Convolution with continuous compactly supported kernels on L²(ℝ³) #
Scalar facts behind the Leray projection of prop:lps-smoothing: convolution with a
continuous compactly supported kernel is bounded on L², its L² adjoint is
convolution with the reflected kernel, it maps test functions to test
functions commuting with partial derivatives, and a weak derivative of the
convolved function can be moved onto a smooth kernel.
Pointwise formula for real convolution (prop:lps-smoothing).
Convolution with a continuous compactly supported kernel is bounded on
L²(ℝ³): ‖θ ⋆ f‖₂ ≤ ‖θ‖₁ ‖f‖₂ (prop:lps-smoothing).
Convolution with a continuous compactly supported kernel preserves
L²(ℝ³) (prop:lps-smoothing).
The L² adjoint of convolution with θ is convolution with the reflected
kernel x ↦ θ (-x) (prop:lps-smoothing).
Moving a weak derivative onto a smooth compactly supported kernel:
(∂_k η) ⋆ g = η ⋆ G when G is the weak k-th derivative of g
(prop:lps-smoothing).

Convolving a test function with a continuous kernel commutes with partial
derivatives (prop:lps-smoothing).
Convolving a test function with a continuous compactly supported kernel
gives a test function (prop:lps-smoothing).
Convolution of two compactly supported functions is compactly supported
(prop:lps-smoothing).
