The flux of the time-difference quotients is square integrable #
prop:lps-smoothing: let u be a strong solution, h > 0, v = (u(·, · + h) - u)/h and
Hᵢⱼ = ((uᵢuⱼ)(·, · + h) - uᵢuⱼ)/h = vᵢ uⱼ(·, · + h) + uᵢ vⱼ. If uᵢ(x, t)² ≤ K M(t) for almost
every (x, t) with M integrable in time, then at almost every time
∑ᵢⱼ Hᵢⱼ² ≤ 6K (M(t) + M(t + h)) |v|² pointwise, and H is square integrable on the slab over
(t₀, T - h), since the energy ∫ |v(x, t)|² dx is continuous on [t₀, T - h].

bound uᵢ(x, t)² ≤ K M(t) (prop:lps-smoothing).
