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.
Conditional periodic kinetic H theorem
Statement
Let be an open time interval in seconds and let , with fixed periods in metres. Give the completed, unnormalised pushforward of Lebesgue measure on under the quotient map, as in the kinetic-density definition. Let be in and in , with measured in metres per second and in the units assigned by the kinetic-density definition. Fix a constant with the same units as . Put , , and . Use the elastic collision set with its relative Borel sigma-algebra and the nonnegative countably additive measure invariant under particle exchange in either pair and incoming/outgoing interchange, together with the weak operator from the elastic-collision definition. Assume for each that , , and are integrable over . On each compact time interval assume a common integrable envelope in for ; at each assume is integrable over . In addition, assume where each velocity integral is over all of , without a velocity cutoff. Thus the entropy density, entropy flux, and differentiation terms are integrable on compact time-space regions. Define Assume that is measurable and locally integrable on , and that for each its spatial section belongs to . At every assume and , with the measurability and absolute-convergence conditions of the elastic-collision definition. With , assume for those two tests, and suppose . Define Then the local entropy balance holds in distributions: for every , Moreover, for almost every . The periodic global entropy is differentiable and The inequality is conditional on the adopted weak collision identity; it is not a derivation from reversible many-particle mechanics or a kinetic-PDE existence theorem.

Proof
By [F4], [F3], and the integrable entropy envelope, differentiation under the product integral gives Use [A1] to substitute .
The transport contribution is because by [F3]. For each velocity coordinate, the integral of the corresponding periodic spatial derivative is zero by [F5]; the displayed integrability and Fubini justify integrating first in . Thus only the collision contribution remains.
The test has , so [F1] gives at each . The term is therefore the whole collision contribution. For , the constant cancels from the four logarithms and The weak identity gives . Integrating in is justified by the Statement's absolute-integrability hypothesis and yields .
For , the product and chain rules give . The local integrability hypotheses and Fubini [F5] permit integration against and rearrangement of the integrals. At each , the identity for test gives , while the identity for gives because . Integrating the resulting equation by parts in and on the periodic torus yields the displayed local distributional balance.
Since and is increasing, pointwise, with equality exactly when . Its integral is nonnegative, so and therefore .
