Littlewood–Paley pieces of a Mihlin symbol #
Let φ : E → ℝ be a smooth bump function on a finite-dimensional real normed space, and let
ψⱼ ξ = φ (2^{-j} ξ) - φ (2^{1-j} ξ) be the dyadic Littlewood–Paley cutoffs built from it
(ContDiffBump.littlewoodPaley), which form a smooth partition of unity of E \ {0} with each
ψⱼ supported in the annulus 2^{j-1} φ.rIn ≤ ‖ξ‖ ≤ 2^j φ.rOut.
Cutting a symbol m that is smooth away from the origin by this partition gives the Schwartz
functions ψⱼ • m, which sum to m pointwise on E \ {0}. If m satisfies Mihlin's condition
of order N with constant A,
‖D^k m ξ‖ ≤ A ‖ξ‖^{-k} for k ≤ N and ξ ≠ 0,
then each piece is supported in closedBall 0 (2^j φ.rOut) and its derivatives satisfy the
scale-invariant bounds ‖D^k (ψⱼ • m) ξ‖ ≤ C A 2^{-jk} for k ≤ N, with C depending only on
φ and N, uniformly over the normed real codomain of m. On the annulus carrying ψⱼ, the
Leibniz rule pairs the factor 2^{-ji} from i derivatives of ψⱼ with the factor
‖ξ‖^{-(k-i)} ≈ 2^{-j(k-i)} from the remaining derivatives of m.
This is the decomposition at the start of the proof of the Mihlin–Hörmander multiplier theorem:
each piece is band-limited at scale 2^j with derivative bounds independent of j, which is the
input to the kernel estimates that establish Hörmander's condition for the kernel of the
multiplier.
The inhomogeneous partition ψ₀ = φ, ψⱼ = φ (2^{-j} ·) - φ (2^{1-j} ·) (j ≥ 1) of all of E
(ContDiffBump.inhomogeneousLittlewoodPaley) instead reconstructs every Schwartz function: the
partial sums of the Fourier multipliers 𝓕⁻ (ψⱼ • 𝓕 f) are the low-pass truncations
𝓕⁻ (φ (2^{-N} ·) • 𝓕 f), and these converge to f in the Schwartz topology.

Littlewood–Paley pieces of a Mihlin symbol. Let m be smooth on E \ {0} and satisfy
Mihlin's condition of order N with constant A ≥ 0: ‖D^k m ξ‖ ≤ A / ‖ξ‖^k for k ≤ N and
ξ ≠ 0. Then every Littlewood–Paley piece ψⱼ • m, which is supported in
closedBall 0 (2^j φ.rOut), satisfies ‖D^k (ψⱼ • m) ξ‖ ≤ C A / 2^{jk} for k ≤ N, where C
