The energy of (q_ε - Ψ_σ)_+ and the Grönwall step of lem:aniso:comparison #
The comparison argument for eq:aniso:comparison:equation tests the mollified equation
eq:aniso:comparison:mollified against the positive part
v_ε = (q_ε - Ψ_σ)_+
of the excess over the linearly growing barrier eq:aniso:comparison:barrier, and follows the
energy
E(τ) = ∫ v_ε(x, τ)² dx.
This module supplies three groups of facts.
Support and integrability. For
τ ≥ τ₀the functionv_ε(·, τ)vanishes wherever‖x‖ ≥ M_∞/σ, so it is a continuous function with compact support andE(τ)is an honest integral overclosedBall 0 (M_∞/σ). At the initial timeE(τ₀) = 0, because the barrier dominatesM ≥ ‖q(·, τ₀)‖_{L^∞}there.The two right-hand terms of
eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy. The drift term∫ (div B) v_ε²is bounded byΛ E(τ)whenever|div B| ≤ Λ, and the commutator term∫ R_ε v_εis bounded by‖R_ε‖_{L²(B_{R_σ})} √(E(τ))by Cauchy–Schwarz, the integral overℝ^mreducing to one overclosedBall 0 (M_∞/σ)by the support statement. The commutator ofeq:aniso:comparison:mollifiedis square integrable on that ball, so the bound is not vacuous.Grönwall in integral form. If a continuous
y ≥ 0satisfiesy(t) ≤ ∫_a^t (Λ y + 2 √y r)on[a, b], theny(t) ≤ (∫_a^b r²) exp((Λ + 1)(b - a))there. The proof absorbs2 √y r ≤ y + r²and then runs the integral-form Grönwall inequalityle_mul_exp_of_le_primitive, which is proved by the fencing theorem applied tot ↦ (c + Λ ∫_a^t y) exp(-Λ(t - a)).
The integrated energy inequality itself — the passage from eq:aniso:comparison:mollified to
eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy — is not proved here; the last statement consumes it as a
hypothesis in exactly the integrated form that the Grönwall step needs.
The excess over the barrier and its energy #
The positive part v_ε = (q_ε - Ψ_σ)_+ of the excess of the mollified slice over the
barrier eq:aniso:comparison:barrier.

Instances For
Outside a closed ball the norm is at least the radius.
Support and integrability #
For τ ≥ τ₀ the excess vanishes off the ball of radius M_∞/σ: this is the statement
that v_ε is compactly supported in x, uniformly on [τ₀, τ₊].
The excess is continuous in the spatial variable: the mollified slice is smooth and the barrier is smooth.
The energy is an integral over the ball of radius M_∞/σ.
The energy vanishes at the initial time, because the barrier dominates the bound M on
the initial slice there.
Elementary inequalities behind the two right-hand terms #
Cauchy–Schwarz in squared form: (∫ f g)² ≤ (∫ f²)(∫ g²).
Cauchy–Schwarz: ∫ f g ≤ ‖f‖_{L²} ‖g‖_{L²}.
A weight bounded by Λ against a square: ∫ w v² ≤ Λ ∫ v².
The two right-hand terms of eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy #
The drift term of eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy: a weight bounded by Λ, such as
div B under eq:aniso:comparison:drift, contributes at most Λ E(τ).
The commutator R_ε of eq:aniso:comparison:mollified is square integrable on every
closed ball: it is a.e. strongly measurable and uniformly bounded, and the ball has finite
measure.
The commutator term of eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy: since v_ε(·, τ) vanishes off
closedBall 0 (M_∞/σ), Cauchy–Schwarz bounds ∫ R_ε v_ε by
‖R_ε‖_{L²(B_{R_σ})} √(E(τ)).
Grönwall in integral form #
Integral-form Grönwall inequality: a continuous y on [a, b] with
y(t) ≤ c + Λ ∫_a^t y obeys y(t) ≤ c exp(Λ (b - a)).
The primitive F(t) = c + Λ ∫_a^t y is continuous on [a, b] and has right derivative
Λ y(t) ≤ Λ F(t) there, so t ↦ F(t) exp(-Λ (t - a)) has nonpositive right derivative and the
fencing theorem image_le_of_deriv_right_le_deriv_boundary bounds it by its value c at a.
The Grönwall step of lem:aniso:comparison, in the form the integrated energy inequality
eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy delivers it: from
y(t) ≤ ∫_a^t (Λ y + 2 √y r) on [a, b] one gets
y(t) ≤ (∫_a^b r²) exp((Λ + 1)(b - a)), so the supremum of y is controlled by the squared
L² norm of r.
The Grönwall conclusion for the energy of eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy: once the
integrated energy inequality is available on [τ₀, τ₊], the energy is bounded there by the
squared L² norm of the commutator times a constant depending only on Λ and τ₊ - τ₀.
