Products of whole-space Sobolev families of mixed order #

The product of a function in H²(ℝ³) and a function in H¹(ℝ³) lies in H¹(ℝ³), its first-order weak derivatives are given by the Leibniz family of the two factors, and ‖fg‖²_{H¹} ≤ C ‖f‖²_{H²} ‖g‖²_{H¹}. This is the mixed-order form of the whole-space algebra inequality used in prop:lps-smoothing.

The undifferentiated factor f is essentially bounded by the embedding H²(ℝ³) → L^∞. The remaining Leibniz term ∂_j f · g pairs two functions of H¹(ℝ³); each lies in L⁴(ℝ³) by the whole-space Sobolev inequality and interpolation between L² and L⁶, and Hölder's inequality bounds the product in L². The weak Leibniz rule follows by approximating f in H² by smooth compactly supported functions.

prop:lps-smoothing (the whole-space algebra inequality of mixed order): the product of a function in H²(ℝ³) and a function in H¹(ℝ³) lies in H¹(ℝ³), its first-order weak derivatives are the Leibniz family of the two factors' families, and ‖fg‖²_{H¹} ≤ C ‖f‖²_{H²} ‖g‖²_{H¹}.
