Weak derivative identities for Lipschitz functions

For a finite-dimensional real Hilbert space with an additive Haar measure, inner_gradient_eq_fderiv_apply identifies the inner product with the canonical gradient and the Fréchet derivative. Compactly supported C¹ functions have bounded derivatives, their directional derivative integrates to zero, and integral_mul_fderiv_apply gives the corresponding integration-by-parts identity. The main theorem integral_mul_inner_gradient states that for a globally Lipschitz g, every smooth compactly supported test φ, and every direction w, the integral of φ times ⟨∇g,w⟩ equals the negative integral of g times the directional derivative of φ. The gradient is the canonical gradient, understood almost everywhere through the stated Lipschitz hypotheses.
