Test functions for the exponential transfer identity #
This file formalizes the two test functions used in the exponential transfer
identity. They are written with max and min; for positive c,d this is
equivalent to the corresponding indicator notation and makes global
continuity transparent.
ψ(x) = 1_{x ≥ 0} + exp (x/c) 1_{x < 0} for c > 0.

φ is continuous, including at its joining point zero.
ψ is continuous, including at its joining point zero.
Exponential-weight integrability required by the Stein identity.
Exponential damping supplies the boundary term at infinity.
Derivative of φ on the positive half-line.

Away from zero, φ' has the piecewise formula used by the transfer
identity.
Away from zero, ψ' has the piecewise formula used by the transfer

Weighted integrability of the formal derivative of φ along an
affine path.
Weighted integrability of the formal derivative of ψ.
The formal derivative of φ is integrable on every finite
interval.
The formal derivative of ψ is integrable on every finite
interval.
An affine path hits the exceptional point zero only on a null set,
so the composite φ (y + a e) has the expected derivative a.e.
The analogous a.e. composite derivative statement for ψ.
Fixed-y, positive-scale one-sided Stein identity for the first test
function. The proof splits according to whether the unique affine kink
-y/a lies in the positive half-line.
