Integral of a function with compact support












3












$begingroup$


I am reading a book with the following statement



Since $g$ has compact support $$sum_{i=1}^d int_{mathbb{R}^d} frac{partial (fF_i g)}{x_i} dx = 0$$



where





  1. $frac{dx}{dt} = F(x)$ with $xin mathbb{R}^d$


  2. $g: mathbb{R}^d rightarrow mathbb{R}$ is continuously differentiable with compact support

  3. $f: mathbb{R}^d rightarrow mathbb{R}$


The compact support means that if it is zero outside of a compact set.



How can we say the sum of integral is zero?

    This is the volume integral of divergence of the vector field $fgF$. When it is written as a surface integral over a sufficiently large surface, which is beyond the support of $g$, it vanishes.

The key of the reasoning is that, defined
$$
V(x)=left(
begin{matrix}
fF_1 g\
fF_2 g\
vdots\
fF_{d-1} g\
fF_d g
end{matrix}
right) implies Vtext{ has compact support in }mathbb{R}^d
$$

Since
$$
sum_{i=1}^d intlimits_{mathbb{R}^d} frac{partial (fF_i g)}{x_i} mathrm{d}x = intlimits_{mathbb{R}^d} nablacdot V, mathrm{d}x,
$$

then, by considering a ball $B(0,r)inmathbb{R}^d$ of radius $r>0$, we have that
$$
begin{split}
sum_{i=1}^d intlimits_{mathbb{R}^d} frac{partial (fF_i g)}{x_i} mathrm{d}x & = intlimits_{mathbb{R}^d} nablacdot V, mathrm{d}x\
&triangleqlim_{rtoinfty}intlimits_{B(0,r)} nablacdot V, mathrm{d}x\
&text{ by Gauss-Green}\
&=lim_{rtoinfty}intlimits_{partial B(0,r)} Vcdotnu_x, mathrm{d}sigma_x=0
end{split}
$$

where $nu_x$ is the normal unit vector to $partial B(0,r)$ in the point $xin partial B(0,r)$, since $V$ has compact support $iff$ $Vcdotnu_x=0$ for all $nu_x$ and all $r$ larger than a fixed finite value $r_0>0$.
