Averaging toolkit for the arbitrary-gap oscillation estimate #

The arbitrary-gap estimate behind e.nablaw.oscillations is proved by turning a pointwise interior bound for the gradient of a harmonic function into a mean-square bound on a concentric triadic cube. Three purely measure-theoretic steps are needed for that passage, and none of them is available in CoarseGraining:

  1. Cauchy--Schwarz against the constant 1. The interior estimate produces the average of |grad u - c|, while the right-hand side of the target is the normalized L^2 deviation. The elementary inequality (avg_V |f - c|)^2 <= avg_V (f - c)^2 bridges the two. It is proved here from 0 <= int_V (|f - c| - t)^2 with the optimal t, so no L^p duality, Holder machinery or MemLp bookkeeping is used.
  2. Mean recentring. meanSquareOscillationVecOn is the deviation from the volume average, whereas the pointwise bound is naturally centred at a fixed point of the cube. The variance identity int_V (f - c)^2 = int_V (f - avg_V f)^2 + |V| (avg_V f - c)^2 shows that the average is the minimizer, so any centre may be used.
  3. Pointwise to mean-square. A uniform bound for vecNormSq (h - c) on V bounds meanSquareDeviationVecOn V h c by the same constant.

The remaining declarations are the two elementary facts about the concentric cube family that the pointwise step consumes: the centre belongs to the cube, the sup-norm diameter is 3^m, and a continuous function is integrable on it.

Elementary facts about the concentric cube family #

The sup-norm diameter of a concentric cube.

Vec d carries the sup norm, so two points of the cube of scale m differ by at most its side length 3^m. This is the gauge in which the convex mean-value inequality is applied on the cube.

A concentric triadic cube is contained in a concentric Euclidean closed ball whose radius is an explicit polynomial in the dimension.

Cauchy--Schwarz against the constant #

Cauchy--Schwarz against 1.

(int_V |f|)^2 <= |V| int_V f^2, proved from the nonnegativity of int_V (|f| - t)^2 at the optimal t = (int_V |f|) / |V|.

Cauchy--Schwarz in average form.

The square of the average of |f - c| is dominated by the mean-square deviation of f from c. This is the step that converts the output of the interior gradient estimate, an L^1 average, into the normalized L^2 deviation which e.nablaw.oscillations displays.

Mean recentring #

The volume average minimizes the mean-square deviation.

int_V (f - c)^2 = int_V (f - avg_V f)^2 + |V| (avg_V f - c)^2, so recentring a mean-square deviation at the volume average can only decrease it. This is what lets a pointwise estimate centred at an arbitrary point of the cube be converted into a bound for meanSquareOscillationVecOn.

Mean recentring for the vector oscillation.

meanSquareOscillationVecOn V h <= meanSquareDeviationVecOn V h c for every centre c: the coordinatewise volume average minimizes each summand.

Pointwise to mean-square #

A uniform pointwise bound bounds the mean-square deviation.
