mollifiern.

Brit.

/ˈmɒlᵻfʌɪə/, U.S.

/ˈmɑləˌfaɪər/

Forms: 1500s–1600s 1800s– mollifier, 1700s mollifyer.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: mollify v., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < mollify v. + -er suffix¹. Compare French mollifieur (1611 in Cotgrave). Compare earlier mollification n., mollificative n., mollitive n., mollifying n.In sense 2, introduced by K. O. Friedrichs (see quot. 1944 at sense 2).

1. A person who or thing which mollifies.

2. Mathematics. An operator which, applied to a function, removes singularities, discontinuities, etc., to produce a smooth function (esp. one with derivatives of all orders) which approximates the original function to a required degree. Also: a function convolved with the initial function in this operation. Also Friedrichs mollifier.

1944 K. O. Friedrichs in Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 55 132 The main tool for the proof is a certain class of smoothing operators approximating unity, the ‘mollifiers’.

1954 Ann. Math. 60 141 The approximation is accomplished by means of the Friedrichs mollifier.

1971 SIAM Rev. 13 333 If the degree of smoothness requires the continuity of derivatives of all orders,..then operators of the general character of the mollifiers introduced by Friedrichs may be employed.

1994 Math. of Computation 63 135 This is achieved..by convolution with an even mollifier on the scale ε.
