Pointwise control of the heat orbit and smooth approximation #
At a fixed positive time the Gaussian kernel lies in every L^q, q ≥ 1, so
Hölder's inequality bounds the heat orbit pointwise by the Lᵖ norm of the
datum. Together with smooth compactly supported approximation in Lᵖ this
gives the approximation step of lem:pv-heat-critical.
At a positive time the Gaussian kernel lies in L^q for every q ≥ 1.
Hölder's inequality for the Gaussian convolution at one point: the
integrand is integrable and the value is bounded by the kernel's L^q norm
times the datum's Lᵖ norm.
The Gaussian convolution is linear on Lᵖ data and Lipschitz for the
Lᵖ norm at each point of positive time.
A vector in Vec3 has the extended norm of one of its components.
The heat orbit is Lipschitz in the datum for the Lᵖ norm, pointwise at
every positive time.
Every Lᵖ function, 1 ≤ p < ∞, is an Lᵖ limit of smooth compactly
supported functions.
