The admissible-test family of the dual norms is not empty #
This module checks the definition IsLocalVecTest of an admissible test field:
the class of smooth compactly supported vector fields on a domain over which the
two dual norms negSobolevNorm and negOneNorm of e.physical.negative.norm
take their suprema. Were that check to fail — were the admissible tests of
hsNormSq (respectively h1NormSq) at most 1 to contain only the zero field,
or to be empty — then each of those two suprema would be 0 for a reason that
has nothing to do with the field F it measures, and every estimate written
with them, among them the Dirichlet estimate e.random.dirichlet and the
corrector estimate e.random.corrector of t.random.homogenization, would be
vacuous: satisfied by the absence of anything to estimate. This module is a
consistency check of that definition and is not a result of the paper.
The dual norms ‖F‖_{H^{-s}(V)} and ‖F‖_{H_underlined^{-1}(V)} of
e.physical.negative.norm are suprema over the smooth compactly supported
fields on V whose normalized norm is at most 1. This module shows that this
failure does not occur: over any domain containing a ball, each of the two
families contains a nonzero field.
The witness is a Mathlib smooth bump supported in a ball inside the domain,
pointed along a fixed coordinate direction. It is nonzero because the bump
equals 1 at its centre. Its normalized norm is finite by the finiteness
statements for the normalized norms, so if it is nonzero it can be rescaled to
norm exactly 1 by the quadratic homogeneity, and if it is zero it already
satisfies the constraint.
The hypothesis 0 < d is necessary and is not a convenience: for d = 0 the
only field Vec 0 → Vec 0 is the zero field, so the family really does contain
nothing else and every such supremum vanishes.
A nonzero local test on any nonempty open set #
The headline statements #
The admissible-test family of the H^{-s} dual norm contains a nonzero
field. Only openness, boundedness and nonemptiness of U are used; 0 < d
is necessary, since Vec 0 → Vec 0 has 0 as its only element.
The same statement on a bounded open convex domain.
The admissible-test family of the H_underlined^{-1} dual norm contains a nonzero
field. Only openness, boundedness and nonemptiness of U are used, together
with 0 < d.
