L² functions can be approximated by continuous compactly supported functions in weighted L² spaces
Given a function with compact support on ℝ
, there exists a radius R > 0
such that the
topological support is contained in the closed ball of radius R
.
A continuous function with compact support on ℝ
is uniformly continuous.
A smooth cut-off function that equals 1
on the closed ball of radius R
and whose
support is contained in the closed ball of radius R + 1
.
If two functions coincide outside a measurable set of finite measure and are uniformly close on that set, then their L²-distance with respect to the weighted measure is controlled by the uniform bound and the measure of the set.
