The weighted energy inequality with layer constants #
The weighted energy estimate is restated so that the size of the coefficient enters only on the transition layer of the weight. Two structural facts make this possible.
- The symmetric part of the coefficient is the fixed scalar
nu • I, so the elliptic energy is exactlynutimes the squared gradient at every point of the domain. No upper size constant is used there. - The coefficient enters everywhere else only through the flux cross term
⟨a grad u, grad zeta⟩, whose second factor is supported on the layer{grad zeta ≠ 0}. The Young inequality is therefore applied with a size constant that the caller supplies on that layer alone.
The resulting statements take exactly the form of the uniformly elliptic ones
with lower constant nu and with the upper constant replaced by the layer
size C; the ellipticity hypothesis on the whole domain survives only
qualitatively, to know that the flux is square integrable, and its upper
constant never enters a conclusion.
Main results #
The layer form of the weighted energy inequality #
The weighted energy inequality with a layer size constant. The
coefficient has scalar symmetric part nu • I, so the elliptic energy is
exactly nu times the squared gradient; the size constant C is required
only where the weight gradient does not vanish.
The mass form #
The mass form of an energy inequality. When the forcing has the dissipative sign, the localized mass is bounded by whatever bounds the layer term of the energy inequality. The coefficient enters only through that inequality.
Absorbing the exponential factor #
The squared gradient of a product weight is controlled by the squared gradient of the localization and the logarithmic rate of the second factor.
Absorb a logarithmic weight while paying an explicit remainder from the mass budget.
Absorption of a logarithmic weight. Given a mass bound whose layer
term is the squared gradient of the product weight, and a factor obeying the
logarithmic gradient bound at rate kappa, half of the mass is absorbed and
only the gradient of the localization survives.
