Weakly divergence-free fields annihilate H¹ gradients #
Source: ABK26 (e.sensitivity.basic.split), closure step of the weak
integration by parts.
A vector field t on an open bounded convex carrier U that is coordinatewise
square integrable, supported in a compact subset of U, and weakly divergence
free (it annihilates every smooth compactly supported test gradient) satisfies
∫ t · ∇w = 0 for every w ∈ H¹(U).
The compact interior support substitutes for the vanishing normal trace. The
proof smooths w with CoarseGraining's convex-domain smoothing operator, cuts
off the smooth representative to a test equal to w's smoothing near the
support of t, applies the weak divergence-free hypothesis to the cutoff
product, and passes to the limit in L²(U).
Divergence-free pairing lemma. A coordinatewise L² vector field with
compact support inside an open bounded convex carrier that annihilates every
smooth compactly supported test gradient also annihilates every H¹ gradient.
This is the trace-free mechanism of the weak integration by parts in
e.sensitivity.basic.split.
