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.
Continuous -valued curves on a nonempty compact interval form a complete supremum-metric space
Statement
Let be a nonempty compact interval and . Continuous -valued curves on are complete in the supremum metric
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A -Cauchy sequence in .
For a nonempty compact metric space , is complete in the supremum metric ( is complete in the supremum metric for every nonempty compact metric space ).
Any two norms on , , are equivalent (For all norms on are equivalent).
Proof
Each coordinate sequence is supremum-Cauchy, so [L1] gives a continuous coordinate limit; assembling the finitely many coordinate limits defines a continuous curve .
The maximum-coordinate errors tend uniformly to zero, and [L2] bounds the Euclidean norm by a constant multiple of the maximum norm; hence , including when is a one-point interval.
Depends on
is complete in the supremum metric for every nonempty compact metric space
For a sequence in converges iff each coordinate sequence converges, is Cauchy iff each coordinate sequence is Cauchy, and is complete in every norm
A vector-valued function has a limit, or is continuous, if and only if each of its components does; with the algebra of continuous vector-valued functions
