Define the Schwartz space, S(Rn), and the space of tempered distributions, S′(Rn), stating what it means for a sequence to converge in each space.
For a Ck function f:Rn→C, and non-negative integers N,k, we say f∈XN,k if
∥f∥N,k:=x∈Rn;∣α∣⩽ksup∣∣∣∣(1+∣x∣2)2NDαf(x)∣∣∣∣<∞
You may assume that XN,k equipped with ∥⋅∥N,k is a Banach space in which S(Rn) is dense.
(a) Show that if u∈S′(Rn) there exist N,k∈Z⩾0 and C>0 such that
∣u[ϕ]∣⩽C∥ϕ∥N,k for all ϕ∈S(Rn)
Deduce that there exists a unique u~∈XN,k′ such that u~[ϕ]=u[ϕ] for all ϕ∈S(Rn).
(b) Recall that v∈S′(Rn) is positive if v[ϕ]⩾0 for all ϕ∈S(Rn) satisfying ϕ⩾0. Show that if v∈S′(Rn) is positive, then there exist M∈Z⩾0 and K>0 such that
∣v[ϕ]∣⩽K∥ϕ∥M,0, for all ϕ∈S(Rn)
[ Hint: Note that ∣ϕ(x)∣⩽∥ϕ∥M,0(1+∣x∣2)−2M⋅]
