Calculus of weak spatial derivatives for the vorticity bootstrap #
Differentiating a weak heat equation, the product rule for square-integrable fields with
square-integrable weak derivatives, uniqueness of weak derivatives, almost-everywhere convergent
subsequences and Fatou bounds, and the linearity and locality of backward mollification. These are
the weak-level steps of the bootstrap of thm:vorticity-regularity.
Finitely many L²-convergent sequences have a common subsequence converging almost
everywhere.
Fatou's lemma for nonnegative integrands converging almost everywhere.
Weak derivatives of the same function on an open set agree almost everywhere there.
The product of a square-integrable function with a bounded continuous function is square integrable.
The spatial derivative of a negated smooth function.
The spatial derivative of the heat operator applied to a smooth test is the heat operator applied to the spatial derivative of the test.
Products of an integrable function with a smooth compactly supported function are integrable.
Differentiating a weak heat equation in a spatial direction: if the solution and the source have weak derivatives in that direction, the derivatives solve the weak heat equation with the differentiated source.
The backward kernel balls of the points of a compact set lie in any fixed closed thickening once the radius is small.
