Reason: Definition of a mollifier kernel of radius delta on R^n: smooth, nonnegative, supported in the closed ball of radius delta, and of unit Lebesgue mass.

Statement

Let nn be a natural number with 1n1\le n, let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, and let \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert be the Euclidean norm on Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, which is an open subset of itself by claim 1 of Euclidean Space is Open in Itself, and CkC^k Maps are Continuous. Let λn\lambda_{n} be Lebesgue measure on the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, and let δR\delta\in\mathbb{R} with 0<δ0<\delta.

A map ρ:RnR\rho:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} is a mollifier kernel of radius δ\delta on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} if the following four conditions hold.

1. (Smoothness) ρ\rho is smooth on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}.

2. (Nonnegativity) 0ρ(y)0\le\rho(y) for every yRny\in\mathbb{R}^{n}.

3. (Support) ρ(y)=0\rho(y)=0 for every yRny\in\mathbb{R}^{n} with δ<y\delta<\lVert y\rVert.

4. (Unit mass) ρ\rho is integrable with respect to λn\lambda_{n}, and

Rnρdλn=1.\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\rho\,d\lambda_{n}=1.
