For , a smooth real weight defines the localized mass . For a sufficiently regular decaying solution and a weight with the required integrability,
and
These formulas follow by substituting the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and integration by parts. The Hessian controls the gradient contribution; the fourth derivative term records variation of the cutoff.
Choose , with near zero and constant outside a larger ball. The interior terms reproduce the virial identity, while the remaining terms are supported in the transition region or controlled by spatial tails. A bounded weight makes meaningful for finite mass without requiring finite variance. A blowup proof still needs estimates that control those tail errors.
