Local Sobolev Calculus #
Supporting estimates for the Navier–Stokes development.
Appending a final letter to a derivative word applies that derivative last.
A smooth function with square-integrable derivatives gives its classical ordered derivatives as a Sobolev family.
A family through order m + 1 consists of its order-zero family, its
first derivatives, and the shifted families through order m.
A Sobolev family restricts to every lower derivative order.
A Sobolev family restricts to an open subset of its domain.
Sums of Sobolev families are Sobolev families.
Scalar multiples of Sobolev families are Sobolev families.
Replacing a Sobolev family by almost-everywhere equal representatives preserves its properties.
Weak derivative families of one function agree almost everywhere on an open set.
Limits in L² of Sobolev families remain Sobolev families.
The intrinsic Sobolev norm is bounded by the value from any chosen Sobolev family.
The intrinsic Sobolev norm is computed by any representing family on an open set.
A finite Sobolev norm is equivalent to componentwise membership in the Sobolev space.
