Transport of test functions along continuous linear equivalences #
A continuous linear equivalence e : E ≃L[ℝ] E' carries a test function φ on an open set V
of E to the test function φ ∘ e.symm on any open set Ω of E' containing e '' V. This
transport is continuous for the LF topologies, so precomposing with it transports distributions
along e. Its derivative is the derivative of φ precomposed with e.symm. A test vector field
is transported by also applying e to its values, y ↦ e (φ (e.symm y)); its divergence is then
the transported divergence of φ, because the trace is invariant under conjugation.
These formulas transport the test-field pairings that define distributional derivatives, variation and perimeter along linear changes of variables, in particular along rotations and reflections.

Implementation notes #
Both transports work at every order of smoothness n. Continuity of transportTestFunction is
checked on each space of tests supported in a fixed compact K ⊆ V, whose transports are
supported in e '' K (transportSupportedIn); there the i-th derivative of φ ∘ e.symm is
bounded by ‖e.symm‖ ^ i times that of φ.
Transport along e of tests supported in a compact K, which are supported in e '' K, as a
continuous linear map. Its i-th seminorm is at most ‖e.symm‖ ^ i times that of the original
test.
Instances For
A transported test supported in K is evaluated at the inversely transported point.
Transport test functions on V along a continuous linear equivalence e, regarding the
result φ ∘ e.symm as a test function on an open set Ω containing e '' V. This is a
continuous linear map for the LF topologies.
Instances For
A transported test function is evaluated at the inversely transported point.
Transporting along a composite of continuous linear equivalences is transporting along each in turn.
Transporting along e.symm and then along e gives back the original test function.
Transport commutes with postcomposition by a continuous linear map.
The Fréchet derivative of a transported test function is the transported derivative,
precomposed with e.symm.
The divergence of a transported test vector field y ↦ e (φ (e.symm y)) is the transported
divergence of φ.
