Splicing two maps with a cutoff along a linear functional #
Let k l : X → Y be maps between real normed spaces, π : X →L[ℝ] ℝ a continuous linear
functional and δ > 0 a scale. The splice TauCeti.spliceAlong π k l δ is the convex combination
x ↦ k x + χ (δ⁻¹ π x) • (l x - k x), where χ = TauCeti.spliceCutoff is a fixed smooth cutoff
which is 1 on [-1, 1], vanishes off (-2, 2) and takes values in [0, 1]. It is l where
|π x| ≤ δ and k where 2 δ ≤ |π x|, it stays in every convex set containing the values of k
and l, and it is as smooth as k and l.
The derivative of the splice is controlled uniformly in the scale. Suppose ‖π‖ ≤ 1. If the
derivatives of k and l at x are within ε of a linear map A, and
‖l x - k x‖ ≤ 2 ε |π x|, then the splice has derivative within (3 + 4 B) ε of A at x, where
B bounds the derivative of the cutoff (TauCeti.exists_hasFDerivAt_spliceAlong_sub_le). The
hypothesis on l x - k x holds by the mean value inequality when the two maps agree at a point y
with ‖x - y‖ = |π x| (Convex.norm_sub_le_of_norm_hasFDerivWithin_sub_le in
TauCeti.Analysis.Calculus.MeanValue); the derivative δ⁻¹ χ' (δ⁻¹ π x) • π of the cutoff has
norm at most δ⁻¹ B ‖π‖ ≤ δ⁻¹ B, but only meets l x - k x where |π x| ≤ 2 δ.
This is the device used to straighten an embedding near a point or a line: there the two maps are the embedding and a model agreeing with it to first order, read in a chart.

The cutoff #
A fixed smooth cutoff on the line: it is 1 on [-1, 1], vanishes off (-2, 2), and takes
values in [0, 1].
Instances For
The cutoff is 1 on [-1, 1].
The cutoff vanishes off (-2, 2).
The cutoff is smooth.
The derivative of the cutoff vanishes off [-2, 2].
The derivative of the cutoff is bounded, since it is continuous with compact support.
The splice #
The map k with its values near the kernel of π replaced by those of l: the convex
combination of k x and l x with weight the cutoff spliceCutoff at scale δ along π. It is
l where |π x| ≤ δ and k where 2 δ ≤ |π x|.
Instances For
The value of the spliced map at a point.
Where 2 δ ≤ |π x|, the spliced map is k.
Where |π x| ≤ δ, the spliced map is l.
Where k and l agree, the spliced map is their common value.
The spliced map is a convex combination of the two maps, so it stays in any convex set containing both values.
The spliced map is as smooth as the two maps.
The derivative of the spliced map, by the product rule.
The derivative of a spliced map. If the derivatives of k and l at x are within ε of
a linear map A, ‖l x - k x‖ ≤ 2 ε |π x| and B bounds the derivative of the cutoff, then at
every scale δ > 0 the spliced map has derivative within (3 + 4 B) ε of A at x, for a
functional π of norm at most 1. The derivative δ⁻¹ χ' (δ⁻¹ π x) • π of the cutoff only
meets l x - k x where |π x| ≤ 2 δ.
A splice across a strip is injective with injective derivative when both maps agree on the
central line and their derivatives stay close to a linear map with a left inverse. The bound on
ε makes the splice composed with that left inverse approximate the identity.
