Time derivatives of integrals with uniform compact spatial support #
The public statements use the ordinary volume integral over all of R³. Uniform compact support supplies integrability and a local dominating function.
Joint continuity on a time set gives continuity of each spatial slice.
A continuous spatial slice supported in a fixed compact set is integrable.
Ordinary spatial integration preserves continuity on the time set under uniform compact support. In particular the time set may be a closed interval.
A time derivative vanishes outside the uniform spatial support at every interior time.
Differentiation under the ordinary spatial integral. Joint continuity of the field and its time derivative is needed only at interior times.
The time derivative of a jointly C¹ field at an interior time is the full derivative evaluated on the time direction.
The time component of the full derivative is jointly continuous in the interior of the time slab.
The ordinary one-dimensional time derivative of a jointly C¹ field is jointly continuous at interior times.
A jointly C¹ field with uniform compact spatial support has a continuous ordinary spatial integral throughout the closed time slab.
At interior times, the derivative of the ordinary spatial integral is the integral of the ordinary time derivative.
A convenient form of differentiation under the spatial integral in which the derivative is supplied pointwise only at the time being considered.
