For each the map is as a -valued function of . Writing

one has , and if then

for coefficients depending smoothly on . Moreover is linear, and every constant-coefficient relation in implies .

Proof. Smoothness of the projections. The map is into (chain rule; compact supports remain in a fixed large ball for in any compact subinterval of ). Hence is into invertible matrices (unitriangular with smooth entries), is into , and is as a map into continuous operators on .

{Differentiability of .} On , formula (eq:L-RLmu-formula) gives . The right side is in for each test , so is in the weak topology of ; the distributional derivative exists and is given by differentiating under the pairing. Linearity in is immediate from (eq:L-RLmu-formula).

Contact expansion. Differentiate (eq:L-scale-diff) in at fixed , or compare by Theorem thm:Lscale with reference : the difference quotient is a combination of with , and the limit retains that form, yielding (eq:L-Amu-exp). Support at is immediate.

Coherence. If as an element of , then of that element vanishes for every (linearity), so its -derivative vanishes on it.
