Continuity and smoothness of the angular mean #
The angular mean ๐ซu = (2ฯ)โปยน โซโ^{2ฯ} โ_ฯ u dฯ of eq:interior:average is as regular
as u on the unit cylinder: if u is continuous (respectively C^n) on Q then so is
๐ซu. This is differentiation under the integral sign for a parametric integral over the
compact angle interval [0, 2ฯ], whose integrand (ฯ, z) โฆ Q_ฯ u(Q_ฯโปยน x, t) is jointly
C^n on โ ร Q because the rotations preserve Q. For a Cยน field the spatial partial
derivatives of the angular mean are the angular means of the spatial partial derivatives of the
rotated fields (spatialPartial_angularMean).
The first section proves the general statement: an integral over Ioc a b of an integrand
that is jointly C^n on โ ร s, s open in a proper normed space, is C^n on s. The
derivative under the integral sign is hasFDerivAt_integral_of_dominated_of_fderiv_le with
the constant domination obtained from the compactness of [a, b] ร closedBall xโ ฮต; the
induction on the order of differentiability follows contDiffOn_succ_iff_fderiv_of_isOpen.

For a Cยน field, a spatial partial derivative of the angular mean is the angular mean of
the corresponding spatial partial derivatives of the rotated fields: the derivative passes under
the angular integral.
