The Laplacian of an integral over a compact parameter space #
For a function F that is C² on an open set W ⊆ E × P of a finite-dimensional real inner
product space E times a parameter space P, a continuous map ι : α → P from a compact space,
and an integrable weight g on α, the Laplacian in x commutes with integration:
Δ (x ↦ ∫ g(y) F(x, ι y) dμ(y)) = ∫ g(y) Δ (F(·, ι y)) dμ(y)
on any open set U with U × ι(α) ⊆ W. In particular the integral is harmonic there as soon as
each F(·, ι y) is, which is how the Poisson integral of integrable boundary data on a sphere is
shown to be harmonic.
Main declarations #
TauCeti.laplacian_integral_smul_of_contDiffOn: the Laplacian of the integral is the integral of the Laplacians.TauCeti.harmonicOnNhd_integral_smul_of_contDiffOn: an integral of harmonic functions against an integrable weight is harmonic.
The Laplacian commutes with integration over a compact parameter space. If F is C²
on an open set W ⊆ E × P and U × ι(α) ⊆ W for an open set U, then at every point of U the
Laplacian of x ↦ ∫ g(y) F(x, ι y) dμ(y) is the integral of the Laplacians of the slices
F(·, ι y).
Integrals of harmonic functions are harmonic. If F is C² on an open set
W ⊆ E × P, U × ι(α) ⊆ W for an open set U, and each slice F(·, ι y) is harmonic on U,
then x ↦ ∫ g(y) F(x, ι y) dμ(y) is harmonic on U for every integrable weight g.
