Compactly supported test approximation for weak Vlasov solutions #
Mollification converges together with its first derivative. These estimates extend the weak equation to compactly supported C¹ tests, independently of flow inversion.
Helper 1 — uniform mollification of a continuous, compactly-supported function.
The mollified family ρ_n ⋆ g converges to g uniformly (not just pointwise), the
load-bearing analytic input the C¹_c test-class enlargement (#4) needs. Proof: uniform
continuity of g (compact support) gives a single δ; once rOut_n < δ, the pointwise bump
estimate dist_normed_convolution_le fires at every base point simultaneously.
Helper 2 — the mollified Fréchet derivative converges uniformly.
fderiv (ρ_n ⋆ χ) = ρ_n ⋆ (fderiv χ) (convolution commutes onto the C¹ factor via
HasCompactSupport.hasFDerivAt_convolution_right, with precompR reconciled to lsmul on the
operator codomain), and the right-hand side converges uniformly to fderiv χ by Helper 1 applied
to the continuous, compactly-supported fderiv χ.
Norm bound for the dual-composed difference of two Fréchet derivatives.
Chain rule: the Fréchet derivative of an x-slice is the composition with inl.
Chain rule: the Fréchet derivative of a v-slice is the composition with inr.
Continuity of the first-slot partial-gradient field of a C¹ test function.
Continuity of the second-slot partial-gradient field of a C¹ test function.
Compact support of the first-slot partial-gradient field.
Compact support of the second-slot partial-gradient field.
First-slot partial gradients of two tests differ by at most the full Fréchet-derivative difference.
Second-slot partial gradients of two tests differ by at most the full Fréchet-derivative difference.
Integrability of the weak-evolution integrand against a probability measure: continuous with compact support (both gradient slots), continuous field.
Pointwise bound on the difference of two weak-evolution integrands: on the
common support K it is (R_K + B) * δ (norm bound R_K on K, field bound B
on K, gradient-slot distance δ); off K both integrands agree.
On the window, the frozen convolution field over the spatial marginal is integrable (in force form), linearly bounded, and continuous — packaged for consumers that quantify over the window.
Uniform convergence of integrands implies convergence of the integrals against a probability measure (every term integrable).
