Infinite differentiability on the whole of the interior #
interior_smooth produces a smooth representative on the interior of each compact V ⋐ Ω
separately, with nothing relating the representatives two different choices of V supply. This
file glues them into a single function smooth on the whole of Ω.
The gluing needs no construction of its own. Two representatives, one for a compact V₁ and one
for a compact V₂, are continuous and agree almost everywhere with the same class wherever their
interiors meet, so they agree there; exists_contDiffOn_of_compact_ae is exactly this fact
packaged for a hypothesis stated over every compact subset of Ω at once, and applying it to the
family interior_smooth supplies is the whole proof.
Main declarations #
interior_smooth_global: Evans's Theorem 3, with one representative smooth on all ofΩrather than on the interior of each compact exhaustion piece.
Infinite differentiability in the interior (Evans, Partial Differential Equations
(2nd ed.), §6.3.1, Theorem 3, p. 334), with one representative on all of Ω. Under the
hypotheses of interior_smooth, the local representatives on the interior of every compact
V ⊆ Ω agree on the interiors they share, so exists_contDiffOn_of_compact_ae assembles them
into a single function smooth on the whole open set Ω, rather than merely on the interior of
each compact subset in turn.
