Ch1 Hilbert L² Hodge projection input #
This file proves the Hilbert-space core of the unit Dirichlet Hodge projection estimate. The concrete negative-Besov theorem still needs boundedness of the same projection in the Besov scale; the orthogonality and energy estimate here are unconditional.
A zero-trace potential field has the L² membership supplied by its
H¹₀ primitive.
Zero-trace potential fields are L²-orthogonal to solenoidal fields.
The zero-trace primitive of a Hodge potential component solves the
Dirichlet variational problem with right-hand side -F.
This is the PDE identity behind the unit Hodge projection: if w is
zero-trace potential and w + F is solenoidal, then the primitive of w
tests against every zero-trace gradient as -F.
Unit Dirichlet Hodge projection estimate in the Hilbert L² norm.
If w is the zero-trace potential component and w + F is solenoidal, both
components are controlled by the forcing field F.
