Proposition 2.2 Suppose \( f \in {L}^{\infty } \) is supported on a set of finite measure. Then \( f \in {L}^{p} \) for all \( p < \infty \), and\n\n\[ \parallel f{\parallel }_{{L}^{p}} \rightarrow \parallel f{\parallel }_{{L}^{\infty }}\;\text{ as }p \rightarrow \infty . \]
Proof. Let \( E \) be a measurable subset of \( X \) with \( \mu \left( E\right) < \infty \), and so that \( f \) vanishes in the complement of \( E \) . If \( \mu \left( E\right) = 0 \), then \( \parallel f{\parallel }_{{L}^{\infty }} = \) \( \parallel f{\parallel }_{{L}^{p}} = 0 \) and there is nothing to prove. Othe...

Proposition 3.1 A linear functional on a Banach space is continuous, if and only if it is bounded.
Proof. The key is to observe that \( \ell \) is continuous if and only if \( \ell \) is continuous at the origin.\n\nIndeed, if \( \ell \) is continuous, we choose \( \epsilon = 1 \) and \( g = 0 \) in the above definition so that \( \left| {\ell \left( f\right) }\right| \leq 1 \) whenever \( \parallel f\parallel \leq ...

Theorem 3.2 The vector space \( {\mathcal{B}}^{ * } \) is a Banach space.
Proof. It is clear that \( \parallel \cdot \parallel \) defines a norm, so we only check that \( {\mathcal{B}}^{ * } \) is complete. Suppose that \( \left\{ {\ell }_{n}\right\} \) is a Cauchy sequence in \( {\mathcal{B}}^{ * } \) . Then, for each \( f \in \mathcal{B} \), the sequence \( \left\{ {{\ell }_{n}\left( f\rig...

Theorem 4.1 Suppose \( 1 \leq p < \infty \), and \( 1/p + 1/q = 1 \) . Then, with \( \mathcal{B} = \) \( {L}^{p} \) we have\n\n\[{\mathcal{B}}^{ * } = {L}^{q}\]\n\nin the following sense: For every bounded linear functional \( \ell \) on \( {L}^{p} \) there is a unique \( g \in {L}^{q} \) so that\n\n\[ \ell \left( f\ri...
The proof of the theorem is based on two ideas. The first, as already seen, is Hölder's inequality; to which a converse is also needed. The second is the fact that a linear functional \( \ell \) on \( {L}^{p},1 \leq p < \infty \), leads naturally to a (signed) measure \( \nu \) . Because of the continuity of \( \ell \)...

Proof. We start with (i). If \( g = 0 \), there is nothing to prove, so we may assume that \( g \) is not 0 a.e., and hence \( \parallel g{\parallel }_{{L}^{q}} \neq 0 \) . By Hölder’s inequality, we have that\n\n\[ \parallel g{\parallel }_{{L}^{q}} \geq \mathop{\sup }\limits_{{\parallel f{\parallel }_{{L}^{p}} \leq 1}...

Theorem 5.2 Suppose \( {V}_{0} \) is a linear subspace of \( V \), and that we are given a linear functional \( {\ell }_{0} \) on \( {V}_{0} \) that satisfies\n\n\[{\ell }_{0}\left( v\right) \leq p\left( v\right) ,\;\text{ for all }v \in {V}_{0}.\n\]\nThen \( {\ell }_{0} \) can be extended to a linear functional \( \el...
Proof. Suppose \( {V}_{0} \neq V \), and pick \( {v}_{1} \) a vector not in \( {V}_{0} \) . We will first extend \( {\ell }_{0} \) to the subspace \( {V}_{1} \) spanned by \( {V}_{0} \) and \( {v}_{1} \), as we did before. We can do this by defining a putative extension \( {\ell }_{1} \) of \( {\ell }_{0} \), defined o...

Proposition 5.3 Suppose \( {f}_{0} \) is a given element of \( \mathcal{B} \) with \( \begin{Vmatrix}{f}_{0}\end{Vmatrix} = M \) .

Define \( {\ell }_{0} \) on the one-dimensional subspace \( {\left\{ \alpha {f}_{0}\right\} }_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}} \) by \( {\ell }_{0}\left( {\alpha {f}_{0}}\right) = {\alpha M} \), for each \( \alpha \in \mathbb{R} \) .

Then since \( {\begin{Vmatrix}{T}_{0}\left( {f}_{n}\right) - {T}_{0}\left( {f}_{m}\right) \end{Vmatrix}}_{{\mathcal{B}}_{2}} \leq M{\begin{Vmatrix}{f}_{n} - {f}_{m}\end{Vmatrix}}_{{\...

Theorem 5.5 The operator \( {T}^{ * } \) defined by (13) is a bounded linear transformation from \( {\mathcal{B}}_{2}^{ * } \) to \( {\mathcal{B}}_{1}^{ * } \) . Its norm \( \begin{Vmatrix}{T}^{ * }\end{Vmatrix} \) satisfies \( \parallel T\parallel = \begin{Vmatrix}{T}^{ * }\end{Vmatrix} \) .
Proof. First, if \( {\begin{Vmatrix}{f}_{1}\end{Vmatrix}}_{{\mathcal{B}}_{1}} \leq 1 \), we have that\n\n\[ \left| {{\ell }_{1}\left( {f}_{1}\right) }\right| = \left| {{\ell }_{2}\left( {T\left( {f}_{1}\right) }\right) }\right| \leq \begin{Vmatrix}{\ell }_{2}\end{Vmatrix}{\begin{Vmatrix}T\left( {f}_{1}\right) \end{Vmat...

From (i) we see that \( \widehat{m} \) is finitely additive; however it cannot be countably additive as the proof of the existence of non-measurable sets shows. (See Section 3, Chapter 1 in Book III.)

We need only take \( \widehat{m}\left( E\right) = I\left( {\chi }_{E}\right) \), with \( I \) as in Theorem 5.7, where \( {\chi }_{E} \) denotes the characteristic function of \( E \) .

Theorem 7.3 Let \( X \) be a compact metric space and \( C\left( X\right) \) the Banach space of continuous real-valued functions on \( X \) . Then, given any bounded linear functional \( \ell \) on \( C\left( X\right) \), there exists a unique finite signed Borel measure \( \mu \) on \( X \) so that\n\n\[ \ell \left( ...

Corollary 2.4 If \( 1 \leq p \leq 2 \) and \( 1/p + 1/q = 1 \), then\n\n\[ \parallel T\left( f\right) {\parallel }_{{L}^{q}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) } \leq \parallel f{\parallel }_{{L}^{p}\left( \left\lbrack {0,{2\pi }}\right\rbrack \right) }.\]
Note that since \( {L}^{2}\left( \left\lbrack {0,{2\pi }}\right\rbrack \right) \subset {L}^{1}\left( \left\lbrack {0,{2\pi }}\right\rbrack \right) \) and \( {L}^{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \subset {L}^{\infty }\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \) we have \( {L}^{2}\left( \left\lbrack {0,{2\pi }}\right\rbrack \right) + {L}^{1}\l...

Corollary 2.5 If \( 1 \leq p \leq 2 \) and \( 1/p + 1/q = 1 \), then\n\n\[{\begin{Vmatrix}{T}^{\prime }\left( \left\{ {a}_{n}\right\} \right) \end{Vmatrix}}_{{L}^{q}\left( \left\lbrack {0,{2\pi }}\right\rbrack \right) } \leq {\begin{Vmatrix}\left\{ {a}_{n}\right\} \end{Vmatrix}}_{{L}^{p}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) }.\]
The proof is parallel to that of the previous corollary. The case \( {p}_{0} = \) \( {q}_{0} = 2 \) is, as has already been mentioned, a consequence of Parseval’s identity, while the case \( {p}_{1} = 1 \) and \( {q}_{1} = \infty \) follows directly from the fact that\n\n\[ \left| {\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = - \infty ...

Fix a \( \psi \in \mathcal{D} \) with \( {\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}\psi \left( x\right) {dx} = 1 \) and set \( {\psi }_{n}\left( x\right) = {n}^{d}\psi \left( {nx}\right) \) .

Proposition 1.3 Suppose \( F \) is a distribution whose support is \( {C}_{1} \), and \( \psi \) is in \( \mathcal{D} \) and has support \( {C}_{2} \) . Then the support of \( F * \psi \) is contained in \( {C}_{1} + {C}_{2} \)
Indeed for each \( x \) for which \( F\left( {\psi }_{x}^{ \sim }\right) \neq 0 \), we must have that the support of \( F \) intersects the support of \( {\psi }_{x}^{ \sim } \) . Since the support of \( {\psi }_{x}^{ \sim } \) is the set \( x - \) \( {C}_{2} \) this means that the set \( {C}_{1} \) and \( x - {C}_{2} ...

Proof. The fact that \( F\left( {\psi }_{x}^{ \sim }\right) \) is slowly increasing follows from the proposition in Section 1.4 together with the observation that for any function \( \psi \in \mathcal{D} \) and \( N,{\begin{Vmatrix}{\psi }_{x}^{ \sim }\end{Vmatrix}}_{N} \leq c{\left( 1 + \left| x\right| \right) }^{N}\p...

To prove that \( {K}^{ \land } \) agrees with a \( {C}^{\infty } \) function away from the origin, we decompose \( K = {K}_{0} + {K}_{1} \), with \( {K}_{0} \) supported near the origin and \( {K}_{1} \) ...

Lemma 2.6 Suppose \( {\lambda }_{1},{\lambda }_{2},\ldots ,{\lambda }_{n} \), are distinct real numbers and that for constants \( {a}_{j} \) and \( {b}_{j},1 \leq j \leq n \), we have\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{j = 1}}^{n}\left( {{a}_{j}{x}^{{\lambda }_{j}} + {b}_{j}{x}^{{\lambda }_{j}}\log x}\right) = 0\;\text{ for...
To prove the lemma we assume, as one may, that \( {\lambda }_{n} \) is the largest of the \( {\lambda }_{j} \) ’s. Then multiplying the identity by \( {x}^{-{\lambda }_{n}} \) and letting \( x \) tend to infinity we see that \( {b}_{n} \) as well as \( {a}_{n} \) must vanish. Thus we are reduced to the case when \( n \...

Corollary 2.7 There is no distribution \( {K}_{0} \) that is homogeneous of degree \( - d \) and that agrees with the function \( 1/{\left| x\right| }^{d} \) away from the origin.
If such a \( {K}_{0} \) existed, then \( {K}_{0} - \left\lbrack \frac{1}{{\left| x\right| }^{d}}\right\rbrack \) would be supported at the origin, and hence equal to \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{\left| \alpha \right| \leq M}}{c}_{\alpha }{\partial }_{x}^{\alpha }\delta \) . Applying this difference to \( {\varphi }^{a} \...

Theorem 2.8 For \( d \geq 3 \), the locally integrable function \( F \) defined by \( F\left( x\right) = {C}_{d}{\left| x\right| }^{-d + 2} \) is a fundamental solution for the operator \( \bigtriangleup \), with \( {C}_{d} = - \frac{\Gamma \left( {\frac{d}{2} - 1}\right) }{4{\pi }^{\frac{d}{2}}}. \)
This follows by taking \( \lambda = - d + 2 \) (in Theorem 2.3), then \( \Gamma \left( \frac{d + \lambda }{2}\right) = \) \( \Gamma \left( 1\right) = 1 \), while \( \Gamma \left( {d/2}\right) = \left( {d/2 - 1}\right) \Gamma \left( {d/2 - 1}\right) \) .

Corollary 1.2 In a complete metric space, a generic set is dense.
To prove the corollary, we argue by contradiction and assume that \( E \subset X \) is generic but not dense. Then there exists a closed ball \( \bar{B} \) entirely contained in \( {E}^{c} \) .

Proof. We first note that \( T \) is clearly linear, and also continuous with \( \parallel T\left( f\right) {\parallel }_{\infty } \leq \parallel f{\parallel }_{{L}^{1}} \) .

If \( \mathcal{O} \) is an open set in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{dk} \), then clearly\n\n\[ \left\{ {\mathrm{p} \in \mathcal{P} : \left( {\mathrm{p}\left( {t}_{1}\right) ,\mathrm{p}\left( {t}_{2}\right) ,\ldots ,\mathrm{p}\left( {t}_{k}\right) }\right) \in \mathcal{O}}\right\} \]\n\nis open in \( \mathcal{P} \), and henc...

Corollary 2.3 Suppose the sequence of probability measures \( \left\{ {\mu }_{N}\right\} \) is tight, and for each \( 0 \leq {t}_{1} \leq {t}_{2} \leq \cdots \leq {t}_{k} \) the measures \( {\mu }_{N}^{\left( {t}_{1},\ldots ,{t}_{k}\right) } \) converge weakly to a measure \( {\mu }_{{t}_{1},\ldots ,{t}_{k}} \), as \( ...
Proof. First, by Lemma 2.2, there is a subsequence \( \left\{ {\mu }_{{N}_{m}}\right\} \) that converges weakly to a measure \( \mu \) . Next, \( {\mu }_{{N}_{m}}^{\left( {t}_{1},\ldots ,{t}_{k}\right) } \rightarrow {\mu }^{\left( {t}_{1},\ldots ,{t}_{k}\right) } \) weakly. In fact, if \( {\pi }^{{t}_{1},{t}_{2},\ldots...

Lemma 2.4 A closed set \( K \subset \mathcal{P} \) is compact if for each positive \( T \) there is a positive bounded function \( h \mapsto {w}_{T}\left( h\right) \), defined for \( h \in (0,1\rbrack \) with \( {w}_{T}\left( h\right) \rightarrow 0 \) as \( h \rightarrow 0 \), and so that\n\n(7)\n\n\[ \mathop{\sup }\li...
The condition (7) implies that the functions on \( K \) are equicontinuous on each interval \( \left\lbrack {0, T}\right\rbrack \) . The lemma then essentially follows from the Arzela-Ascoli criterion. (Recall, this criterion was used in a special setting in Section 3, Chapter 8 of Book II.)

Lemma 3.2 We have as \( \lambda \rightarrow \infty \) ,\n\n\[ \mathop{\sup }\limits_{{n \geq 1}}m\left( \left\{ {x : \mathop{\sup }\limits_{{k \leq n}}\left| {{s}_{k}\left( x\right) }\right| > \lambda {n}^{1/2}}\right\} \right) = O\left( {\lambda }^{-p}\right) \]\n\nfor every \( p \geq 2 \) .
To prove the lemma we apply the martingale maximal theorem of the previous chapter (Theorem 2.10, in the form that it takes in Exercise 29, part (b)) to the stopped sequence \( \left\{ {s}_{k}^{\prime }\right\} \) defined as \( {s}_{k}^{\prime } = {s}_{k} \) if \( k \leq n,{s}_{k}^{\prime } = \) \( {s}_{n} \) if \( k \...

Theorem 4.1 The following are also Brownian motion processes:\n\n(a) \( {\delta }^{-1/2}{B}_{t\delta } \) for every fixed \( \delta > 0 \) .\n\n(b) \( \mathfrak{o}\left( {B}_{t}\right) \) whenever \( \mathfrak{o} \) is an orthogonal linear transformation on \( {\mathbb{R}}^{d} \) .\n\n(c) \( {B}_{t + {\sigma }_{0}} - {...
We need only check that these new processes satisfy the conditions B-1, B-2, and B-3 defining Brownian motion. Thus the assertion (a) of the theorem is clear once we observe that for any function \( f \), the covariance matrix of \( {\delta }^{-1/2}f \) is \( {\delta }^{-1} \) times the covariance matrix of \( f \) . T...

Theorem 4.2 With \( W \) the Wiener measure on \( \mathcal{P} \) we have:\n\n(a) If \( 0 < a < 1/2 \) and \( T > 0 \), then, with respect to \( W \) almost every path \( \mathrm{p} \) satisfies\n\n\[ \mathop{\sup }\limits_{{0 \leq t \leq T,0 < h \leq 1}}\frac{\left| \mathrm{p}\left( t + h\right) - \mathrm{p}\left( t\ri...
The first conclusion is implicit in our construction of Brownian motion. Indeed, suppose \( {K}^{\left( T\right) } \) is the set arising in the proof of Theorem 3.1. Then we have seen that \( {\mu }_{N}\left( {K}^{\left( T\right) }\right) \geq 1 - \epsilon \) for every \( N \) . Thus the same holds for the weak limit o...

Lemma 5.2 \( {\mathcal{A}}_{0 + } = {\mathcal{A}}_{0} \) .
Proof of the lemma. Fix a bounded continuous function \( f \) on \( {\mathbb{R}}^{kd} \), and a sequence \( 0 \leq {t}_{1} < {t}_{2} < \cdots < {t}_{k} \) . For any \( \delta > 0 \), set\n\n\[ \n{f}_{\delta } = f\left( {{B}_{{t}_{1} + \delta } - {B}_{\delta },{B}_{{t}_{2} + \delta } - {B}_{{t}_{1} + \delta },\ldots ,{B...

Theorem 5.3 Suppose \( {B}_{t} \) is a Brownian motion and \( \sigma \) is a stopping time. Then the process \( {B}_{t}^{ * } \), defined by\n\n\[ \n{B}_{t}^{ * }\left( \omega \right) = {B}_{t + \sigma \left( \omega \right) }\left( \omega \right) - {B}_{\sigma \left( \omega \right) }\left( \omega \right) \n\]\n\nis als...
Proof. We have already noted that if \( \sigma \left( \omega \right) \) is a constant, \( \sigma \left( \omega \right) = \) \( {\sigma }_{0} \), then \( {B}_{t + {\sigma }_{0}} - {B}_{{\sigma }_{0}} \) is a Brownian motion (see Theorem 4.1), so the assertion in the theorem holds in this case.\n\nNext assume that \( \si...

Proposition 6.2 Suppose \( x \in \partial \mathcal{R} \) and \( x + \Gamma \) is disjoint from \( \mathcal{R} \), for some truncated cone \( \Gamma \) . Then \( x \) is a regular point.
Proof. We assume \( x = 0 \), and consider the set \( A \) of Brownian paths starting at the origin that enter \( \Gamma \) for an infinite sequence of times tending to zero. Let \( {A}_{n} = \mathop{\bigcup }\limits_{{{r}_{k} < 1/n}}\left\{ {\omega : {B}_{{r}_{k}}\left( \omega \right) \in \Gamma }\right\} \) where \( ...

Corollary 6.3 Suppose the bounded open set \( \mathcal{R} \) satisfies the outside cone condition. Assume \( f \) is a given continuous function on \( \partial \mathcal{R} \). Then there is a unique function \( u \) that is continuous in \( \overline{\mathcal{R}} \), harmonic in \( \mathcal{R} \), and such that \( {\le...
Proof. Theorem 6.1 and Proposition 6.2 show that \( u \) is continuous in \( \overline{\mathcal{R}} \) and \( {\left. u\right| }_{\partial \mathcal{R}} = f \). The uniqueness is a consequence of the well-known maximum principle. \( {}^{9} \)

Proposition 1.2 Suppose \( f \) and \( g \) are a pair of holomorphic functions in a region \( {}^{1}\Omega \), and \( f \) and \( g \) agree in a neighborhood of a point \( {z}^{0} \in \Omega \) . Then \( f \) and \( g \) agree throughout \( \Omega \) .
Proof. We may assume that \( g = 0 \) . If we fix any point \( {z}^{\prime } \in \Omega \) , it suffices to prove that \( f\left( {z}^{\prime }\right) = 0 \) . Using the pathwise connectedness of \( \Omega \) we can find a sequence of points \( {z}^{1},\ldots ,{z}^{N} = {z}^{\prime } \) in \( \Omega \) and polydiscs \(...

Theorem 2.1 Suppose \( F \) is holomorphic in \( \Omega = \left\{ {z \in {\mathbb{C}}^{n},\rho < \left| z\right| < 1}\right\} \) , for some fixed \( \rho ,0 < \rho < 1 \) . Then \( F \) can be analytically continued into the ball \( \left\{ {z \in {\mathbb{C}}^{n} : \left| z\right| < 1}\right\} \) .
Proof. Consider the integral\n\n\[ I\left( {{z}_{1},{z}_{2}}\right) = \frac{1}{2\pi i}{\int }_{\left| {\zeta }_{1}\right| = a + \epsilon }\frac{F\left( {{\zeta }_{1},{z}_{2}}\right) }{{\zeta }_{1} - {z}_{1}}d{\zeta }_{1} \]\n\nwhich is well-defined for small positive \( \epsilon \), when \( \left( {{z}_{1},{z}_{2}}\rig...

Lemma 2.2 If the function \( F \) is holomorphic in a region \( \mathcal{O} \) that contains the union \( {K}_{1} \cup {K}_{2} \) then \( F \) extends analytically to an open set \( \widetilde{\mathcal{O}} \) containing the product set\n\n\[ \left\{ {\left( {{z}_{1},{z}_{2}}\right) : \left| {z}_{1}\right| \leq a,{b}_{2...

Then:\n\n(a) \( {ugivenby}\left( 6\right) \) is also continuous and satisfies (5) in the sense of distributions.\n\n(b) If \( f \) is in the class \( {C}^{k}, k \geq 1 \), then so is \( u \), and \( u \) satisfies (5) in the usu...

Note first that\n\n\[ u\left( {z + h}\right) - u\left( z\right) = \frac{1}{\pi }{\int }_{{\mathbb{C}}^{1}}f\left( {z + h - \zeta }\right) - f\left( {z - \zeta }\right) \frac{d\zeta }{\zeta }, \]\n\nand that this tends to zero as \( h \rightarrow 0 \), by the uniform continuity of \( f \) and the fact that the fu...

Proposition 3.2 Suppose \( n \geq 2 \) . If \( {f}_{j},1 \leq j \leq n \), are functions of class \( {C}^{k} \) of compact support that satisfy (7), then there exists a function \( u \) of class \( {C}^{k} \) and of compact support that satisfies the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equations (4). \( {}^{2} \)
Proof. Write \( z = \left( {{z}^{\prime },{z}_{n}}\right) \), where \( {z}^{\prime } = \left( {{z}_{1},\ldots ,{z}_{n - 1}}\right) \in {\mathbb{C}}^{n - 1} \) and set\n\n(8)\n\n\[ u\left( z\right) = \frac{1}{\pi }{\int }_{{\mathbb{C}}^{1}}{f}_{n}\left( {{z}^{\prime },{z}_{n} - \zeta }\right) \frac{{dm}\left( \zeta \rig...

Theorem 4.1 Assume \( \Omega \) is a bounded region in \( {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \), whose boundary is of class \( {C}^{3} \), and suppose the complement of \( \bar{\Omega } \) is connected. If \( {F}_{0} \) is a function of class \( {C}^{3} \) on \( \partial \Omega \) that satisfies the tangential Cauchy-Riemann equations, ...
The proof of this theorem is in the same spirit as the previous one, but the details are different. The function \( {F}_{0} \) of class \( {C}^{3}\left( {\partial \Omega }\right) \) can, by definition, be thought of as a function of class \( {C}^{3} \) on the whole space. Now \( {F}_{0} \) satisfies the tangential Cauc...

Proposition 5.1 Near any point \( {z}^{0} \in \partial \Omega \) we can introduce holomorphic coordinates \( \left( {{z}_{1},\ldots ,{z}_{n}}\right) \) centered at \( {z}^{0} \) so that\n\n\[ \Omega = \left\{ {\operatorname{Im}\left( {z}_{n}\right) > \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{j = 1}}^{{n - 1}}{\lambda }_{j}{\left| {z}_{j...
Proof of the proposition. As in (10), we see that we can introduce complex coordinates (with an affine complex linear change of variables) so that near \( {z}^{0} \) the set \( \Omega \) is given by\n\n\[ \operatorname{Im}\left( {z}_{n}\right) > \varphi \left( {{z}^{\prime },{x}_{n}}\right) \]\n\nwith \( z = \left( {{z...

Corollary 6.2 Suppose the Levi form, as given by (18), has at least one strictly positive eigenvalue for each \( z \in M \) . Under these circumstances, for every \( {z}^{0} \in M \) there is a ball \( {B}^{\prime } \) centered at \( {z}^{0} \) so that whenever \( F \) is holomorphic in \( {\Omega }_{ - } \) and contin...
The theorem we have just proved tells us that when an eigenvalue of the Levi form is positive, the control of the restriction of a holomorphic function to a small piece of the boundary gives us a corresponding control of the function in an interior region. This is a strong hint that for such boundaries a local version ...

Theorem 7.1 Suppose \( M \subset {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) is a hypersurface of class \( {C}^{2} \) as above.

Proof. We shall first take \( B \) small enough so that in \( B \), the hypersurface \( M \) has been represented by \( M = \left\{ {{y}_{n} = \varphi \left( {{z}^{\prime },{x}_{n}}\right) }\right\} \) where \( {z}^{0} \) corresponds to the origin. Besides \( \varphi \left( {0,0}\right) = 0 \), we can also suppose that...
