The quadratic heat energy for smooth compact data #
For smooth compactly supported data the Gaussian heat orbit satisfies the
energy identity d/dt ∫ |h|² = -2 ∫ |∇h|². Integrating it in time gives the
energy bounds used for the L^{10/3} part of lem:pv-heat-critical.
The quadratic energy of a smooth compact vector heat orbit differentiates
in time with the heat-equation derivative, as used in lem:pv-heat-critical.
Spatial integration by parts identifies the quadratic energy derivative
with minus twice the Dirichlet energy, as used in lem:pv-heat-critical.
The quadratic energy of a smooth compact vector heat orbit converges to its initial value as time decreases to zero.
Time integration of the quadratic energy identity: the energy does not
increase and twice the Dirichlet energy integrated over (0, τ) is bounded by
the initial energy, as used in lem:pv-heat-critical.
