The W^{1,∞}-to-Lipschitz bridge on a convex domain #
A function on a bounded open convex domain whose weak partial derivatives are
bounded by B in every coordinate direction has a Lipschitz representative with
constant d * B.
The proof is the classical mollification argument, carried out with the
CoarseGraining convex-domain smoothing operator
Homogenization.convexApproxSmoothRepresentative:
- Replace the weak derivative fields by their truncations, which are bounded by
Beverywhere (Mollification). - Mollify. The mollified function is smooth, its directional derivatives are
the mollifications of the truncated derivative fields up to the harmless
factor
1 - ε, and mollification does not increase the uniform bound. Hence‖D u_ε‖ ≤ d * Bpointwise on the domain, and the mean value inequality on a convex set givesLipschitzOnWith (d * B) u_ε U. - The mollifications converge to
uinL²(U), hence in measure, hence a.e. along a subsequence. A pointwise a.e. limit of uniformly Lipschitz functions is Lipschitz on the full-measure set where the limit exists, andLipschitzOnWith.extend_realturns this into a globally Lipschitz function a.e. equal tou.

Pointwise limits preserve a Lipschitz bound #
A pointwise limit of K-Lipschitz functions on s is K-Lipschitz on s.
Step 2: the mollified function is Lipschitz on the domain #
If the weak partial derivatives of u are bounded by B everywhere, then
every convex-domain mollification of u is d * B-Lipschitz on the domain.
Step 3: from a uniformly Lipschitz L²-approximating sequence #
If u is the L²(U) limit of a sequence of uniformly K-Lipschitz
functions on U, then u agrees a.e. on U with a globally K-Lipschitz
function.
The bridge #
W^{1,∞} implies Lipschitz on a convex domain. If u has weak partial
derivatives g i on the bounded open convex domain U and each g i is
bounded by B almost everywhere, then u agrees a.e. on U with a globally
d * B-Lipschitz function.
Unbundled form of the bridge: the representative is stated through its pointwise oscillation bound, which is the form consumed by the Besov estimates.
