Definition:Convergent Sequence/Test Function Space

Definition
Let $\map \DD {\R^d}$ be the test function space with the compact support $K \subseteq \R^d$.

Let $\sequence {\phi_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$ be a sequence in $\map \DD {\R^d}$.

Let $\phi \in \map \DD {\R^d}$ be a test function.

Let $D^k := \dfrac {\partial^{k_1 + k_2 + \ldots + k_d}} {\partial x_1^{k_1} \partial x_2^{k_2} \ldots \partial x_d^{k_d} }$ be a partial differential operator with the multiindex $k = \tuple {k_1, k_2, \ldots, k_d}$.

Suppose:


 * $\forall n \in \N : \forall x \in \R^d \setminus K : \map {\phi_n} x = 0$

Suppose $\sequence {\phi_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$ converges uniformly to $\phi$.

Suppose that for every multiindex $k$ the sequence $\sequence {D^k \phi_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$ converges uniformly to $D^k \phi$.

Then the sequence $\sequence {\phi_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$ converges to $\phi$ in $\map \DD {\R^d}$.

This can be denoted:
 * $\phi_n \stackrel \DD {\longrightarrow} \phi$
