Let EEE be a finite-dimensional real normed space, let U⊆CU\subseteq\mathbb{C}U⊆C be open, and let 1≤p≤∞1\le p\le\infty1≤p≤∞. Let ξ:C→E\xi:\mathbb{C}\to Eξ:C→E be continuous with compact support K=tsupport⁡ξ⊆UK=\operatorname{tsupport}\xi\subseteq UK=tsupportξ⊆U, and suppose ξ\xiξ has weak partial derivatives ξs,ξt\xi_s,\xi_tξs​,ξt​ on UUU with ξs,ξt∈Lp(U)\xi_s,\xi_t\in L^p(U)ξs​,ξt​∈Lp(U). Then:

  1. the maps 1Kξs\mathbf 1_K\xi_s1K​ξs​ and 1Kξt\mathbf 1_K\xi_t1K​ξt​ (equal to ξs\xi_sξs​, ξt\xi_tξt​ on KKK and to 000 elsewhere) are weak partial derivatives of ξ\xiξ on all of C\mathbb{C}C;
  2. ξs=1Kξs\xi_s=\mathbf 1_K\xi_sξs​=1K​ξs​ and ξt=1Kξt\xi_t=\mathbf 1_K\xi_tξt​=1K​ξt​ almost everywhere on UUU; equivalently, ξs\xi_sξs​ and ξt\xi_tξt​ vanish almost everywhere on U∖KU\setminus KU∖K.

This lets a compactly supported W1,pW^{1,p}W1,p map on an open set be treated as a W1,pW^{1,p}W1,p map on the whole plane.

Formalization Note Weak partial derivatives are HasWeakPartialsOn, tested against real C∞C^\inftyC∞ functions with compact support in the given open set; ∂s\partial_s∂s​ is the derivative in direction 111 and ∂t\partial_t∂t​ in direction iii. ppp is an ENNReal; Lp(U)L^p(U)Lp(U) membership is MemLp for Lebesgue measure restricted to UUU. The support KKK is the closed support tsupport ξ, and 1Kf\mathbf 1_K f1K​f is (tsupport ξ).indicator f.

/-- A map with compact support `K ⊆ U` whose weak partials on the open set `U` lie in `L^p(U)`
(`1 ≤ p`) has, on all of `ℂ`, the weak partials obtained by restricting them to `K` and extending
by zero; moreover the given partials vanish almost everywhere on `U \ K`. -/

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
