Time continuity of the forced heat response against a test field #
For a tensor G ∈ L^{5/2} supported in ℝ³ × (0, τ) and a smooth compactly
supported test field ψ, the pairing t ↦ ∫ Z(x, t) · ψ(x) dx of the forced
heat response Z = forcedHeat G is defined for every t ∈ [0, τ], continuous
there, and zero at t = 0 (prop:pv-local-solution).
For each t the triple integral of |ψ_i(x)| |∂_jΓ(x - y, t - s)| |G_ij(y, s)|
is finite: the x-integral is at most C (t - s)^{-1/2} (1 + |y|)^{-3}, and
Hölder's inequality with exponents 5/2 and 5/3 closes the bound. Fubini's
theorem then writes the pairing as ∫ ∑ K_ij(y, t - s) G_ij(y, s), where
K_ij = testKernelPairing ψ i j is bounded by C (1 + |y|)^{-3} uniformly in
time and continuous away from t = s; dominated convergence gives continuity.
Time continuity of the forced heat response against a fixed test field
(prop:pv-local-solution): for a tensor G ∈ L^{5/2} supported in
ℝ³ × (0, τ) and a smooth compactly supported test field ψ, the pairing
∫ Z(x, t) · ψ(x) dx of Z = forcedHeat G is defined for every t ∈ [0, τ],
continuous on [0, τ], and zero at t = 0.
