The Exponential Bump Building Block is Smooth on the Real Line

Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, an ordered field with order ≤\le, regarded also as the Euclidean space R1\mathbb{R}^{1}, which is an open subset of itself by claim 1 of Polynomial Functions on the Real Line are Smooth. Write s−1s^{-1} for the multiplicative inverse of s∈Rs\in\mathbb{R} with s≠0s\ne 0, and let exp⁡\exp be the exponential function.

Let φ:R→R\varphi:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be the function given by

φ(s)=exp⁡(−(s−1))  for 0<s,φ(s)=0  for s≤0.\varphi(s)=\exp\bigl(-\bigl(s^{-1}\bigr)\bigr)\ \text{ for }0<s,\qquad \varphi(s)=0\ \text{ for }s\le 0.

Then the following hold.

1. (Sign) 0≤φ(s)0\le\varphi(s) for every s∈Rs\in\mathbb{R}; and for s∈Rs\in\mathbb{R} one has 0<φ(s)0<\varphi(s) if and only if 0<s0<s.

2. (Smoothness) φ\varphi is a smooth map on R1\mathbb{R}^{1}.
