How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The higher-order energy inequality and a common Galerkin lifespan with ∥uN(t)∥Hs≤2Y0

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice ACω (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)), used through the Fourier-coefficient suppliers. Fix N≥1, ν≥0 and a real s>5/2, and let uN:I→XN be the maximal solution of the Galerkin system uN′=FN(uN) of The Galerkin coefficient system: finite-dimensional invariance, local Lipschitz property, and the unique maximal approximation on the torus with initial datum uN(0)=PNu0, where u0∈Hσs and Y0:=∥u0∥Hs.

  1. Energy inequality. For every real m≥s and every t∈I, 12ddt∥uN(t)∥Hm2+ν∥∇uN(t)∥Hm2  ≤  Cm∥uN(t)∥Hs∥uN(t)∥Hm2, where Cm is the commutator constant of The transport term is orthogonal to itself and the tame commutator estimate ∥[Λm,u⋅∇]u∥L2≤Cm∥u∥Hm∥u∥Hs (claim 2), and ∥∇uN∥Hm2:=∑j=13∥∂juN∥Hm2.
  2. Common lifespan. With T:={(2CsY0)−1,Y0>0,1,Y0=0, one has [0,T]⊆I and ∥uN(t)∥Hs≤2Y0(0≤t≤T); if Y0=0 then uN≡0 on I. In particular the same interval length T, depending only on Y0 and s (and not on N or on the finer profile of u0), is a common interval of existence for all Galerkin approximations.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Galerkin solution uN of The Galerkin coefficient system: finite-dimensional invariance, local Lipschitz property, and the unique maximal approximation on the torus (whose values are trigonometric polynomials, hence belong to every Hm), the operators Λm, ∂j, P, PN and the weights of Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection.

[F1]

Hm is a real Hilbert space with weighted inner product ⟨f,g⟩Hm=∑kwk2mf^(k)⋅g^(k)‾ and ∥f∥Hm2=⟨f,f⟩Hm. Bare ⟨f,g⟩ denotes the unweighted L2 pairing, so for polynomials ⟨f,g⟩Hm=⟨f,Λ2mg⟩; Λ2m is self-adjoint and positive and Λ2m=ΛmΛm; ∥∂jv∥Hm≤∥v∥Hm+1 (Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection).

[F2]

P and PN are self-adjoint orthogonal projections on Hm, norm nonincreasing, commuting with Δ; PN is the identity on XN and uN′∈XN (Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection, The Galerkin coefficient system: finite-dimensional invariance, local Lipschitz property, and the unique maximal approximation on the torus).

[F3]

Claims 1-3 of The transport term is orthogonal to itself and the tame commutator estimate ∥[Λm,u⋅∇]u∥L2≤Cm∥u∥Hm∥u∥Hs: ∫((u⋅∇)w)⋅w dx=0 for u∈Hm divergence-free and w∈Hm; ∥[Λm,u⋅∇]u∥L2≤Cm∥u∥Hm∥u∥Hs; and ⟨(u⋅∇)u,Λ2mu⟩=⟨[Λm,u⋅∇]u,Λmu⟩ for u∈H2m divergence-free.

Proof

technique · direct; differentiate the squared $H^m$-norm along the Galerkin flow, bound the transport term by the commutator estimate, and integrate the resulting scalar differential inequality by a regularization of the reciprocal

Given: The Galerkin solution uN and facts [F1]-[F5].

1.1F1F2

Since t↦uN(t) is differentiable in Hm with derivative uN′(t) and the squared norm is the quadratic form ∥uN∥Hm2=⟨uN,uN⟩Hm, the derivative of t↦∥uN(t)∥Hm2 is 2⟨uN′,uN⟩Hm, and ⟨uN′,uN⟩Hm=⟨−PNP((uN⋅∇)uN)+νΔuN,uN⟩Hm. By [F2], PN is self-adjoint and the identity on XN∋uN, and P is self-adjoint with PΛ2muN=Λ2muN (as uN is divergence-free); by [F1], ⟨ΔuN,uN⟩Hm=−∥∇uN∥Hm2. Hence with w:=ΛmuN one has the identity 12ddt∥uN∥Hm2+ν∥∇uN∥Hm2=−⟨(uN⋅∇)uN,Λ2muN⟩.

2.1step 1.1F3

By claim 3 and claim 2 of [F3], ∣⟨(uN⋅∇)uN,Λ2muN⟩∣=∣⟨[Λm,uN⋅∇]uN,ΛmuN⟩∣≤Cm∥uN∥Hm∥uN∥Hs∥ΛmuN∥H0=Cm∥uN∥Hs∥uN∥Hm2. Inserting this into step 1.1 gives the energy inequality of claim 1 for every m≥s, the case m>5/2 being the hypothesis of [F3] and m≥s>5/2.

3.1step 2.1algebra

Put Z(t):=∥uN(t)∥Hs2 and Y(t):=∥uN(t)∥Hs=Z(t)1/2. Step 2.1 with m=s gives 12Z′≤CsZ3/2, that is Z′≤2CsZ3/2. For ϵ>0 define Yϵ:=(Z+ϵ2)1/2>0; then Yϵ′=Z′/(2Yϵ)≤CsZ3/2/Yϵ≤CsYϵ2 because Z≤Yϵ2 and Z3/2≤Yϵ3.

4.1step 3.1F5

Since (1/Yϵ)′=−Yϵ′/Yϵ2≥−Cs on any interval where Yϵ is defined, the fundamental theorem [F5] and monotonicity of the integral give 1Yϵ(t)≥1Yϵ(0)−Cst for t∈I, t≥0, as long as the right-hand side is positive; hence Yϵ(t)≤Yϵ(0)(1−CsYϵ(0)t)−1 whenever the denominator is positive.

5.1step 4.1given

Letting ϵ↓0 in step 4.1 (with Yϵ(0)→∥PNu0∥Hs≤Y0 and Yϵ(t)→Y(t); the function y↦y/(1−Csyt) is increasing while its denominator is positive) gives, for t∈I with t≥0 and CsY0t<1, the bound Y(t)≤Y0(1−CsY0t)−1. In particular, for the time T of the statement with Y0>0, the denominator at t=T is 1/2, so Y(t)≤2Y0 for t∈I∩[0,T]; if Y0=0, the zero field solves the IVP with the same initial datum, so IVP uniqueness gives uN≡0 on the whole maximal interval.

6.1step 5.1given∎

The bound ∥uN(t)∥Hs≤2Y0 on [0,T] precludes a finite maximal right endpoint Tmax⁡≤T: by the blow-up alternative of The Galerkin coefficient system: finite-dimensional invariance, local Lipschitz property, and the unique maximal approximation on the torus (claim 3), ∥uN(t)∥Hs would have to tend to +∞ as t↑Tmax⁡, contradicting the bound. Hence Tmax⁡>T, that is, [0,T]⊆I; this proves claim 2.

Remarks

  • The constant Cs is the commutator constant of order s; the lifespan bound is therefore explicit in terms of the commutator estimate, with no hidden compactness.
  • If Y0=0 then PNu0=0 in Hs, so the Galerkin solution is identically zero; the stated choice T=1 is a harmless convention to make the common-lifespan statement unconditional.
