Zero-data weak energy identity #
The finite Fourier energy balances pass to the weak path using strong spacetime L²
convergence of both the scalar and gradient cutoffs. The resulting identity is the input for
uniqueness under a bounded drift.
A weak solution satisfies the full weak energy identity at every time. The drift term
is kept signed; boundedness of the drift is used only to justify the spacetime L² pairing
passage.
The zero-datum energy identity is the corresponding specialization of the full identity.
The zero-data energy identity and the pointwise drift bound imply the parabolic energy inequality, with the diffusion term absorbed by Young's inequality.
The exact weak energy identity makes the squared L² norm path continuous on the closed
time interval. The weak-test continuity in the class is the endpoint input to the Fourier
energy identity.
Clamp time to the closed unit interval in the zero-initial-data energy argument.

A bounded drift cannot support a nonzero zero-data weak solution.
