Sobolev contraction of normalized convolution #
For a smooth compactly supported kernel of mass one, ordered spatial
derivatives commute with convolution, and each differentiated component
contracts in L². This supplies the scale-independent mollifier step in
eq:lps-Hm-energy.
Ordered derivatives of a smooth L² field commute with a compact
smooth scalar convolution (eq:lps-Hm-energy).
Normalized nonnegative convolution contracts every ordered
spatial derivative in L² (eq:lps-Hm-energy).
Every ordered derivative of a normalized convolution stays in L²
(eq:lps-Hm-energy).
An L² seminorm comparison between real fields compares their
quadratic energy integrals (eq:lps-Hm-energy).
The full ordered integer H^m energy contracts under normalized
nonnegative convolution, with constant one at every order
(eq:lps-Hm-energy).
