The spatial energy inequality at one time slice #
This is the spatial half of eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy. Fix a time s at which the
slice q(·, s) is measurable and essentially bounded, and the drift slice B(·, s) is bounded,
Lipschitz, with bounded weak divergence. Let w = q_ε(·, s) - Ψ_σ(·, s) be the excess of the
mollified slice over the barrier eq:aniso:comparison:barrier, G the comparison profile and
H the right side of eq:aniso:comparison:mollified. Then
∫ G'(w) (H - ∂_τΨ_σ) ≤ Λ ∫ G(w) + ∫ G'(w) |R_ε|.
The three contributions are those of the manuscript: the barrier is a supersolution, so
H - ∂_τΨ_σ ≤ Δ_X w - B·∇w + R_ε pointwise; the diffusion term ∫ G'(w) Δ_X w = -∫ G''(w)|∇_X w|²
is nonpositive (integration by parts twice, G convex); the transport term
-∫ G'(w) B·∇w = ∫ (div B) G(w) is at most Λ ∫ G(w) by the weak divergence identity applied to
the test function G ∘ w, which is smooth with compact support since w < 0 off a ball.
Chain rule for a scalar function composed with a function on Vec m.
The excess of the mollified slice over the barrier is negative off the ball of radius
Mq / σ, once the slice is bounded by Mq and τ₀ ≤ s.
