The zero-data forced heat response of a rough tensor #
For a tensor G ∈ L^{5/2}(Q_τ) ∩ L²(Q_τ) vanishing outside the slab
Q_τ = ℝ³ × (0,τ), the forced heat response Z = forcedHeat G (the kernel
formula) has a weak spatial gradient in L²(Q_τ) with the energy bound, and
satisfies the weak componentwise heat equation
∫∫ -Z_i ∂_t φ + ∑_j ∂_j Z_i ∂_j φ + ∑_j G_ij ∂_j φ = 0
against smooth tests compactly supported in the slab. With
forcedHeat_rough_bounds this is the analytic core of lem:pv-stokes.
The weak identities of the rough forced heat response along a smooth
approximation whose spatial gradients converge in L²(Q_τ): for every smooth test
φ compactly supported in Q_τ, ∫ Z_i ∂_j φ = -∫ DZ_ij φ and
∫ -Z_i ∂_t φ + ∑_j DZ_ij ∂_j φ + ∑_j G_ij ∂_j φ = 0 on Q_τ.
The weak spatial gradient and the weak heat equation for the forced heat
response of a tensor in L^{5/2} ∩ L² supported in Q_τ: the gradient lies in
L²(Q_τ) with ‖∇Z‖_{L²(Q_τ)} ≤ C ‖G‖_{L²(Q_τ)}, and for every smooth test φ
compactly supported in Q_τ, ∫ Z_i ∂_j φ = -∫ ∂_j Z_i φ and
∫ -Z_i ∂_t φ + ∑_j ∂_j Z_i ∂_j φ + ∑_j G_ij ∂_j φ = 0 on Q_τ.
The zero-data forced heat estimates for a tensor G ∈ L^{5/2} ∩ L² supported in
Q_τ, with one absolute constant C: the kernel response Z = forcedHeat G lies in
L⁵(Q_τ) ∩ L⁴(Q_τ) with ‖Z‖₅ ≤ C ‖G‖_{5/2} and ‖Z‖₄ ≤ C (‖G‖_{5/2} + ‖G‖₂); for
almost every t ∈ (0,τ), ‖Z(t)‖₃ ≤ C ‖G‖_{5/2} and ‖Z(t)‖₂ ≤ C ‖G‖₂; and Z has a
weak spatial gradient in L²(Q_τ) with ‖∇Z‖₂ ≤ C ‖G‖₂ for which the weak
componentwise heat equation holds against smooth tests compactly supported in
Q_τ. This is the analytic core of lem:pv-stokes.
