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:
- $\phi_n \stackrel \DD {\longrightarrow} \phi$
![]() | Further research is required in order to fill out the details. In particular: Check how to make the partial differential operator work with complex variables You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by finding out more. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{Research}} from the code. |
