Integrable kernels preserve bounded Hölder estimates #
Convolution with an integrable scalar kernel preserves both a uniform bound and a Hölder constant, multiplying each by the integral of the kernel norm. This applies to truncated planar Cauchy and Newtonian kernels, and to the normalized smoothing kernels used to pass their estimates from smooth to Hölder data.
A kernel cutoff at the sum of the support and output radii leaves its convolution integrand unchanged on the output disc.
A bounded continuous function is integrable against every translate of an integrable scalar kernel.
An integrable scalar kernel multiplies the uniform bound by its L¹ norm.
An integrable scalar kernel preserves a Hölder exponent and multiplies its constant by
its L¹ norm. No boundedness is needed: the Hölder condition makes any two translates of the
integrand differ by an integrable function, so either every convolution integral is
well-defined or none is, and then all of them vanish.
