The L³ contraction of the regularized transport velocity #
The transport velocity J_ε u of thm:regularised is, on each time slice,
the convolution of the slice with the normalized dilate of the regularizing
profile, written in coordinates. Convolution with a nonnegative kernel of unit
mass is contractive in every finite Lebesgue norm, slice by slice; integrating
in time gives the space-time contraction used for the L³ assertion of
prop:leray-limit.
The regularizing kernel in coordinates is a nonnegative, continuous, compactly supported kernel of unit mass supported in the ball of radius ε.
On each time slice, the regularized transport velocity is the coordinate convolution of the slice with the regularizing kernel.
Convolution with the coordinate regularizing kernel is dominated pointwise by the convolution of the norm.
On each time slice, the regularized transport velocity has finite-exponent Lebesgue norm at most that of the slice itself.
The regularized transport velocity of a measurable space-time field is strongly measurable.
Integrating the per-time contraction over a time slab gives the
space-time L³ contraction of the regularized transport velocity.
