A constant-coefficient differential operator preserves compact support: if the tempered distribution F vanishes outside a compact K, then so does P(D) F.

The Dirac delta distribution δ_0 has compact support, namely {0}.

Subtraction of two compactly supported distributions has compact support.

Adding a globally smooth distribution does not enlarge the singular support: if v is smooth everywhere, then singularSupport u ⊆ singularSupport (u - v).

Subtracting a globally smooth distribution does not enlarge the singular support, giving the reverse inclusion singularSupport (u - v) ⊆ singularSupport u.

Parametrix singular-support bound via distributional convolution: writing P(D) F = δ + ψ where ψ = P(D) F - δ has compact support, the singular support of u - ψ * u is contained in singularSupport F + singularSupport (P(D) u). This is the convolution form of the parametrix identity used in pseudolocal elliptic regularity.

Pseudolocal elliptic regularity via the parametrix: for any tempered distribution u, singularSupport u ⊆ singularSupport F + singularSupport (P(D) u), where F is a parametrix for P. In particular, when Pu is smooth, u is smooth wherever F is smooth — the heart of the parametrix method.
