The axis quotient, its integral representation, and the three-term selection #
This file publishes the representation of the radial quotient u_r / r on the meridional
plane as an average of ∂_r u_r along the segment from the axis (the paragraph after
eq:aniso:circulation:pde), together with the pointwise bounds this representation gives
on that segment, and the reflection-symmetric three-term selection used when
MeridionalSmallness fails (the paragraph after eq:aniso:zoom:selected).
Smoothness and differentiability of an axial slice, at a general component #
The meridional segment through the axis #
The integral representation of the radial quotient #
The manuscript's u_r/r, extended across the axis, is the average of the radial
derivative ∂_r u_r along the segment from the axis to (x₁, x₃) (the paragraph after
eq:aniso:circulation:pde). Public form of the radialQuotient_eq_integral.
Bound 1: the radial quotient on a segment through the axis #
|u_r/r| ≤ M at (x₁, x₃) whenever |∂_r u_r| ≤ M along the segment
{(s x₁, x₃) : s ∈ [0, 1]} from the axis, via the integral representation
radialQuotient_eq_integral (the paragraph after eq:aniso:circulation:pde).
Second partial derivatives along the meridional segment #
Bound 2: ∂_z u_r / x₁ on a segment through the axis #
|∂_z u_r / x₁| ≤ M at (x₁, x₃) with x₁ ≠ 0 whenever |∂_r ∂_z u_r| ≤ M along the
segment from the axis, since ∂_z u_r vanishes on the axis (spatialPartial_two_zero_axis).
Bound 3: ∂_r u_z / x₁ on a segment through the axis #
|∂_r u_z / x₁| ≤ M at (x₁, x₃) with x₁ ≠ 0 whenever |∂_r ∂_r u_z| ≤ M along the
segment from the axis, since ∂_r u_z vanishes on the axis (spatialPartial_zero_two_axis).
Parity of the derivative fields under the meridional reflection #
Each summand of meridionalQuantity is invariant under the reflection x₁ ↦ -x₁ of the
meridional plane, so the quantity itself is even: ∂_r u_r and ∂_z u_z are even, u_r/r is
even, and ∂_z u_r is odd (so |∂_z u_r| is even).
(-t)^h → 0 for a general positive exponent #
(-t)^h → 0 as t ↑ 0, for any positive real exponent h. Unlike
tendsto_zoom_lengths, whose exponents are the fixed 1/2, 2h and 1 - 2h, this holds
for an arbitrary positive h.
Membership helpers for the reflection #
The three-term selection from a failure of meridional smallness #
If MeridionalSmallness ρ u fails, the first three terms of meridionalQuantity
alone — dropping |∂_z u_r|, which the anisotropic Type II bounds force to zero after
multiplication by -t — still exceed a fixed positive constant along a sequence approaching
the singular time, with the radial coordinate taken nonnegative by the reflection symmetry of
the meridional plane. The selected points lie in vec3Ball 0 ρ and the selected times in
Ioo (-1) 0, the times increase strictly to the singular time, and the inequality holds at
every index: the tail on which it holds is reindexed from the start. This is the selection
used after eq:aniso:zoom:selected.
