Supports of space-time test functions #
The integrability clauses of def:sws are stated on tsupport φ viewed as a
subset of the parabolic space-time, while the test-function class
CKN.spaceTimeTestFunction states its own support condition on the ordinary product
Vec3 × ℝ. The two closed supports are the same set, but they are produced by
two different topology instances, so a proof has to move between them
explicitly; CKN.tsupport_parabolic_eq is the bridge, and this file packages
the consequences that every clause lemma needs:
- the closed support is compact and lies inside the space-time carrier;
- Lebesgue measure restricted to a compact set is finite, which is what turns every exponent-lowering step into an application of Hölder's inequality;
- the first and second spatial derivatives and the time derivative of a test function again have compact support inside that of the test function, are smooth, and are therefore bounded.
Boundedness is the form in which the test function enters: an integrand of
def:sws is an integrable field times a bounded factor coming from the test
function.
Moving compactness between the parabolic and the product topology #
A parabolically compact set is compact for the product topology of the space and time factors: the identity is a homeomorphism between the two.
The closed support of a compactly supported function on space-time is
compact also when read in the parabolic topology, which is the form the
integrability clauses of def:sws use.
The parabolic closed support of a space-time test function lies inside the space-time carrier.
Lebesgue measure restricted to a compact space-time set is a finite measure. Every use of Hölder's inequality below rests on this.
Supports of the derivatives of a test function #
The closed support of a time derivative lies in that of the function.
A second spatial derivative vanishes off the closed support.
The closed support of a second spatial derivative lies in that of the function.
A spatial derivative of a compactly supported function is compactly supported.
The time derivative of a compactly supported function is compactly supported.
A second spatial derivative of a compactly supported function is compactly supported.
Smoothness of the time derivative #
The time derivative of a smooth function on space-time is smooth. This is
the time analogue of CKN.spatialPartial_contDiff.
Bounds on a test function and its derivatives #
A space-time test function is bounded.
Each spatial derivative of a space-time test function is bounded.
The time derivative of a space-time test function is bounded.
Each second spatial derivative of a space-time test function is bounded.
