Integration by parts for the regularized H¹ energy #
Whole-space integration by parts for smooth fields with square-integrable
derivatives, used to compare ‖∇U‖², ∫ U Δ U and ‖∇²U‖² in the
differentiated energy identity (prop:lps-local-strong).
Whole-space pairing of a smooth field with the Laplacian of another moves both derivatives: ∫ f Δg = -∑ⱼ ∫ ∂ⱼf ∂ⱼg (prop:lps-local-strong).
For a smooth field with square-integrable derivatives through order three, ‖Δg‖₂² = ‖∇²g‖₂²
(prop:lps-local-strong).
For smooth fields with square-integrable derivatives through order two, the change of the
squared gradient norm is the pairing of the increment against minus the Laplacian of the sum
(prop:lps-local-strong).
The Laplacian is the sum of the diagonal second ordered derivatives.
The Laplacian of a smooth function is smooth.
A derivative of the Laplacian is the sum of the diagonal third ordered derivatives.
A derivative of the Laplacian of a smooth function with square-integrable derivatives through order three is square integrable.
The componentwise Laplacian of a smooth solenoidal field is solenoidal
(prop:lps-local-strong).
