The first level of the vorticity bootstrap #
From the starting data on the unit box, the weak local heat gain gives square-integrable first
spatial derivatives of the vorticity, and the weak div–curl recovery gives square-integrable
second spatial derivatives of the velocity, with bounds by the velocity bound and the gradient
energy (the initial energy level and the first velocity level of thm:vorticity-regularity).
The vorticity components of a square-integrable gradient are square integrable.
The vorticity flux of a bounded velocity and a square-integrable gradient.
The pointwise bound of the vorticity and its flux by the gradient.
The heat step of the first level: square-integrable first derivatives of the vorticity
(the initial energy level of thm:vorticity-regularity).
The antisymmetric matrix of square-integrable fields is square integrable.
The div–curl step of the first level: square-integrable second derivatives of the velocity
(the first velocity level of thm:vorticity-regularity).
