The forced energy inequality in the limit #
These are the energy steps in the proof of thm:leray-forced. The energy
inequality eq:reg-energy-forced of each forced regularized solution is put in
real form; the work term converges by strong L² convergence, the kinetic
energy and the dissipation are weakly lower semicontinuous, and the limit
satisfies the forced energy inequality (FLH2). Its small-time form and weak
continuity at 0 give the strong initial trace (LH5).
The square of the L² norm of a Euclidean field is the sum of its
coordinate square integrals.
The dissipation of a field with a square-integrable weak gradient on the
slab (0,t) is the sum of the coordinate square integrals.
The energy inequality eq:reg-energy-forced of a forced regularized
solution at a positive time, in real form, with the mollified datum bounded
by the datum.
Weak lower semicontinuity of the kinetic energy and the dissipation: if the approximating energies are bounded by convergent real numbers, the limit energy is bounded by their limit.
The real forced energy inequality gives the energy clause (FLH2) at a positive time.
The strong initial trace (LH5) from weak continuity at 0 and an energy
bound whose excess over the initial energy vanishes as t ↓ 0.
The work pairings converge under strong L² convergence of the
velocities; the approximations are square integrable from some index on.
