The regularized transport velocity on one time slice #
On each time slice the transport velocity J_ε u of thm:regularised is the
spatial convolution of the velocity slice with the smooth compactly
supported profile. It is therefore smooth, pointwise divergence-free when the
slice is weakly divergence-free, and bounded in L² by the slice. These are
the properties of J_ε u used in the proof of lem:reg-equicontinuity.
The square integral of a real L² function is its squared L² norm.
A coordinate of a square-integrable Euclidean field has square integral at
most the squared L² norm of the field.
The Euclidean representative of a coordinate field in L².
Each coordinate of the mollified field is smooth.
A continuously differentiable field whose weak divergence vanishes against every smooth compactly supported test is pointwise divergence-free.
The mollification of a weakly divergence-free L² field is pointwise
divergence-free.
The coordinates of the mollified field are square integrable, with
square integral bounded by the squared L² norm of the field.
