expNegInvGlue

ℝ → ℝ

expNegInvGlue is the real function given by x ↦ exp (-1/x) for x > 0 and 0 for x ≤ 0. It is a basic building block to construct smooth partitions of unity. Its main property is that it vanishes for x ≤ 0, it is positive for x > 0, and the junction between the two behaviors is flat enough to retain smoothness. The fact that this function is C^∞ is proved in expNegInvGlue.contDiff.
