Common relative-energy assembly for Leray–Hopf solutions #
Once a branch supplies the cross identity, its explicit relative-convection integrability, and the fixed-time estimate, this theorem combines the distinguished solution's a.e. energy equality with the competitor's Leray–Hopf energy inequality and applies Gronwall.
Multiplication by an integrable time coefficient preserves integrability of the relative slice energy: the two Leray–Hopf slice energies bound that energy uniformly almost everywhere.
Relative-energy and Gronwall conclusion from branch-specific comparison
data. The energy equality remains an explicit hypothesis, supplied by lem:lps-energy-equality;
the cross identity and convection integrability are the outputs of a branch's
cross-testing limit.
The same assembly stated as the comparison inequality before the final Gronwall conclusion.
