Fix and a coordinate direction . The fundamental theorem of calculus gives
For sufficiently small , the points lie in a fixed compact set. The continuity of makes it uniformly continuous there, so the right-hand side converges to uniformly in . We may consequently pass the limit through the finite integral:
To prove continuity, if , joint continuity makes uniformly for once the lie in a compact neighbourhood of . Hence . This proves the stated differentiation under the integral sign result and the continuity of every partial derivative.
For fixed , apply the given one-variable identity to the smooth function
The chain rule gives
Therefore
where
Every derivative of the integrand is continuous. Repeated differentiation under the integral sign therefore shows that is smooth. This is the Second-order Hadamard lemma.
Differentiation under the integral sign first gives
On the other hand,
Its integral is zero because vanishes at both endpoints. Hence
Differentiating once more,
For , the preceding identity and give
The equation extends through in its regular limiting form.
Let be the heat kernel for . The symmetry of the Gaussian distribution gives the method-of-images formula
This is the Neumann heat kernel on a half-line. Differentiation under the integral sign shows that for and that . At , the two differentiated kernel terms cancel, so . The Gaussian approximate identity gives as , while the dominated convergence theorem gives continuity up to . Finally , which is stronger than the required exponential bound. Thus satisfies every condition in the displayed boundary-value problem.
Because is integrable on , the Dominated convergence theorem applied to the defining integral proves that is continuous on .
For , the change of variables formula gives
and for the analogous formula is obtained with . On either open half-line the lower endpoint stays away from zero locally, so repeated differentiation under the integral sign proves smoothness. Thus
A reparameterization gradient differentiates an expected value by representing the simulated random variable as a differentiable transformation of parameter-independent noise. For , the identity requires justified differentiation under the integral sign. For a normal distribution, use with drawn from the standard normal distribution.

For real , the integral representation is
Using differentiation under the integral sign twice and then integration by parts shows . The cubic decay makes the integral converge for every real .
