How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2364426 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Riemann integral
The Riemann integral is a fundamental concept in calculus that defines the integral of a function as the limit of sums of function values over increasingly fine partitions of an interval.
-
B.
Riemann sums
Riemann sums are a fundamental method in calculus for approximating the area under a curve by summing the areas of a sequence of rectangles, forming the basis of the definition of the definite integral.
-
C.
Cauchy integral theorem
The Cauchy integral theorem is a fundamental result in complex analysis stating that the integral of a holomorphic function over any closed contour in a simply connected domain is zero.
-
D.
Itô’s lemma
Itô’s lemma is a fundamental result in stochastic calculus that generalizes the chain rule to functions of stochastic processes, especially Brownian motion.
-
E.
Riemann–Liouville integral
The Riemann–Liouville integral is a fundamental operator in fractional calculus that generalizes the concept of an n-fold repeated integral to non-integer (fractional) orders.
- F. None of above. chosen

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
