The convolution of a tempered distribution u with a Schwartz function φ, viewed
as a function x ↦ ⟨u, φ(· - x)⟩ on E.
Instances For
Pointwise unfolding of tempDistSchwartzConv: its value at x is u applied to the
translated Schwartz function y ↦ φ(y - x).
The convolution tempDistSchwartzConv u φ of a tempered distribution u with a
Schwartz function φ is smooth (C^∞).
The convolution tempDistSchwartzConv u φ of a tempered distribution u with a
Schwartz function φ has polynomial growth: there exist k : ℕ and C ≥ 0 such that
‖(u * φ)(x)‖ ≤ C (1 + ‖x‖)^k for all x.
Differentiating the convolution u * φ of a tempered distribution and a Schwartz
function with respect to the spatial variable: the directional derivative in direction h
equals minus the convolution of u with the directional derivative of φ.
If the support of y ↦ φ(y - x) is disjoint from the closure of the distributional
support of u, then (u * φ)(x) = 0.
Full statement of Melrose's Theorem 11.6 for the convolution of a tempered
distribution with a Schwartz function: the directional derivative in m can be moved
either onto u or onto φ, and if φ is compactly supported the support of u * φ is
contained in dsupport u + supp φ.
Iterated coordinate-direction partial derivatives transfer between the distribution
and the Schwartz factor of a tempered convolution: (∂_j^k u) * φ = u * (∂_j^k φ)
pointwise on Euclidean space.
