A distribution is a continuous linear functional on the space $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}_c$ of smooth (indefinitely differentiable) functions with compact support. Though they appeared in formal computations in the physics and engineering literature in the late $19^{th}$ century, their formal setting was brought up by the work of S. Sobolev and L. Schwartz in the middle of the $20^{th}$ century.

Proof that elements of Beppo-Levi-like spaces are functions (and not just distributions)?

After some more thought, I gave up Meinguet's approach above (based on sums of the form $\sum_j c_j\tau_{x_j}f$) for a more direct approach in order to prove continuity of the elements of $H$. Any fee …

Proof that elements of Beppo-Levi-like spaces are functions (and not just distributions)?

Context. I am trying to undestand the theory underlying "Beppo-Levi"-like spaces defined as $$ H = \left\{f\in {\cal S}'(\mathbb{R}^d) \;\left| \; t\times\widetilde{f} \in {\cal L}^2(\mathbb{R}^d) \ri …
