Pointwise interior bound from a local L² bound #
The interior Hölder estimate for small contrast turns the local L² size of a
solution into a pointwise bound at the centre of a ball: the value at the
centre is bounded by the L² average on any concentric sub-ball plus the
Hölder modulus at that radius. Shrinking the sub-ball trades the two terms
against each other.
The small-contrast hypothesis is the price of using the interior Schauder chain of the regularity layer. A general elliptic field would need a De Giorgi--Nash--Moser local boundedness estimate, which the layer does not carry.
Main results #
The zero extension of a test function pairs with a fixed scalar field exactly as the original test function does.
The pointwise scalar equation restricts from an open set to an open subset, in the zeroth-order carrier consumed by the Schauder chain.
An essential bound gives membership in the L^infinity carrier.
An essential bound bounds the L^infinity size.
Interior pointwise bound at the centre of a ball, under small contrast.
The value of the continuous representative at the centre is bounded by the
L² average on every concentric sub-ball of radius at most r / 2, plus the
Schauder Hölder modulus at that radius.
