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.
Smooth compact supports are dense in Schwartz space
Statement
For and the preceding cutoff, and tends to in every Schwartz seminorm as . Thus is dense in the topology of Schwartz topology and convergence. This is choice-free.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Schwartz seminorms and multi-index notation (Schwartz space and its seminorms, maps and multi-index derivative notation in Euclidean space).
The cutoff equals one on the unit ball, vanishes outside radius two, and its dilated derivatives have factor (Explicit compactly supported smooth cutoffs).
The one-variable higher product rule holds (The general Leibniz rule for the -th derivative of a product).
Smooth mixed partials commute (Continuous mixed partials of order are invariant under permutations).
Proof
Apply [F2] successively in each coordinate and use [F3] to regroup derivatives; for complex functions apply the real rule to the four real products. This gives , where . Also, on , gives Indeed multiply the left side by and bound each by its seminorm.
For , [F1] makes the undifferentiated product-rule term vanish on and have coefficient at most one elsewhere. For , is supported on , with supremum , . Boundedness follows from continuity on its compact support. Hence for the formula in step 1.1 gives This tends to zero. The product is smooth with compact support inside the dilated support of ; each weighted derivative is bounded on that compact set, so . Taking the explicit integers proves density.
