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.
