depending only on the indicated quantities such that whenever v ∈ Rn with
|v|< dist(spt(φ) ,UC) ,
it follows that ∫Rn
∣∣∣φ̃u(x+v)− φ̃u(x)∣∣∣dx≤C
(φ , ||u||1,1,U
)|v| .
Proof: First suppose u ∈ C∞(U). Then for any x ∈ spt(φ)∪ (spt(φ)−v) ≡ Gv, the
chain rule implies
|φu(x+v)−φu(x)| ≤∫ 1

Therefore, for such u, ∫Rn
∣∣∣φ̃u(x+v)− φ̃u(x)∣∣∣dx

where C is a continuous function of ||u||1,1,U . Now for general u ∈W 1,1 (U) , let uk→ u inW 1,1 (U) where uk ∈C∞
(U). Then for |v|< dist

This proves the lemma.
