Kernel All Orders #
Part of the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg partial regularity proof.
All-order estimates for the Newtonian potentials of an annular density #
The Newtonian kernel and each of its first derivatives are of every finite differentiability order away from the origin, with
‖D^k N x‖ ≤ c_k ‖x‖₂^{-(1 + k)}, ‖D^k ∂_j N x‖ ≤ c_k ‖x‖₂^{-(2 + k)},
the kernel estimates behind cor:CZ-harmonic. Consequently, if the density g
vanishes outside a set A separated from an open set U by δ > 0, then the
potentials N * g and ∂_j N * g are of every finite differentiability order
on U and obey
‖D^k (N * g) x‖ ≤ c_k δ^{-(1 + k)} ‖g‖₁,
‖D^k (∂_j N * g) x‖ ≤ c_k δ^{-(2 + k)} ‖g‖₁ for x ∈ U,
with constants depending on the order k alone; this is the display
eq:har-Ck. Specialising to the pressure geometry U = B(x₀, ρ/2) and
A = B(x₀, 3ρ/4) \ B(x₀, 13ρ/20), the separation is δ = 3ρ/20 (lem:cutoff).

Each first-order Newtonian kernel ∂_j N has every finite differentiability order
away from the origin.
