Relate pairing with a Schwartz test function to the L²
inner product.
Two L²
functions that have identical pairings with all Schwartz tests
coincide almost everywhere.
Hölder's inequality on a ball: L¹ norm bounded by L² norm times measure to the 1/2.
The Lebesgue measure of a ball in ℝ.
For a finite collection of integrable functions and their tails, we can find a uniform radius R such that all tails are small.
Helper: bound tail of difference by triangle inequality.
If Schwartz functions φₙ approximate f in both L¹ and L², then their Fourier transforms converge pointwise to the Fourier transform of f. We require L¹ convergence explicitly, since L² convergence alone is insufficient.
If Schwartz functions φₙ approximate f in L², then their Fourier transforms form a Cauchy sequence in L², which converges strongly to some limit in L².
When a function f
is approximated in L²
by Schwartz functions, the
corresponding Fourier transforms form a Cauchy sequence in L²
and hence
converge to some limit in L²
. We package this convergence datum.
For an L²
function, the square of its norm is integrable.
Truncating an integrable function to a ball preserves integrability.
Small L¹ and L² tails for integrable and L²
functions.
Control the L¹ error after truncating a function outside a ball using the tail integral.
Control the L² error after truncating a function outside a ball using the squared tail integral.
L¹/L² control on the difference between f
and its ball truncation.
