Monotonicity of the scale quantities in the radius #
This module formalizes Lemma lem:monotonicity of paper/ckn.tex. For a fixed
centre z and radii 0 < r₁ ≤ r₂, the five quantities alpha, beta, gamma,
delta and lambda of paper/ckn.tex grow at most like the powers of r₂ / r₁
printed in the lemma. The paper's statement of the fourth inequality is the
squared form δ(z,r₁)² ≤ (r₂/r₁)^{4/3} δ(z,r₂)²; the companion Remark
rem:kukavica-monotonicity also records the equivalent unsquared form with the
exponent 2/3. The theorem delta_sq_mono_radius below proves the squared
form used by the iteration estimates.
Each inequality has two ingredients. Enlarging the cylinder (or the time-slice
domain) makes the underlying nonnegative integral, respectively time-slice
essential supremum, monotone; this is supplied by the radius-monotonicity
lemmas of the parabolic integration library. The remaining step is elementary
real algebra with Real.rpow, isolated below as lemmas over abstract reals so
that the rpow atoms stay opaque.
The definitions evaluate the underlying nonnegative integral with
ENNReal.toReal, which sends ⊤ to 0. The paper's inequalities therefore
require the relevant quantity at the larger radius to be finite: this is the
hfin hypothesis below, and it holds for the suitable weak solutions considered
in paper/ckn.tex.
Lemma lem:monotonicity of paper/ckn.tex for the velocity energy alpha:
α(z,r₁) ≤ (r₂/r₁)^{1/2} α(z,r₂). The hypothesis hfin records that the
time-slice energy at the larger radius is finite, as it is for the suitable weak
solutions of the paper.
Lemma lem:monotonicity of paper/ckn.tex for the gradient quantity beta:
β(z,r₁) ≤ (r₂/r₁)^{1/2} β(z,r₂).
Lemma lem:monotonicity of paper/ckn.tex for the velocity cubic quantity
gamma: γ(z,r₁) ≤ (r₂/r₁)^{2/3} γ(z,r₂).
Lemma lem:monotonicity of paper/ckn.tex for the pressure quantity
delta, in the squared form stated in the paper:
δ(z,r₁)² ≤ (r₂/r₁)^{4/3} δ(z,r₂)².
Lemma lem:monotonicity of paper/ckn.tex for the force quantity lambda:
for q > 0, λ(z,r₁) ≤ (r₁/r₂)^{3-5/q} λ(z,r₂). Here 3 - 5/q is the
exponent σ appearing in the paper.
