Continuous partition of unity #
In this file we define PartitionOfUnity (ι X : Type*) [TopologicalSpace X] (s : Set X := univ)
to be a continuous partition of unity on s
indexed by ι
. More precisely,
f : PartitionOfUnity ι X s
is a collection of continuous functions f i : C(X, ℝ)
, i : ι
,
such that
- the supports of
f i
form a locally finite family of sets; - each
f i
is nonnegative; ∑ᶠ i, f i x = 1
for allx ∈ s
;∑ᶠ i, f i x ≤ 1
for allx : X
.
In the case s = univ
the last assumption follows from the previous one but it is convenient to
have this assumption in the case s ≠ univ
.
We also define a bump function covering,
BumpCovering (ι X : Type*) [TopologicalSpace X] (s : Set X := univ)
, to be a collection of
functions f i : C(X, ℝ)
, i : ι
, such that
- the supports of
f i
form a locally finite family of sets; - each
f i
is nonnegative; - for each
x ∈ s
there existsi : ι
such thatf i y = 1
in a neighborhood ofx
.
The term is motivated by the smooth case.
If f
is a bump function covering indexed by a linearly ordered type, then
g i x = f i x * ∏ᶠ j < i, (1 - f j x)
is a partition of unity, see
BumpCovering.toPartitionOfUnity
. Note that only finitely many terms 1 - f j x
are not equal
to one, so this product is well-defined.
Note that g i x = ∏ᶠ j ≤ i, (1 - f j x) - ∏ᶠ j < i, (1 - f j x)
, so most terms in the sum
∑ᶠ i, g i x
cancel, and we get ∑ᶠ i, g i x = 1 - ∏ᶠ i, (1 - f i x)
, and the latter product
equals zero because one of f i x
is equal to one.
We say that a partition of unity or a bump function covering f
is subordinate to a family of
sets U i
, i : ι
, if the closure of the support of each f i
is included in U i
. We use
Urysohn's Lemma to prove that a locally finite open covering of a normal topological space admits a
subordinate bump function covering (hence, a subordinate partition of unity), see
BumpCovering.exists_isSubordinate_of_locallyFinite
. If X
is a paracompact space, then any
open covering admits a locally finite refinement, hence it admits a subordinate bump function
covering and a subordinate partition of unity, see BumpCovering.exists_isSubordinate
.
We also provide two slightly more general versions of these lemmas,
BumpCovering.exists_isSubordinate_of_locallyFinite_of_prop
and
BumpCovering.exists_isSubordinate_of_prop
, to be used later in the construction of a smooth
partition of unity.
Implementation notes #
Most (if not all) books only define a partition of unity of the whole space. However, quite a few
proofs only deal with f i
such that tsupport (f i)
meets a specific closed subset, and
it is easier to formalize these proofs if we don't have other functions right away.
We use WellOrderingRel j i
instead of j < i
in the definition of
BumpCovering.toPartitionOfUnity
to avoid a [LinearOrder ι]
assumption. While
WellOrderingRel j i
is a well order, not only a strict linear order, we never use this property.

A continuous partition of unity on a set s : Set X
is a collection of continuous functions
f i
such that
- the supports of
f i
form a locally finite family of sets, i.e., for every pointx : X
there exists a neighborhoodU ∋ x
such that all but finitely many functionsf i
are zero onU
; - the functions
f i
are nonnegative; - the sum
∑ᶠ i, f i x
is equal to one for everyx ∈ s
and is less than or equal to one otherwise.
If X
is a normal paracompact space, then PartitionOfUnity.exists_isSubordinate
guarantees
that for every open covering U : Set (Set X)
of s
there exists a partition of unity that is
subordinate to U
.
The collection of continuous functions underlying this partition of unity
- locallyFinite' : LocallyFinite fun (i : ι) => Function.support ⇑(self.toFun i)
the supports of the underlying functions are a locally finite family of sets
- nonneg' : 0 ≤ self.toFun
the functions are non-negative
the functions sum up to one on
s
- sum_le_one' (x : X) : ∑ᶠ (i : ι), (self.toFun i) x ≤ 1
the functions sum up to at most one, globally

A BumpCovering ι X s
is an indexed family of functions f i
, i : ι
, such that
- the supports of
f i
form a locally finite family of sets, i.e., for every pointx : X
there exists a neighborhoodU ∋ x
such that all but finitely many functionsf i
are zero onU
; - for all
i
,x
we have0 ≤ f i x ≤ 1
; - each point
x ∈ s
belongs to the interior of{x | f i x = 1}
for somei
.
One of the main use cases for a BumpCovering
is to define a PartitionOfUnity
, see
BumpCovering.toPartitionOfUnity
, but some proofs can directly use a BumpCovering
instead of
a PartitionOfUnity
.
If X
is a normal paracompact space, then BumpCovering.exists_isSubordinate
guarantees that for
every open covering U : Set (Set X)
of s
there exists a BumpCovering
of s
that is
subordinate to U
.
The collections of continuous functions underlying this bump covering
- locallyFinite' : LocallyFinite fun (i : ι) => Function.support ⇑(self.toFun i)
the supports of the underlying functions are a locally finite family of sets
- nonneg' : 0 ≤ self.toFun
the functions are non-negative
- le_one' : self.toFun ≤ 1
the functions are each at most one
Each point
x ∈ s
belongs to the interior of{x | f i x = 1}

Partition of unity defined by a BumpCovering

properties of the new family of functions before bundling it into a PartitionOfUnity
. Do not use
this definition, use BumpCovering.toPartitionOfUnity
instead.
The partition of unity is given by the formula g i x = f i x * ∏ᶠ j < i, (1 - f j x)
. In other
words, g i x = ∏ᶠ j < i, (1 - f j x) - ∏ᶠ j ≤ i, (1 - f j x)
, so
∑ᶠ i, g i x = 1 - ∏ᶠ j, (1 - f j x)
. If x ∈ s
, then one of f j x
equals one, hence the product
of 1 - f j x
vanishes, and ∑ᶠ i, g i x = 1
.
