Uniform approximation by normalized bumps #
Convolution with normalized smooth bumps whose radii tend to zero converges uniformly to
any uniformly continuous Banach-valued function. For uniformly continuous functions, this
upgrades the pointwise convergence of Mathlib's
ContDiffBump.convolution_tendsto_right_of_continuous to uniform convergence, and allows
simultaneous approximation of the derivatives of a compactly supported smooth function.
Normalized-bump convolution also preserves a uniform bound on a function
(ContDiffBump.norm_normed_convolution_le) and its Lipschitz constant, since it averages the
differences of translates (ContDiffBump.dist_normed_convolution_le_of_dist_sub_le).
Along an arbitrary filter of bump indices, convolution with normalized bumps also converges uniformly on a neighbourhood filter of a point of continuity of the function.
The file also bounds the topological support of ρ.normed μ ⋆ g by the Minkowski sum
closedBall 0 ρ.rOut + tsupport g, and provides the standard shrinking sequence of bumps
ContDiffBump.shrinking, of radii R / (n + 1) and R / (2 * (n + 1)). These bumps are all
rescalings of the first one (ContDiffBump.shrinking_apply_eq), so integrals against their
normalized forms reduce to one kernel (ContDiffBump.integral_shrinking_normed_mul).
The bumps of outer radius R / (n + 1) and inner radius half of that. Their radii shrink to
zero while the outer radius stays twice the inner one, as Lebesgue differentiation along
normalized bump convolutions requires.
Instances For
The radii of ContDiffBump.shrinking tend to zero.
On a relatively compact open subdomain, a shrinking sequence of normalized bump kernels has every translated support inside the ambient open domain.
ContDiffBump.shrinking hR n is ContDiffBump.shrinking hR 0 rescaled by the factor n + 1,
so all the bumps of the sequence are rescalings of one kernel.
The support of a normalized-bump convolution lies in the closed radius-neighborhood of the support of the other factor, expressed as a Minkowski sum.
Integrating against the normalized bump ContDiffBump.shrinking hR n is integrating against
the normalized bump ContDiffBump.shrinking hR 0 after rescaling the variable by (n + 1)⁻¹.
Normalized bumps of shrinking radius approximate a uniformly continuous function uniformly on the whole space.
Normalized bumps of radius tending to zero along a filter approximate a function that is
continuous at x uniformly on a neighbourhood filter of x. This upgrades Mathlib's joint
convergence ContDiffBump.convolution_tendsto_right to the form needed for limit theorems of
derivatives such as hasFDerivAt_of_tendstoUniformlyOnFilter.
Mollifying a locally integrable function with values in [a, b] by a normalized bump keeps
its values in [a, b].
Mollifying a function that is continuous on a ball by bumps with radii tending to 0
converges uniformly on the half-radius ball, along any filter of parameters.
Every available Fréchet derivative of compactly supported finite-regularity data commutes with normalized-bump convolution.
Convolution with a nonnegative normalized bump averages the differences of translates: if
dist (g (x - t)) (g (y - t)) ≤ B for every t, then the convolutions at x and y are within
B of each other.
Convolution with a nonnegative normalized bump preserves a uniform bound on the norm.
Convolution with a nonnegative normalized bump preserves the Lipschitz constant, including for Banach-valued functions.
