Abstract
This paper presents a general definition of pseudo-differential operators of type 1, 1; the definition is shown to be the largest one that is both compatible with negligible operators and stable under vanishing frequency modulation. Elaborating counter-examples of Ching, Hörmander and Parenti-Rodino, type 1, 1-operators with unclosable graphs are proved to exist; others are shown to lack the microlocal property as they flip the wavefront set of an almost nowhere differentiable function. In contrast the definition is shown to imply the pseudo-local property, so type 1, 1-operators cannot create singularities but only change their nature. The familiar rule that the support of the argument is transported by the support of the distribution kernel is generalised to arbitrary type 1, 1-operators. A similar spectral support rule is also proved. As no restrictions appear for classical type 1, 0-operators, this is a new result which in many cases makes it unnecessary to reduce to elementary symbols. As an important tool, a convergent sequence of distributions is said to converge regularly if it moreover converges as smooth functions outside the singular support of the limit. This notion is shown to allow limit processes in extended versions of the formula relating operators and kernels.
