By multiplication of a distribution by a smooth function, for every test function ,
Hence .
The distributional derivative of the Heaviside step function is . The Leibniz rule and therefore give
Applying the distributional Leibniz rule twice gives
Eliminating the middle term proves
Choose with . Parts i and ii and the identity just proved, with and , yield
Thus explicit continuous functions of compact support are
