Solvability of the localized Dirichlet problems, and uniqueness up to null sets #

Section 5 names two solutions on y + □_n: the solution u_m of -∇·a_m∇u = ∇·g for the cutoff coefficient field at scale m, and the comparator v solving -σ_n Δ v = ∇·g. Naming them presupposes that they exist, and using them in a supremum presupposes that the family they range over is nonempty. This module supplies both existence statements on the translated carrier, and the uniqueness that holds at this level of regularity: two solutions of the same problem agree away from a null set.

Pointwise uniqueness is a statement about a continuous representative, not about the H¹ witnesses; it belongs to the representative theory and is not proved here.

Main results #

The ellipticity hypothesis of the uniqueness statement #

isDirichletSolutionAt_ae_unique carries IsEllipticFieldOn lam Lam on the cube. This is a genuine premise, not a convenience: for a degenerate coefficient field the Dirichlet problem has many solutions, so no hypothesis-free uniqueness statement is true. Both families used by Section 5 satisfy it — the comparator with lam = Lam = σ_n, the cutoff field with lam = ν — and the two hypothesis-free specializations isDirichletSolutionAt_ae_unique_comparator and isDirichletSolutionAt_ae_unique_cutoff are recorded below.

References #

1. Moving a solution from □_n back to y + □_n #

Two H¹ witnesses with the same value and gradient are equal: the remaining fields are propositions.

2. Hölder data on the translated cube #

On the translated cube in dimension d ≥ 1, a Hölder bound forces its constant to be nonnegative.

A Hölder-continuous vector field on y + □_n is square integrable there.

3. Existence for the comparator #

The comparator exists. For every scale, centre and 1/2-Hölder forcing field the constant-coefficient Dirichlet problem -σ_n Δ v = ∇·g on y + □_n with zero boundary values has a solution.

4. Existence for the rough field #

Every translated cube is contained in a centred cube of a large enough scale.

The rough-field solution exists. For every sample, every scale m, every cube y + □_n and every 1/2-Hölder forcing field the Dirichlet problem -∇·a_m∇u = ∇·g with zero boundary values has a solution.

5. Uniqueness away from a null set #

Two solutions of the same localized Dirichlet problem agree almost everywhere on the cube, gradient and value.

The ellipticity of a on the cube is a genuine premise: without it the homogeneous problem has nonzero solutions.

The two families of Section 5 #

The comparator background is elliptic on the cube, with both constants σ_n.

The cutoff coefficient field is elliptic on the cube, with lower constant the molecular diffusivity.

Two comparator solutions agree almost everywhere on the cube.
