Potential decay foundations #
Newtonian-potential identities and component formulas for the Helmholtz potentials.
A first spatial derivative is bounded by the first iterated derivative.
A second spatial derivative is bounded by the second iterated derivative.
A third spatial derivative is bounded by the third iterated derivative.
The Newtonian Helmholtz potentials vanish on every time slice outside the compact time support of the test field.
Both Helmholtz potentials have the compact time support required in
lem:riesz-duality and in the solenoidal cutoff argument.
A compact smooth source has a finite absolute integral on each time slice.
Negation commutes with the Newtonian potential in lem:helmholtz-test.
A spatial partial derivative distributes over a finite coordinate sum, used to express the scalar and vector Helmholtz potentials componentwise.
The scalar Helmholtz potential is the sum of the differentiated Newtonian potentials.
The scalar Helmholtz potential gradient is a sum of second derivatives.
The scalar Helmholtz potential Hessian is a sum of third derivatives.
