Does such a test function exist?

$begingroup$


Is there a nonnegative test function $phi$ in $mathbb{R}^{n}$ such that





  1. $Deltaphi(x/n)toDeltaphi(0) $ uniformly on bounded sets, as $ntoinfty$ ($Delta$ is the laplacian)


  2. $Deltaphi(0) $ is not zero?

    lulu. Sorry! Bernard. Thanks for correction. gty98b. This is a smooth function with compact support.

    Any test function with $Delta phi(0)ne 0$ is an example (PS: you are using $n$ in different ways)
