The whole-space entropy identity for the smooth forced heat response #
At each time, integrating by parts in space turns the entropy production
∑_i T_i(Z) ∂_t Z_i of the forced heat response into
-∑_{i,j} ∂_j[T_i(Z)] (∂_j Z_i + g_ij). Combined with the time integration of
entropy_integral_eq_window_integral, this is the identity behind the energy
and critical estimates of lem:pv-stokes.
The spatial derivative of a time slice of a differentiable space-time function is the joint derivative in the corresponding spatial direction.
Chain rule for a map applied to a time slice of a smooth vector field.
Integration by parts on Vec3 for continuously differentiable functions
with (1 + |x|)^{-3} decay together with their derivatives.
At each time, the entropy production of the forced heat response
integrates by parts to -∑_{i,j} ∫ ∂_j[T_i(Z)] (∂_j Z_i + g_ij).
The divergence of a tensor supported in positive times vanishes at nonpositive times.
Pointwise (1 + |x|)^{-6} bounds for the entropy production and the
dissipation integrand of the forced heat response.
The whole-space entropy identity for the forced heat response: for a
convex entropy Φ with gradient T and every t₁ ≥ 0,
∫ Φ(Z(t₁)) = -∫_{Vec3 × (0,t₁]} ∑_{i,j} ∂_j[T_i(Z)] (∂_j Z_i + g_ij).
