The algebraic combination step of the combined decay inequality #
This file formalizes the purely algebraic step in the proof of
lem:theta-decay of paper/ckn.tex, the "Combined decay inequality". The
paper combines three analytic estimates into the one-step decay of the
combined quantity
θ(z,ρ) = α(z,ρ) + β(z,ρ) + κ⁻⁴δ(z,ρ)² (eq:theta)
at the smaller radius κρ, where κ ∈ (0,1/2] is the scale ratio. The three
inputs, each carried here as a hypothesis, are the Caccioppoli inequality
eq:caccioppoli, the pressure decay estimate eq:pressure-decay of
thm:pressure-decay, and the Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality eq:gagliardo
of cor:gagliardo.
The conclusions formalized are the two displayed inequalities
eq:theta-decay-1 and eq:theta-decay-2 of the lemma:
θ(κρ) ≤ C₂₇ κ^{2/3} θ(ρ) + C₂₇ κ^{-5}(β(ρ)^{1/2} + β(ρ)) θ(ρ) + C₂₈ κ^{-1/2} θ(ρ)^{1/2} λ(ρ)^{1/2} + C₂₈ κ^{-3} λ(ρ),
and, when θ(ρ) ≤ 1, the same with β(ρ)^{1/2} + β(ρ) replaced by
2 θ(ρ)^{1/2}. The constants C₂₇ and C₂₈ are the explicit combinations
thetaDecayC₂₇ and thetaDecayC₂₈ of the input constants C₉, C₁₄, C₁₅, C₂₅, C₂₆ displayed at the end of the paper's proof.
No analytic content enters: every step is an elementary real inequality, using
√β ≤ √θ from β ≤ θ, δ ≤ κ²√θ from κ⁻⁴δ² ≤ θ, the Young-type
square-root bounds for √γ, and the power comparisons κ ≤ κ^{2/3} and
κ⁻¹ ≤ κ^{-5} valid for 0 < κ ≤ 1/2.
The quantity and the constants of lem:theta-decay #
The absolute constant C₂₇ of eq:theta-decay-1, in terms of the input
constants C₉ (Gagliardo–Nirenberg), C₁₄ (pressure) and C₂₅
(Caccioppoli): the paper's 3C₁₄² + C₂₅(1 + 2C₉^{1/2}) + 2C₂₅C₉^{1/2}.

Elementary real inequalities #
The combination step #
The combination step of lem:theta-decay. The three analytic inputs of
the lemma — the Caccioppoli inequality eq:caccioppoli (constants C₂₅,
C₂₆), the pressure decay estimate eq:pressure-decay (constants C₁₄,
C₁₅), and the Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality eq:gagliardo (constant
C₉) — together imply the first displayed decay estimate eq:theta-decay-1
for θ = α + β + κ⁻⁴δ² at the ratio κ ∈ (0,1/2].
The hypotheses hA, hB, hC are exactly the paper's (A), (B), (C) at the
radii r = κρ (left-hand quantities αr, βr, δr) and ρ (right-hand
quantities α, β, γ, δ, λ); the conclusion carries the constants
thetaDecayC₂₇ and thetaDecayC₂₈.
The small-θ form of the combination step of lem:theta-decay. This is
eq:theta-decay-2: under the additional hypothesis θ(ρ) ≤ 1 the second term of
thetaDecay_algebra weakens, because β^{1/2} + β ≤ 2θ(ρ)^{1/2}. The analytic
inputs hA, hB, hC are the same as in thetaDecay_algebra.
