Concrete Example
Consider the function of the variable ℝn defined by
It is easily seen that this function is infinitely differentiable, non analytic with vanishing derivative for |x| = 1. Divide this function by its integral over the whole space to get a function of integral one, which can be used as mollifier as described above: it is also easy to see that defines a positive and symmetric mollifier.

Famous quotes containing the word concrete:
“A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist.... This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“freeways fifty lanes wide
on a concrete continent
spaced with bland billboards
illustrating imbecile illusions of happiness”
—Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
