Meyers–Serrin density theorem (real line version): smooth compactly supported
functions are dense in Integrable ∩ MemLp 2
.
Approximating an L¹ ∩ L²
function by a smooth compactly supported function in both norms.
Helper lemma for simultaneously approximating an L¹ ∩ L²
function by a Schwartz
function with small error in both norms.
Placeholder: simultaneously approximate an L¹ ∩ L²
function by Schwartz
functions that converge in both norms.
Placeholder: convergence of squared norms under L² convergence.
Once proved, this should assert that if φ n
tends to g
in L²
and all the
functions lie in L²
, then the squared norms of φ n
converge to the squared
norm of g
.
Placeholder: convergence of Fourier transforms in L²
when the original
functions converge in both L¹
and L²
.
The eventual goal is to show that if φ n → g
in L¹ ∩ L²
, then the Fourier
transforms also converge in L²
.
Placeholder: the Fourier transform of an L¹ ∩ L²
function lies in L²
.
Ultimately this should follow from the Plancherel theorem once the preceding lemmas are established.
Fourier-Plancherel theorem for L¹ ∩ L² functions.
This is the CORRECT version of the Plancherel identity for functions in both L¹ and L².
Unlike the invalid fourierIntegral_l2_norm_INVALID
, this version has both:
- L¹ assumption (Integrable g): ensures fourierIntegral g is well-defined pointwise
- L² assumption (MemLp g 2): ensures the L² norms on both sides are finite
With both assumptions, we can prove:
- fourierIntegral g ∈ L² (by Plancherel)
- ∫ ‖g‖² = (1/(2π)) * ∫ ‖fourierIntegral g‖²
This is the standard textbook version of Plancherel for L¹ ∩ L².
