Analytic facts about the cutoff covariance #
This file derives the elementary analytic input about the cutoff
ρ and its Euclidean covariance η = ρ * ρ directly from
SmoothCutoff. In particular, compact support is not carried as an
extra hypothesis: it follows from the explicit support-radius field.
These lemmas are the analytic base used by the n = 1 case and by the
cellwise estimates in paper §5.
A smooth cutoff is continuous.
The explicit support-radius field implies compact support.
Every smooth cutoff is Lebesgue-integrable.
A named positive pointwise bound for the cutoff.
The convolution integrand defining η is integrable.
The Euclidean covariance is nonnegative.
The covariance is bounded uniformly by any pointwise cutoff bound.
Consequently η admits a positive global upper bound depending only
on the named cutoff.
