Auxiliary facts for concatenating Leray–Hopf solutions #
Time splitting of almost-everywhere statements and slab integrals, and the
continuity of the weak pairing of a strongly L²-continuous field
(lem:lps-continuation).
The open interval (a, c) is the union of (a, b) and (b, c) up to a null set.
An almost-everywhere statement on two adjacent time intervals holds almost everywhere on their union.
The restrictions to the slabs (a, b) and (b, c) add up to the restriction to
(a, c).
Lower integrals over adjacent slabs add.
A field with finite integral of the square of its norm and a.e. strongly measurable is square integrable.
The weak pairing of a family that is strongly L²-continuous on an interval is
continuous on it.
The energy equality of a strong solution between its initial time and any later
time, in the extended-real form of the Leray–Hopf energy inequality
(prop:lps-local-strong).
Approximate continuity of the pairing with a test field at the right end of an
interval, for a weakly continuous family with a uniform almost-everywhere L²
bound.
