The actual inverse parent flow needs only continuity as an input. Its differentiability, smooth spatial slices, and jointly continuous spatial jets follow from the prescribed Jacobian and inverse identities.
Joint continuity of the spatial jets of an inverse map #
The parameter may range over an arbitrary topological space. Joint
continuity of the map itself and of the prescribed coefficient jets, plus
the actual equation DY = A ∘ Y, determines joint continuity of every
spatial derivative of Y.
No continuity of inverse-map derivatives is an input: it follows from the prescribed differential identity and the coefficient's actual jets.
Joint spatial-jet continuity for the prescribed inverse parent flow #
The smooth bounded coefficient paths already carry genuine continuous spatial jets. Their evaluation, together with the actual inverse identity, supplies all inverse-flow continuity hypotheses used by Sobolev transport.
Every spatial inverse-flow jet is jointly continuous in time and space, derived from the original coefficient path and actual inverse relation.
