For t>0, the support of a distribution satisfies
supp(δt​u)=t−1suppu.
(1)
The duality formula ⟨δt​u,φ⟩=t−n⟨u,φ(⋅/t)⟩ proves one inclusion by transporting test functions; applying the inverse dilation proves the other. For a compact support, the Paley–Wiener–Schwartz theorem gives another proof: δt​u​(ζ)=t−nu(ζ/t) rescales the exponential growth indicator by 1/t.
