The Gagliardo kernel is uniformly integrable on balls #
The fractional seminorm of e.physical.fractional.norm is a double
integral whose inner integrand is
|ψ(x) - ψ(y)|² / |x - y|^{d + 2s}.
For a Lipschitz field the numerator is O(‖x - y‖²), so the integrand is
dominated by the Riesz-type kernel ‖x - y‖^{2 - (d + 2s)} with exponent
e = 2 - (d + 2s) > -d exactly when s < 1. This module supplies the two
ingredients of that reduction:
- a bound on
∫ ‖x - y‖^e dyover the ball of radiusDcentred atxthat is independent of the centre and finite for everye > -d; - the pointwise domination of the Gagliardo integrand by that kernel.
The integral bound is proved by a dyadic decomposition into the shells
2^{-k-1} ≤ ‖x - y‖ < 2^{-k}, on each of which the integrand is bounded by its
value on the inner sphere and the shell is contained in a ball of known volume.
The resulting series is geometric with ratio 2^{-(e + d)} < 1. No
polar-coordinate machinery is used, and every bound is centre-independent
because the ambient balls all have the same volume.
