Pairing an L² class against a test function #
Evans's step 3 of §6.3.1, Theorem 2 assembles a datum out of a dozen products of a coefficient against a derivative of the solution, and every one of them reaches the statement as an integral against a test function. Moving between the sum of the integrals and the integral of the sum is all of the bookkeeping, the same three facts each time: the pairing is additive, it commutes with a finite sum, and a weighted class pairs as the weight times the class.
Integrability is what makes the moves legal, and it is uniform: an L² class against a
continuous compactly supported function is integrable, by Hölder. Every lemma here takes the
test function as smooth with compact support and asks nothing about its support, since none of
these steps localises.

Integrability of an L² class against a test function. Hölder with the two exponents 2
and the continuous compactly supported factor in L².
The pairing is additive in the class.
The pairing subtracts in the class.
The pairing negates in the class.
The pairing commutes with a finite sum over a Finset.
The pairing commutes with a finite sum over a Fintype.
Pairing of an extension by zero over its original set. A whole-space integral of a
weight against the extension of an L²(S) class collapses to an integral over S. Stated with
a weight on each side, which is the shape every block of the bilinear form takes.
Splitting off a derivative of the test function by a cutoff. Writing χ ∂ⱼv as
∂ⱼ(χv) - (∂ⱼχ)v moves the pairing onto the cut-off test function, which is the form the
differentiated equation is stated against.
Two classes agreeing under a cutoff pair identically against anything the cutoff fixes.
Where θ·X = θ·Y almost everywhere and θψ = ψ pointwise, the pairings against ψ agree.
This is how an identification valid only after a cutoff is used: every weight the datum
assembly pairs against is supported where the outer cutoff of the tower is identically 1, so
θψ = ψ there and the cutoff disappears from the conclusion.
The same with a weight in front, which is the shape every block of the bilinear form takes. The cutoff passes through the weight, so the hypothesis is unchanged.
Sum of two weighted classes paired against a cut-off test function. The differentiated equation groups its datum two terms at a time, one with a derivative of a coefficient and one with a derivative of the solution, and the datum of the induction step names them separately. This is the split, with the cutoff moved to the front where the datum has it.
A weighted class pairs as the weight against the class.
