Mollifier regularization for contour recovery of support

ID: mollifier-regularization-for-contour-recovery-of-support

For an entire function of polynomial growth and exponential type , multiply it by with a unit-mass mollifier. The product becomes rapidly decreasing in real frequency, so its inverse Fourier transform has an absolutely convergent contour integral. Shifting in a separating direction forces that smooth inverse to vanish outside . Letting tend to zero recovers a distribution supported in .
