Interior H² estimate #
The capstone of the interior regularity chain. This file passes to the limit in the uniform
difference-quotient bound of EllipticPdes.Regularity.Interior.NormBound to produce the
second weak derivative, then assembles the coordinates into the interior H² estimate.
This module keeps the import path EllipticPdes.Regularity.Interior and re-exports the whole
chain, so dependents see the same API as before the file was split.
Main declarations #
interior_secondWeakDeriv: existence of the interior second weak derivative.HasWeakDerivOn: the region-restricted weak derivative.interior_H2_estimate: the interior H² estimate.
Existence of the second weak derivative #
Existence of the interior second weak derivative (Evans §6.3.1, VIII.2.1). For each
(k, i) there is a constant Cd, fixed before the solution and the datum, such that for every
weak solution u of L u = f the whole-space extension of ζ · ∂ᵢu has an
L² weak k-derivative w with ‖w‖ ≤ Cd (‖f‖ + ‖u₀‖): this is the weak-limit converse
weakDeriv_of_diffQuot_bounded fed with the uniform difference-quotient bound
interior_diffQuot_norm_bound. Because ζ ≡ 1 on V, the restriction of w to V is
∂ₖ∂ᵢu there.
Assembly of the interior H² estimate #
Weak derivative on an open region. g' is the weak k-derivative of g on V if
the integration by parts identity is satisfied against every test function in V. This is the
V-restricted analogue of HasWeakDeriv, and is the L²-level statement of ∂ₖ g = g' on
V.

Instances For
A whole-space weak derivative restricts to a weak derivative on any measurable V: test
functions supported in V see only the restricted classes, and the whole-space
integration-by-parts identity localises because both integrands vanish off V.
Interior H² estimate (Evans, Partial Differential Equations (2nd ed.), §6.3.1;
Gilbarg-Trudinger, Elliptic Partial Differential Equations of Second Order, Theorem 8.8).
For a weak solution u ∈ H₀¹(Ω) of L u = f with W^{1,∞} principal coefficients,
in the pointwise form of IsLipCoeff, and bounded transport and zeroth-order coefficients,
and for any compact V ⋐ Ω,
the second weak derivatives exist in L²(V) and are bounded by the data: for every direction
pair (k, i) there is a weak k-derivative wki of ∂ᵢu on V (that is, ∂ₖ∂ᵢu ∈ L²(V))
with ‖∂ₖ∂ᵢu‖_{L²(V)} + ‖∂ᵢu‖_{L²(V)} + ‖u‖_{L²(V)} ≤ C (‖f‖ + ‖u‖). The constant is
quantified before the solution and the datum, so it depends only on the data
(λ, Λ, A₁, d, ‖b‖∞, ‖c‖∞, the cutoff tower for V ⋐ Ω) and on neither u nor f. This is
the L²-level statement that u ∈ H²_loc(Ω) with the interior estimate.
