How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Fixed support test function spaces are complete
Statement
For every compact with open, the space is Hausdorff, locally convex and complete for This metric induces exactly its derivative-seminorm topology. Multiplying the metric by two gives the equivalent convention with weights . These assertions require no choice axiom.
Facts & Assumptions
The functions, increasing seminorms and zero extensions are defined in Fixed support test function frechet space.
On a nondegenerate closed real interval, uniform convergence of continuously differentiable functions and their derivatives identifies the derivative of the limit; the weaker hypothesis of convergence at one point suffices (If continuously differentiable functions converge at one point and their derivatives converge uniformly on a closed interval, then the functions converge uniformly to a differentiable function whose derivative is the derivative limit). Apply this to real and imaginary parts separately.
Proof
Given: a compact and its space in F1.
Nonnegativity, symmetry and separation for follow from F1 and its term. The inequality gives the triangle inequality term by term. For fixed and , implies . Conversely, given , choose with ; then gives . These bounds identify the two topologies and their Cauchy sequences. Seminorm balls are convex, and their triangle and homogeneity inequalities give continuity of vector operations.
Let be -Cauchy and extend each function smoothly by zero to . For every multi-index , the functions are uniformly Cauchy on all of : outside they vanish and on the bound is . At each point their complex values have a unique limit . Passing to infinity in the uniform Cauchy bound proves uniform convergence to . This definition uses unique limits, not a choice of subsequences. Each is continuous: at a point, approximate it uniformly by one continuous derivative within and use continuity of that derivative. It vanishes off .
Fix a coordinate direction , a point and a positive . On , the functions and their derivatives converge uniformly to and respectively. F2, componentwise, gives . All these functions are continuous by step 2.1, so iterating this identity shows is smooth with every derivative . Its support is contained in the closed set , hence .
Uniform convergence of the finitely many derivatives of order at most gives for each , hence by step 1.1. This proves completeness. If is empty or has empty interior, F1 makes the space zero and the same argument yields its sole element. No endpoint differentiation in was assumed: the coordinate segments in step 3.1 lie in the globally smooth zero extension.

Dependency tree · two levels
22 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
