Distributions which are constant in time

i. Overview

in this module given a distribution on `Space d`, we define the associated distribution on `Time × Space d` which is constant in time.

This is defined by integrating Schwartz Maps on `Time × Space d` over the time coordinate, to get a Schwartz Map on `Space d`.

ii. Key results

- `Space.timeIntegralSchwartz` : the integral over time of a Schwartz map on `Time × Space d` to give a Schwartz map on `Space d`. - `Space.constantTime` : the distribution on `Time × Space d` associated with a distribution on `Space d`, which is constant in time.

theorem

The Time Integral of a Schwartz Map is Continuous

For any dimension dd and any Schwartz function η:Time×Space d→R\eta : \text{Time} \times \text{Space } d \to \mathbb{R}, the function mapping each spatial point x∈Space dx \in \text{Space } d to the integral of η\eta over time, x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dt, x \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt, is continuous on Space d\text{Space } d.

theorem

Fréchet Derivative of the Time Integral of a Schwartz Map

Let dd be a natural number. Let η∈S(Time×Space d,R)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}) be a Schwartz function, where Time\text{Time} and Space d\text{Space } d are finite-dimensional real inner product spaces. For any point x0∈Space dx_0 \in \text{Space } d, the spatial function defined by the integral over time, x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dtx \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt, is Fréchet differentiable at x0x_0. Its Fréchet derivative is given by the integral of the partial Fréchet derivative of η\eta with respect to the spatial variable: D(∫Timeη(t,x) dt)∣x=x0=∫TimeDxη(t,x0) dt D \left( \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt \right) \bigg|_{x=x_0} = \int_{\text{Time}} D_x \eta(t, x_0) \, dt where Dxη(t,x0)D_x \eta(t, x_0) is the Fréchet derivative of the map x↦η(t,x)x \mapsto \eta(t, x) evaluated at x0x_0.

For any spatial dimension d∈Nd \in \mathbb{N} and any natural numbers n,m∈Nn, m \in \mathbb{N}, there exists a natural number rtr_t such that for every Schwartz function η∈S(Time×Space d,R)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}) and for every spatial point x∈Space dx \in \text{Space } d, the following conditions hold: 1. The function t↦(1+∥t∥)−rtt \mapsto (1 + \|t\|)^{-r_t} is integrable with respect to the volume measure on Time\text{Time}. 2. The product of ∥x∥m\|x\|^m and the norm of the nn-th Fréchet derivative of the time integral x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dtx \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt satisfies the inequality: ∥x∥m∥Dn(∫Timeη(t,x) dt)∥≤(∫Time1(1+∥t∥)rt dt)∥L∥n⋅2rt+m(sup⁡j≤rt+m,k≤npj,k(η)) \|x\|^m \left\| D^n \left( \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt \right) \right\| \leq \left( \int_{\text{Time}} \frac{1}{(1 + \|t\|)^{r_t}} \, dt \right) \|L\|^n \cdot 2^{r_t+m} \left( \sup_{j \leq r_t+m, k \leq n} p_{j,k}(\eta) \right) where DnD^n denotes the nn-th Fréchet derivative, L:Space d→Time×Space dL: \text{Space } d \to \text{Time} \times \text{Space } d is the continuous linear map defined by L(y)=(0,y)L(y) = (0, y), and pj,k(η)p_{j,k}(\eta) denotes the standard Schwartz seminorm of η\eta associated with the jj-th power of the norm and the kk-th order derivative.

definition

Time integration of Schwartz maps

For any dimension dd, the continuous linear map timeIntegralSchwartz\text{timeIntegralSchwartz} maps a Schwartz function η∈S(Time×Space d,R)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}) to a Schwartz function in S(Space d,R)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}) by integrating over the time coordinate. For an element x∈Space dx \in \text{Space } d, the resulting function is defined as: (timeIntegralSchwartz η)(x)=∫Timeη(t,x) dt (\text{timeIntegralSchwartz} \, \eta)(x) = \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt where the integration is performed with respect to the volume measure on the Time\text{Time} space.

theorem

Pointwise evaluation of the time integral of a Schwartz function

For any dimension dd, let η∈S(Time×Space d,R)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}) be a Schwartz function and x∈Space dx \in \text{Space } d be a point in space. The value of the time-integrated Schwartz function timeIntegralSchwartz η\text{timeIntegralSchwartz} \, \eta at the point xx is given by the integral of η\eta over the time coordinate: (timeIntegralSchwartz η)(x)=∫Timeη(t,x) dt (\text{timeIntegralSchwartz} \, \eta)(x) = \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt where the integration is performed with respect to the volume measure on Time\text{Time}.

definition

Time-constant distribution associated with a spatial distribution

The linear map `constantTime` transforms an MM-valued distribution ff on Space d\text{Space } d into a distribution on Time×Space d\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d that is constant in time. For any Schwartz test function η∈S(Time×Space d,R)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}), the action of the resulting distribution is defined by: (constantTime f)(η)=f(x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dt) (\text{constantTime} \, f)(\eta) = f \left( x \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt \right) In other words, the distribution ff is applied to the time-integral of the test function η\eta.

theorem

(constantTime f)(η)=f(timeIntegralSchwartz η)(\text{constantTime } f)(\eta) = f(\text{timeIntegralSchwartz } \eta)

For any dimension dd and any MM-valued distribution ff on Space d\text{Space } d (where MM is a normed space over R\mathbb{R}), let η∈S(Time×Space d,R)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}) be a Schwartz test function. The action of the time-constant distribution constantTime f\text{constantTime } f on η\eta is given by applying ff to the time-integral of η\eta: (constantTime f)(η)=f(timeIntegralSchwartz η) (\text{constantTime } f)(\eta) = f(\text{timeIntegralSchwartz } \eta) where timeIntegralSchwartz η\text{timeIntegralSchwartz } \eta is the Schwartz function on Space d\text{Space } d defined by x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dtx \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt.

theorem

∂∂xi(constantTime f)=constantTime (∂f∂xi)\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} (\text{constantTime } f) = \text{constantTime } (\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i})

Let MM be a real normed vector space and dd be a natural number. For any MM-valued distribution ff on Space d\text{Space } d and any spatial coordinate index i∈{0,…,d−1}i \in \{0, \dots, d-1\}, the ii-th spatial partial derivative of the time-constant distribution associated with ff is equal to the time-constant distribution associated with the ii-th partial derivative of ff. Specifically, ∂∂xi(constantTime f)=constantTime(∂f∂xi) \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} (\text{constantTime } f) = \text{constantTime} \left( \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i} \right) where constantTime f\text{constantTime } f is the distribution on Time×Space d\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d whose action on a Schwartz test function η(t,x)\eta(t, x) is given by f(x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dt)f(x \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt).

theorem

∇space(constantTime f)=constantTime(∇f)\nabla_{\text{space}} (\text{constantTime } f) = \text{constantTime} (\nabla f)

For any natural number dd, let ff be a real-valued distribution on Space d\text{Space } d. The spatial gradient of the time-constant distribution associated with ff is equal to the time-constant distribution associated with the distributional gradient of ff. That is, ∇space(constantTime f)=constantTime(∇f) \nabla_{\text{space}} (\text{constantTime } f) = \text{constantTime} (\nabla f) where constantTime f\text{constantTime } f is the distribution on Time×Space d\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d whose action on a Schwartz test function η(t,x)\eta(t, x) is f(x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dt)f(x \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt), ∇space\nabla_{\text{space}} is the gradient with respect to the spatial coordinates, and ∇f\nabla f is the distributional gradient of ff on Space d\text{Space } d.

theorem

∇space⋅(constantTime f)=constantTime(∇⋅f)\nabla_{\text{space}} \cdot (\text{constantTime } \mathbf{f}) = \text{constantTime} (\nabla \cdot \mathbf{f})

Let dd be a natural number representing the spatial dimension. For any vector-valued distribution f\mathbf{f} on Space d\text{Space } d (where Space d≅Rd\text{Space } d \cong \mathbb{R}^d) taking values in the Euclidean space Rd\mathbb{R}^d, let constantTime f\text{constantTime } \mathbf{f} be the distribution on Time×Space d\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d associated with f\mathbf{f} that is constant in time. The spatial divergence of constantTime f\text{constantTime } \mathbf{f} is equal to the time-constant distribution associated with the distributional divergence of f\mathbf{f}: ∇space⋅(constantTime f)=constantTime(∇⋅f) \nabla_{\text{space}} \cdot (\text{constantTime } \mathbf{f}) = \text{constantTime} (\nabla \cdot \mathbf{f}) where ∇space⋅\nabla_{\text{space}} \cdot denotes the divergence operator acting on the spatial coordinates of a distribution on Time×Space d\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, and ∇⋅f\nabla \cdot \mathbf{f} is the divergence of the distribution f\mathbf{f} on Space d\text{Space } d.

theorem

∇space×(constantTime f)=constantTime (∇×f)\nabla_{\text{space}} \times (\text{constantTime } f) = \text{constantTime } (\nabla \times f)

Let ff be an R3\mathbb{R}^3-valued distribution on Space 3\text{Space } 3. Let constantTime f\text{constantTime } f be the distribution on Time×Space 3\text{Time} \times \text{Space } 3 defined by its action on a Schwartz test function η(t,x)\eta(t, x) as (constantTime f)(η)=f(x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dt)(\text{constantTime } f)(\eta) = f(x \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt). Then the spatial distributional curl of constantTime f\text{constantTime } f is equal to the time-constant distribution associated with the curl of ff: ∇space×(constantTime f)=constantTime (∇×f) \nabla_{\text{space}} \times (\text{constantTime } f) = \text{constantTime } (\nabla \times f) where ∇space×\nabla_{\text{space}} \times denotes the curl operator acting on the spatial coordinates of distributions on Time×Space 3\text{Time} \times \text{Space } 3, and ∇×f\nabla \times f is the curl of the distribution ff on Space 3\text{Space } 3.

theorem

∂∂t(constantTime f)=0\frac{\partial}{\partial t} (\text{constantTime } f) = 0

Let MM be a real normed space and d∈Nd \in \mathbb{N} be the spatial dimension. For any MM-valued distribution ff on Space d\text{Space } d, let constantTime f\text{constantTime } f denote the distribution on Time×Space d\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d associated with ff which is constant in time. This distribution is defined by its action on a Schwartz test function η∈S(Time×Space d,R)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}) as (constantTime f)(η)=f(x↦∫Timeη(t,x) dt)(\text{constantTime } f)(\eta) = f(x \mapsto \int_{\text{Time}} \eta(t, x) \, dt). Then, the temporal derivative of this distribution is the zero distribution: ∂∂t(constantTime f)=0 \frac{\partial}{\partial t} (\text{constantTime } f) = 0
