Relative closedness of the singular set #
Paper label lem:S-closed: for a suitable weak solution on the space-time
carrier 𝒪 = Ω × I, the singular set is relatively closed in 𝒪. The proof
is the paper's: the regular points form an open set, because the open
neighbourhood that witnesses regularity at one point witnesses it at every
point of that same neighbourhood; the singular set is then the trace on 𝒪
of the complement, a closed set.
Paper label lem:S-closed: the set of regular points is open. If z₀ is
regular, the open set N supplied by def:regular consists of regular points,
because it is contained in spaceTimeSet Ω I and its witness w and exponent
γ serve every point of N equally.
Paper label def:regular: the singular set is the complement of the
regular set inside the space-time carrier spaceTimeSet Ω I.
Paper label lem:S-closed: the singular set is relatively closed in the
space-time carrier spaceTimeSet Ω I, that is, it is the trace on the carrier
of a closed set. The closed set is the complement of the regular set.
