For a smooth compactly supported kernel and a continuously differentiable periodic function, the derivative in a periodic convolution may be moved between the kernel and the function; consequently the mollifications of such a function converge to it uniformly together with their first partial derivatives.

Statement

We work in the setting of The Flat Torus: Standing Notation, used here with a natural number nn satisfying 1n1\le n; the cell QQ, the measure space (Q,BQ,λQ)(Q,\mathcal{B}_{Q},\lambda_{Q}), the integral over Tn\mathbb{T}^{n}, the class L1(Tn)\mathcal{L}^{1}(\mathbb{T}^{n}), the periodic classes CperC_{\mathrm{per}}, Cper1C^{1}_{\mathrm{per}} and CperC^{\infty}_{\mathrm{per}}, the restriction vQv|_{Q}, and the Euclidean norm \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert are the ones fixed there, as are the partial derivatives i\partial_{i}. A map RnR\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} is called continuous, and smooth, as in Periodic Convolution and Mollification on the Torus, and ψu\psi\star u denotes the periodic convolution.

Throughout, RR is a real number with 0<R0<R, the map ψ:RnR\psi:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} is smooth with ψ(y)=0\psi(y)=0 for every yRny\in\mathbb{R}^{n} satisfying R<yR<\lVert y\rVert, and φCper1\varphi\in C^{1}_{\mathrm{per}}. Every member of Cper1C^{1}_{\mathrm{per}} belongs to CperC_{\mathrm{per}}, since a map of class C1C^{1} on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} is continuous by claim 3 of Euclidean Space is Open in Itself, and CkC^k Maps are Continuous and periodicity is the same condition for both classes by Lattice-Periodic Functions and the Periodic Function Classes §classes; and iφCper\partial_{i}\varphi\in C_{\mathrm{per}} for every i[n]i\in[n] by Elementary Properties of Lattice-Periodic Functions §derivative. Hence φQ\varphi|_{Q} and (iφ)Q(\partial_{i}\varphi)|_{Q} lie in L1(Tn)\mathcal{L}^{1}(\mathbb{T}^{n}) by Continuous Periodic Functions are Power-Integrable and Dense on the Torus §member, used with the exponent 11, so that the periodic convolutions written below are defined. Then the following hold.

1. (Transfer of a partial derivative) Let i[n]i\in[n]. The map iψ\partial_{i}\psi is continuous and vanishes at every yy with R<yR<\lVert y\rVert, by Convolution of a Locally Integrable Function with a Compactly Supported Kernel §derivative, so it may be taken as a kernel in its own right. As maps on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n},

ψ((iφ)Q)=(iψ)(φQ)=i(ψ(φQ)).\psi\star\bigl((\partial_{i}\varphi)|_{Q}\bigr)=(\partial_{i}\psi)\star(\varphi|_{Q})=\partial_{i}\bigl(\psi\star(\varphi|_{Q})\bigr).

2. (Uniform approximation together with the first derivatives) Let δ\delta be a real number with 0<δ0<\delta, let ρ\rho be a mollifier kernel of radius δ\delta on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, and for a real number ε\varepsilon with 0<ε0<\varepsilon let ρε\rho_{\varepsilon} be its rescaling, a mollifier kernel of radius εδ\varepsilon\delta by that lemma. Then for every real number η\eta with 0<η0<\eta there is a real number ε0\varepsilon_{0} with 0<ε00<\varepsilon_{0} such that for every real number ε\varepsilon with 0<ε<ε00<\varepsilon<\varepsilon_{0}, every xRnx\in\mathbb{R}^{n} and every i[n]i\in[n],

(ρε(φQ))(x)φ(x)ηandi(ρε(φQ))(x)iφ(x)η.\bigl|\bigl(\rho_{\varepsilon}\star(\varphi|_{Q})\bigr)(x)-\varphi(x)\bigr|\le\eta \qquad\text{and}\qquad \bigl|\partial_{i}\bigl(\rho_{\varepsilon}\star(\varphi|_{Q})\bigr)(x)-\partial_{i}\varphi(x)\bigr|\le\eta .
