Absolute convergence of the weak flux pairing #
The weak interior equation of t.random.homogenization is
read against smooth compactly supported tests, and the printed distributional
display presupposes that each test pairing converges absolutely. That
convergence is derived here rather than assumed: ∇φ is continuous with compact
support, the entries of an almost everywhere uniformly elliptic coefficient
field are essentially bounded, and a field square integrable on the compact set
tsupport φ — which has finite measure whatever V is — pairs with them
absolutely. Off tsupport φ the integrand vanishes identically, so nothing
about V beyond its measurability is used.
The consequence is that the integrability conjunct carried by
IsWeakSolutionOn costs nothing on the coefficient class: for a field of
L²(V) the predicate is equivalent to the bare vanishing of every test pairing.
A local variant, asking square integrability only on the compact subsets of V,
is what applies at V = ℝ^d, where no global L² bound is available.
The coordinate gradient of a smooth function is continuous.
The core convergence lemma. The weak flux pairing of a local test against a field that is square integrable on the test's support is absolutely convergent.
Hypotheses used, in full: V measurable; the entries of b are a.e. strongly
measurable and a.e. bounded; φ is a local test on V; the components of F
are a.e. strongly measurable; and F ∈ L² on tsupport φ only.
The core convergence lemma, with the entry bound on all of ℝ^d.
The weak flux pairing of a local test on V against a field of L²(V) is
absolutely convergent.
The local form. Only square integrability on the compact subsets of V
is needed; this is the form that applies at V = Set.univ, where no global L²
bound is available.
The local form, with the entry bound read on each compact set. This is
the form the whole-space reading takes on the coefficient class, where no entry
bound on all of ℝ^d is available.
The design justification for IsWeakSolutionOn. On the coefficient
class, and for a field of L²(V), the integrability conjunct of
IsWeakSolutionOn costs nothing: the predicate is equivalent to the bare
vanishing of every test pairing.
The essential entry bound of the coefficient class on a compact set, in the form the pairing lemmas take it: the upper constant of the set bounds every entry there.
