Homogeneity and finiteness of the normalized norms on a test field #
The dual norms ‖·‖_{H^{-s}(V)} and ‖·‖_{H_underlined^{-1}(V)} of
e.physical.negative.norm are suprema over the admissible tests, that is over
the smooth compactly supported fields of unit normalized norm. For that index
family to be nontrivial one needs two things about the
normalized norms themselves: they are homogeneous of degree two under scalar
multiplication, so a nonzero test of finite nonzero norm can be rescaled to unit
norm; and they are finite on every test field over a bounded domain.
This module supplies both. Homogeneity is a direct computation, once the
ℝ≥0∞-valued volume average is seen to commute with multiplication by a finite
constant. Finiteness has three pieces:
- the
L²term is bounded because a smooth compactly supported field is uniformly bounded and the domain has finite volume; - the gradient term is bounded because the derivative is uniformly bounded, each coordinate of the derivative being controlled by the operator norm;
- the fractional term is bounded by the uniform kernel bound, the field being globally Lipschitz and every point of a bounded domain seeing the whole domain inside one ball of a fixed radius.
The fractional term is where the constraint s < 1 enters, through the
requirement 2 - (d + 2s) > -d on the kernel exponent.
