Extension of distributions and representations by derivatives of continuous functions (Q676044)

Summary: It is proved that any Banach valued distribution on a bounded set can be extended to all of \(\mathbb{R}^d\) if and only if it is a derivative of a uniformly continuous function. A similar result is given for distributions on an unbounded set. An example shows that this does not extend to Fréchet valued distributions. This relies on the fact that a Banach valued distribution is locally a derivative of a uniformly continuous function. For sake of completeness, a global representation of a Banach valued distribution by derivatives of functions with compact supports is given.
