then , so the component calculation in step 2.2 gives . The product rule, continuity equation [A1], and give . Substituting the momentum equation and stress-divergence identity yields . Integrate this local angular identity over , use [F2] on the flux matrix , whose boundary flux is , and use [L1] on the material density . This recovers the angular-momentum integral balance in [A2]; the linear-momentum integral balance has already been recovered in step 2.1.
Subtract the kinetic equation in step 2.3 from the total-energy equation in step 2.4 and use . The body-work terms cancel, leaving . The product rule and continuity equation [A1] give , so rearrangement yields . Conversely, adding this internal-energy equation to the kinetic equation in step 2.3 recovers the total-energy equation in step 2.4.
