Defines admissible domains (open subsets of or relatively open subsets of the closed upper half-space), differential n-forms on them with their coefficient functions, continuity, support, compact support, and the zero extension of the coefficient function.
Let . We call a subset of Euclidean space an admissible domain if either is an open subset of , or is a subset of the closed upper half-space that is open in in the sense of that definition. In the first case set , and otherwise set ; we call the ambient set of .
A differential -form on is an assignment which to each point assigns an alternating -linear form on . For each let denote the th standard basis vector, whose th coordinate is and whose other coordinates are . The coefficient function of is the function
We say that is continuous if is continuous at every point of .
The support of , denoted , is the set of all such that every open subset with contains a point with . Let be the collection of subsets of that are open in the metric space with the Euclidean distance , which is a metric by with the Euclidean Distance Is a Complete Metric Space with Coordinatewise Convergence; is a topology on by The Open Subsets of a Metric Space Form a Topology. We say that is compactly supported in if is compact in and .
The zero extension of the coefficient function of is the function defined by for and for .
