Serrin control of the H¹ norm of a strong solution #
The gradient energy of a strong solution with finite mixed Serrin norm obeys
the Grönwall bound of lem:lps-H1-estimate, with a constant depending only on
the Serrin exponent.
The Laplacian energy of a strong solution is integrable in time.
Serrin control of the H¹ norm in the finite branch (lem:lps-H1-estimate):
for a strong solution on [t₀, t₁] with finite mixed Serrin integral, the
gradient energy plus the integrated Laplacian energy is bounded by the initial
gradient energy times exp (C ∫ ‖u‖ₛ^ℓ), ℓ = 2s/(s-3), with C depending only
on s. The chain-rule identity of the strong class enters as an explicit
hypothesis.
Serrin control of the H¹ norm in the endpoint branch s = ∞
(lem:lps-H1-estimate): the gradient energy plus the integrated Laplacian energy
is bounded by the initial gradient energy times exp (C ∫ ‖u‖∞²) with an
absolute constant C.
