Reason: First published version. For an open subset of R^n and delta > 0, the set of points whose closed delta-ball lies in the set admits a strictly larger ball inside the set at each of its points, and is therefore itself open. This is the natural domain of a convolution with a kernel supported in the closed delta-ball.

Statement

Let n1n\ge1 be a natural number, let \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert be the Euclidean norm on Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n and let dd be the Euclidean distance, a metric on Rn\mathbb{R}^n; write Bˉ(x,r)\bar B(x,r) for the closed ball of centre xx and radius rr in (Rn,d)(\mathbb{R}^n,d).

Let ΩRn\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n be open in (Rn,d)(\mathbb{R}^n,d), let δ>0\delta>0 be a real number, and put

Ωδ={xRn:Bˉ(x,δ)Ω}.\Omega^{\delta}=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:\bar B(x,\delta)\subseteq\Omega\}.

1. (Room to spare) For every xΩδx\in\Omega^{\delta} there is a real number η>0\eta>0 with Bˉ(x,δ+η)Ω\bar B(x,\delta+\eta)\subseteq\Omega.

2. (Openness) Ωδ\Omega^{\delta} is open in (Rn,d)(\mathbb{R}^n,d).
