Moving a cutoff across two derivatives #
The mixed-term estimate of lem:aniso:closure controls χ ∇²v, while the elliptic bounds of
eq:aniso:closure:elliptic control ∇²(χ v). This file is the bridge between the two: for a
cutoff χ that is smooth and compactly supported inside an open set U and a field v smooth
on U,
∫ χ² |∇²v|² ≤ 4 ∫ |∇²(χ v)|² + 16 N² ∫ |∇χ|² + 16 N² ∫ |∇²χ|²,
where N bounds the full first-order jet |v|² + |∇v|² of v on the support of ∇χ.
The proof is pointwise plus one monotonicity step. Twice applying the Leibniz rule on U gives
χ ∂_k∂_j v_i = ∂_k∂_j(χ v_i) - (∂_kχ)(∂_j v_i) - (∂_jχ)(∂_k v_i) - (∂_k∂_jχ) v_i,
and (a - b - c - d)² ≤ 4(a² + b² + c² + d²) turns this into a pointwise bound whose three error
terms carry a derivative of χ, hence are supported where the jet bound applies. Off U the
cutoff vanishes, so the left-hand side is zero there and the pointwise bound is trivial.
Only the majorant has to be integrable: the bound is applied through integral_mono_of_nonneg,
whose left-hand function need not be assumed integrable.
Vanishing near a point outside the support #
A function vanishes on a whole neighbourhood of any point outside its support.
Smoothness of the first derivatives #
A coordinate derivative of a component of a field smooth on an open set is smooth there.
A coordinate derivative of a smooth scalar is smooth.
A coordinate derivative of a smooth scalar is continuous.
The Leibniz rule, once and twice #
The pointwise commutator inequality #
Integrability of the majorant #
|∇χ|² is integrable for a smooth compactly supported cutoff.
|∇²χ|² is integrable for a smooth compactly supported cutoff.
The second-order cutoff commutator bound #
The second-order cutoff commutator bound. For a cutoff χ smooth and compactly supported
inside an open set U, a field v smooth on U, and N bounding the first-order jet of v
on the support of ∇χ,
∫ χ² |∇²v|² ≤ 4 ∫ |∇²(χ v)|² + 16 N² ∫ |∇χ|² + 16 N² ∫ |∇²χ|².
This is the second-order counterpart of the first-order commutator step that moves the cutoff
inside one derivative, and it is what lem:aniso:closure needs in order to convert the elliptic
bound on ∇²(χ v) into a bound on χ ∇²v.
The first-order cutoff commutator bound #
The first-order cutoff commutator bound. For a cutoff χ smooth and compactly supported
inside an open set U, a field v smooth on U, and N bounding |v| on the support of ∇χ,
