Ball means and the Campanato decay hypothesis #
The C^{k,α} scale of Schauder theory rests on Campanato's characterisation of Hölder
continuity: a function whose mean oscillation over balls decays like r^α has a Hölder
representative of exponent α. This file fixes the two objects that characterisation is
stated through, the mean
u_{x,r} = ⨍_{B(x,r)} u
written ballAverage u x r, and the decay hypothesis
∫_{B(x,r)} |u - u_{x,r}|² ≤ M² r^{d + 2α} for every ball B(x,r) ⊆ Ω,
written CampanatoOn Ω u α M. The hypothesis quantifies over balls contained in Ω, which is
the form property (H3) of Fernández-Real and Ros-Oton takes, so every mean in sight is a mean
over a ball and has the exact volume r^d · |B(0,1)|.
The rest of the file records what the estimates downstream need: the volume of a ball as a real
number, and the integrability of u and of (u - c)² on a ball, both read off from
MemLp u 2 (volume.restrict Ω).
The volume of the unit ball of EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d), as a real number. Every ball
volume in this library is a multiple of it, so it is convenient to name it once.
Equations
Instances For
The unit ball has positive volume.
The volume of B(x, r) is r^d times the volume of the unit ball.
The volume of B(x, r) written with a real exponent, the form the decay hypothesis uses.
The restriction of Lebesgue measure to a ball is finite.
Mean of u over the ball B(x, r). Campanato's hypothesis measures the oscillation
of u about this value, and the characterisation produces the Hölder representative as the limit
of these means as r → 0.

Instances For
Campanato decay hypothesis. The mean oscillation of u over every ball contained in
Ω decays at the rate r^{d + 2α}, with constant M. For 0 < α ≤ 1 this forces u to have a
Hölder representative of exponent α on the interior of Ω; that is the content of

The decay hypothesis weakens when the constant grows.
The decay hypothesis shrinks with the domain.
Square integrability on Ω restricts to any ball inside Ω.
Subtracting a constant preserves square integrability on a ball.
