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.
Integration by parts for absolutely continuous functions
Statement
Assume the Axioms of Countable Choice and Dependent Choice. For ,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable choice, dependent choice, and absolutely continuous functions on .
Proof
The product lemma makes AC. At the common full-measure set where and exist, the ordinary product rule gives . The sharp FTC makes integrable, and continuity on the compact interval bounds , so both products are integrable.
Apply Fundamental theorem of calculus for absolutely continuous functions to and integrate the displayed derivative.
Rearranging gives the stated identity, with identical zero sides on .
