The critical L⁵ bound for smooth heat data #
For smooth compactly supported data the regularized profile
g_η = (|h|² + η²)^{3/4} - η^{3/2} satisfies, by the entropy identity,
sup_t ‖g_η(t)‖₂² + ∫∫ |∇g_η|² ≤ C ∫ E_η(b). The Gagliardo–Nirenberg
inequality eq:gn-ten-thirds of the CKN manuscript at each time then bounds ∫∫ g_η^{10/3}, and
Fatou's lemma as η → 0 gives the estimate eq:pv-heat-l5 of
lem:pv-heat-critical for smooth compact data.
The Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality eq:gn-ten-thirds of the CKN manuscript in power form for a
whole-space H¹ function.
The regularized critical profile is nonnegative.
One time slice of the regularized profile: the Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality combined with the entropy bound and the pointwise gradient bound.
The space-time L^{10/3} integral of the regularized profile over
ℝ³ × (0, τ) is bounded by its initial entropy, uniformly in τ.
The cubic Euclidean integral of smooth compact data is bounded by the cube
of its L³ norm, up to the norm-comparison constant.
Fatou's lemma as the regularization vanishes: the space-time quintic integral of a smooth compact heat orbit is bounded by the limit of the regularized bounds.
The critical estimate eq:pv-heat-l5 for smooth compact data:
‖S(·)b‖_{L⁵(Q_τ)} ≤ C‖b‖₃ with C independent of τ.
