The dilated radius-1-to-2 bump cutoff #
This family supports localization arguments in real inner-product spaces:
one fixed ContDiffBump that equals one on the closed unit ball and vanishes
outside the ball of radius two, dilated to cutoff E R x = χ (R⁻¹ • x).
Because every member of the family is a dilation of the same bump, its
derivative bounds have R-independent constants:
‖iteratedFDeriv ℝ n (cutoff E R) x‖ ≤ derivativeConstant E n / R ^ n, and the
scale-invariant ‖fderiv ℝ (cutoff E R) x‖ * ‖x‖ ≤ 2 * derivativeConstant E 1.
The space is an explicit argument of the definitions so that partial applications
such as cutoff E R elaborate without an expected type. The derivative constant
is accessed through its positivity and bound lemmas; its choice is private.
The fixed bump with inner radius one and outer radius two.

Equations
Instances For
Near any point of the open ball of radius R the cutoff is identically one.
Plateaus #
Every bounded set lies in the plateau of all sufficiently large cutoffs.
On a fixed bounded set the cutoffs eventually agree with the constant one.
Every fixed compact set lies in the plateau of all sufficiently large cutoffs.
Derivative bounds under dilation #
Dilating a smooth function by R⁻¹ divides a uniform bound on its nth
derivative by R ^ n.
Compact support #
From here on the space is finite-dimensional, so the closed balls containing the supports are compact and every derivative of the bump is bounded.
A fixed positive bound for the nth derivative of the unscaled bump.
Instances For
Each spatial derivative contributes precisely one inverse power of the radius.
The scale-invariant derivative bound: the gradient of cutoff E R is of size
R⁻¹ and lives where ‖x‖ ≤ 2 R, so the product is bounded independently of R.
