Covering a compact space-time set by ball cylinders inside a local box #
The spatial factor Ω' of a local box is an arbitrary open set with compact
closure, so no Sobolev extension is available on it and the embedding
H¹ ↪ L⁶ cannot be applied there. The embedding is available on Euclidean
balls, which is why CKN.ball_time_sobolev is stated on vec3Ball x₀ r.
This file supplies the geometry that bridges the two: a compact subset of the
space-time carrier is covered by finitely many cylinders vec3Ball x_k r_k × J
whose balls all lie inside the spatial factor of one local box. The time
factor is never subdivided, because the interpolation on a ball accepts an
arbitrary order-connected time interval; so the cover is indexed by one finite
family and a finite union of integrability statements closes it.
Euclidean balls inside an open set #
A Euclidean ball of Vec3 is contained in the metric ball of the same
centre and radius for the ambient supremum norm.
The centre of a Euclidean ball of positive radius belongs to it.
Every point of an open subset of Vec3 has a Euclidean ball around it
inside the set.
The finite cover #
A compact subset of the space-time carrier sits inside a local box whose spatial factor is covered, over that same compact set, by finitely many Euclidean balls of the factor. The time factor of the box is used unchanged for every ball.
The ball cover of the previous statement, phrased for the data clauses of
def:sws, which supply the openness and order-connectedness hypotheses.
